The Naming of the Stadium: Honoring Romeo Menti

The stadium’s most defining moment came when it was renamed in honor of Romeo Menti, a talented forward who played for Vicenza before joining the legendary "Grande Torino" side.

Named after local football hero Romeo Menti—who tragically died in the 1949 Superga air disaster—the stadium’s history is deeply interwoven with that of the city, reflecting Vicenza’s resilience, traditions, and passion for the beautiful game. Beyond football, the stadium is a venue for concerts, civic events, and youth tournaments, reinforcing its role as a community hub (Sport Vicentino).

Named after Romeo Menti, a former Italian footballer who perished in the 1949 Superga air disaster, the stadium carries deep historical significance.

Public transport or walking is often more convenient.

Are food and drinks available?
Yes, but options are basic. Bologna’s Stadio Dall’Ara original known as “Stadio Littoriale” and Palermo’s La Favorita aka “Stadio Littorio” were also built as part of this Fascist inspired architectural movement.

Damaged heavily during the Second World War, it took a team of volunteers from the local area the best part of a year to restore the pitch to adequate playing condition and in 1949 the ground was renamed in honour of a former player.

Menti’s life was tragically cut short in the 1949 Superga air disaster, which claimed the lives of the entire Torino squad.

To commemorate his contributions to Italian football and his connection to Vicenza, the stadium was officially named Stadio Romeo Menti, ensuring his legacy would endure for generations.
