Gragnano's Parco della Bellezza redevelopment on via Vittorio Veneto is set to move into construction, with a new sports hall as the first phase. The first-stone ceremony is scheduled for 23 September 2026.
The overall investment is reported at 5 million euros, described as entirely financed by the Italian Ministry of the Interior. The project is presented as a combined sports, cultural and social hub, rather than a standalone sports venue.
What the project includes
The redevelopment combines sporting facilities, cultural programming, food service, family recreation and parking.
Reported elements include:
- A new sports hall, described as the first construction phase
- A theatre-auditorium, planned as a later phase
- Three paddle courts
- A bistrot
- Multifunctional spaces and family areas
- Underground parking
The sports pavilion is described with a capacity of 194 people, while the theatre-auditorium is described with 740 seats. The underground car park is described as being on two levels, with approximately 100 parking spaces.
How the works are phased
The sports hall comes first. The theatre-auditorium is planned as a later phase, in the area currently occupied by the geodesic dome.
That dome is expected to remain open during the works, allowing continued activity on the site while construction proceeds elsewhere in the park.
What to watch next
The sources do not identify the contractor, the procurement procedure, or a detailed construction timetable beyond the scheduled first-stone ceremony. Final operating arrangements, costs by project component and the theatre's definitive design are also not specified.
For readers following the project, the practical markers are therefore the 23 September ceremony for the sports hall and, later, the start of the theatre-auditorium phase in the dome area.
