The Palalottomatica of Rome, designed
in 1956 by Pierluigi Nervi and built four years later
on the occasion of the Olympic Games, is one of the greatest
examples of Italian architecture in the XX century. Through
the years its significance has always been preserved with
projects of renovation respectful of both its interior
and exterior design.
Thanks to its great capacity, amplified by its modular
structure, the Palalottomatica can give perfect hospitality
to meetings of 700 people, as much as to greater events
gathering more than 11.000 people in its fascinating and
elegant building, unique in Rome.
The latest renovations, according to the most recent laws,
made the Palalottomatica a multifunctional hall, operating
365 days per year, with 8 meeting points equipped with
bars, an adequate restaurant and exposition facilities. |
