Franchi Renovation Delay Pushes Curva Fiesole Reopening to 2027

City officials attribute the slip to steel supply setbacks and unforeseen ground conditions at Campo di Marte.

Overview

  • The overall renovation timeline for the Artemio Franchi stadium remains set for 2029, according to the municipality.
  • Technical notes cite longer procurement times for steel roof structures and a switch from helical to drilled piles due to unexpected subsoil characteristics.
