Palazzetto dello Sport, also known as PalaTiziano, is one of Rome’s distinctive arenas built for the 1960 Olympic Games. Designed by architect Annibale Vitellozzi and engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, the circular venue is defined by its elegant reinforced-concrete dome and a structure that combines practical event use with significant 20th-century architectural heritage. The arena accommodates approximately 3,500 spectators in its basketball configuration and hosts basketball, volleyball, concerts and other events.
The compact seating bowl keeps spectators close to the court or stage, provides clear sightlines and creates an energetic atmosphere. Renovated lighting and climate-control systems, refurbished stands and modern facilities for athletes, organisers and media support a comfortable experience across different event formats. Drinks and light refreshments may be available, depending on the event organiser and programme.
The arena is located at Piazza Apollodoro, 10, Rome, Italy, in the Flaminio district. The Apollodoro tram stop on Via Flaminia is only a short walk away; from the stop, continue towards Piazza Apollodoro and follow the event signs to the correct entrance. Parking in the surrounding streets can be limited during major events, so arriving early is advisable.
