The renovation and modernization project of the Alberto Picco stadium in La Spezia, Italy, built in the 1930s, stems from the need to adapt it to the standards and requirements of the Lega Nazionale Professionisti Serie A, but with the aim of providing the facility with the comforts and services required at national and international level, in order to return the city and its fans with a modern and safe, technological and comfortable facility.
