Stadio Giuseppe Piccolo

Stadio Giuseppe Piccolo owes its name to a student who died after donating his organs following a stray bullet in 1991. It was Stadio Comunale di Cercola before that.

The structure itself is open, supported by steel trusses that look old and tired in the sun. There are no grand entrances, just a row of small painted buildings at the base where the turnstiles are.

It is managed by Centro Sportivo Cercola and owned by the municipality, a modest arrangement for a venue that hosts Serie A Women football. SSC Napoli Femmannile play here, and their matches draw crowds, though the numbers are small. A record attendance of 750 has been noted, a figure that feels like a local event rather than a spectacle. An annual tournament in March honours the boy the ground is named for, keeping the memory alive beyond the game.

Capacity figures are a debate for another day, with sources citing 3,947 or 7,000, but the feeling is of a space that is not quite finished. The pitch is artificial, bright green under the Italian sun, and the stands do not rise high. It is a place for football in a town that looks out to the water, a modest stage where the history between the teams adds a quiet edge.
