Stadium
Palasport di Cologne
Cologno Monzese, Italy
Formerly: Palazzetto di Via Volta
The Palazzetto dello Sport 'Fabrizio De Chiara' stands on Via Alessandro Volta in Cologno Monzese. The work involved seismic and energy upgrades that totalled approximately €750,000, and the venue reopened in October 2020 before its official inauguration on October 23, 2021. That reopening was marked by a boxing match, and it was at that point the hall was named after Fabrizio De Chiara, a local boxer who died in 1996.
Inside, the capacity is listed as 600, though this figure cannot be verified through external sources and no official documents specify the number of seats. The venue remains primarily a home for boxing and local sports events rather than hosting permanent teams. The building's history stretches back further than the renovation—sources note that as recently as 2017, the gym had remained "exactly the same as 25 years ago," confirming its existence long before the recent works.
It has no permanent home teams and instead hosts temporary events and boxing matches. The original construction year remains unclear in available sources, and the venue is still locally known by its address-based name, 'Palazzetto di Via Volta'.
Fabrizio De Chiara — the hall bears his name, given after the local boxer who died in 1996, following the renovation that reopened the facility in October 2020 and formally inaugurated it on October 23, 2021.
