Publisert

Munich/Milan, 25 May 2023. CTS EVENTIM, one of the leading international providers of
ticketing services and live entertainment, has commissioned TREVI with the first construction
phase of the Arena Santa Giulia in Milan. This marks the start of of the largest and most modern
multifunctional hall in Italy and the accompanying development of the new Santa Giulia district.
Renowned architect David Chipperfield joined forces with international consultants Arup on the
design.

Civil engineering company TREVI is already setting up the construction site and will start
driving in the first piles that will form the new arena’s deep foundations. In parallel, the general
contractor to build the arena will be chosen over the coming weeks.

The planned construction of the new arena, which will hold up to 16,000 people, is expected
to take around two and a half years. The project design includes a piazza with more than
10,000 square metres of space for summer festivals and open-air events. The ensemble will
be a prime location for national and international live events, and will be part of CTS
EVENTIM’s portfolio of world-class venues.

Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS EVENTIM, says: “We are now looking forward to the
next phase of construction. TREVI has decades of experience with this type of specialised
foundation work, which will ensure a successful start to the arena’s construction. Together, we
aim to create a high-quality events venue in Italy that will transform Milan into an attractive hub
for the sports and entertainment industries with a global reach.”
