Sferisterio

Nestled in the small mountain town of Macerata, the Sferisterio stands as one of Italy’s most unique outdoor venues. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, this neoclassical stadium originally hosted matches of pallone col bracciale, a sport that was Italy’s favorite for over 500 years. Today, the Sferisterio has transformed into a cultural hub, hosting the Sferisterio Opera Festival, where visitors can experience world-class performances under the open sky.
