The Tardini stadium is located in the center of Parma. The site not only forms part of the city's history, but also part of the history of sport in Italy. However, its downtown location and its age render it a problematic structure in terms of traffic and safety. What's more, its historical and cultural value place it at the center of key social and political sensitivities that need to be balanced. As such, adapting the stadium to current needs means considering the wellbeing of fans and citizens, protecting the environment and improving the match experience, all while ensuring that the impact from sound and lighting on the surrounding areas is reduced.
