Stadio Flaminio visitor guide, Italy

The Stadio Flaminio is the home of the Italy rugby union national team, and is located in Rome, Italy.

The stadium has a capacity of 32,000, making it the smallest of the Six Nations venues. However, small it may be, but it is arguably the prettiest of the Six Nations venues, with its tree-lined hillside backdrop.

The single-tier stadium was constructed on the site of an older ground in the late 1950s to help host the 1960 Olympic Games (you can see the five-ring symbol above the players' tunnel).

As for the city of Rome, it needs no introduction. If you fancy an overnight stay, it is highly recommended that you use a hotel near the Stadio Flaminio as a base to explore one of the world’s greatest cities.
