Avellino's II Permanent Council Commission has put the Stadio Partenio-Lombardi back at the center of local politics, scheduling two urgent meetings for 2 and 5 October at the municipal headquarters.
The initiative comes from Commission chair Laura Nargi. The first meeting is dedicated specifically to the Curva Nord and will hear Mario Dell'Anno, president of the "Per La Storia" association. The second will address the broader future of the stadium and is scheduled to hear Mayor Nello Pizza and municipal official Francesco Tolino on discussions between the Comune di Avellino and US Avellino.
For supporters, the agenda is familiar but significant: after years of closure and debate, the council is formally examining administrative steps, technical feasibility, possible projects, financing, and timelines side by side.
2 October: the Curva Nord proposal
The 2 October session focuses on one section of the stadium: the Curva Nord.
According to the commission's agenda, the hearing will cover the administrative process, technical feasibility, possible redevelopment projects, financing options, and implementation timelines.
Central to that discussion is expected to be the proposal from Dell'Anno's "Per La Storia" association for redeveloping the Curva Nord. No approved design, funding package, or reopening date has been identified in the available reporting.
5 October: the wider stadium question
The 5 October meeting widens the scope from the Curva Nord to the stadium as a whole.
Mayor Nello Pizza and Francesco Tolino are scheduled to update the commission on talks between the Comune di Avellino and US Avellino. Mayor Pizza has publicly supported reopening the Curva Nord in the short term and has linked the stadium issue to ongoing discussions involving the municipality, the club, and the Campania Region.
The exact status of those discussions remains unresolved.
Why reopening is complicated
The Curva Nord has been closed since 2013, according to Il Mattino, and reopening is not only a political decision.
Local reporting points to legislative, bureaucratic, and technical obstacles, particularly around safety and access. The key issues include external pre-filtering space for supporters, spectator flows and entrances, and road access near the emergency department.
One early-stage possibility mentioned in local coverage is a partial reopening for approximately 2,000 to 3,000 spectators. That figure is presented as an embryonic option, not an adopted plan.
What to watch next
Two questions will determine whether the October meetings mark a turning point or another round of discussion.
First, technical clearance: can a Curva Nord solution satisfy safety, access, and emergency-road requirements without a disproportionate cost or lengthy redesign?
Second, institutional agreement: can the Comune di Avellino, US Avellino, and the Campania Region converge on who pays, who builds, and on what timetable?
The available sources do not establish whether the 2 and 5 October meetings took place as scheduled or what decisions they produced. Readers should treat the hearings as fact-finding steps: useful for clarifying proposals and constraints, but not yet a reopening decision.
