Stadium Information
Name:
Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo
Capacity:
approximately 11,150 seats (up to 12,048 depending on the source)
Address:
Sant'Elena, 30132 Venice, Italy
Club:
Venezia FC
Description:
The Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo opened on 7 September 1913 and is, after the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Genoa, the second-oldest stadium in continuous use in Italy. The opening match ended in a 0-7 defeat to Genoa, an inauspicious start for a ground that has since become one of the most singular football venues in Europe. It takes its name from pilot Pier Luigi Penzo, who died during the First World War, and was renamed in his honour in 1931. The capacity has varied considerably over the club's history: from around 15,000 seats originally to about 25,000 in the 1960s, then a drastic reduction to just over 5,000 after a devastating tornado in September 1970, until the return to Serie A in 1998, when temporary stands again brought capacity up to around 13,400. Today the stadium holds around 11,150 seats. Not only its age, also its island location, right next to the Venice Biennale site, makes the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo one of the most unusual stadiums in European football. You will feel how special a matchday here is as soon as you take your seat for the first time.
The Curva Sud, dedicated to the late ultra Michael Groppello, is the heart of support for Venezia, six different ultras groups call it home and dress the stadium in black, orange and green. The Curva Nord is traditionally reserved for away supporters. With the stadium having reached its structural limits, the club is considering a move to a new stadium in the medium term, possibly from 2027, but for now the Penzo remains the fixed home of the Arancioneroverdi.
Best Ways to Reach the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo
Once your Venezia tickets are booked, it is time to work out how to get to the stadium, and this is where Venice sets itself apart from every other city in this project: there is no direct car access to the historic centre, let alone to the stadium island itself. Not only by vaporetto, also by train and on foot, you can reach the stadium without much trouble. It can be a bit of stressful to plan the route the first time, but once you have done it, you will get used to it quickly. Here are your options:
By Train
Travellers coming from abroad or further afield first reach either Venezia Santa Lucia station, right in the historic centre, or Venezia Mestre station, on the mainland. From Santa Lucia, the journey continues by vaporetto or on foot along the canals; from Mestre, it is recommended to continue by regional train to Santa Lucia and then proceed as described above. Also from Venice Marco Polo Airport, a direct bus connection serves the station area.
By Vaporetto
The public water bus, the vaporetto, is the main mode of transport in Venice and therefore also the most practical way to reach the stadium. Lines 4.1 and 5.1 take you directly to the Sant'Elena stop, from where it is only about a 5-minute walk to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo. On matchdays, boats run more frequently than usual, but they still fill up quickly before kick-off. Not only the short distance from the stop, also the view of the lagoon during the ride makes this trip an experience in its own right.
On Foot
Those who prefer to take their time can walk from Piazza San Marco in about 30 minutes along the Riva degli Schiavoni promenade to the stadium, passing the Venice Biennale site on the way. Cycling is practically impossible and also uncommon in the historic Venetian centre, which is why walking is the classic alternative to the vaporetto here. Not only the car-free surroundings, also the many small bars and cafés along the route, such as the Vincent Bar or the Bar Al Parco near the stadium, make this walk an enjoyable way to arrive.
By Car
Those arriving by car should know that the historic centre of Venice is completely closed to car traffic. Vehicles are left in one of two large car parks on the edge of the historic centre, either on Tronchetto island or at Piazzale Roma, the last point connected to the mainland. From there, the journey continues not by car but by vaporetto towards Sant'Elena and the stadium. It can be a bit of stressful to find a parking spot on a big matchday, so allow enough time. Not only the parking fees, also the extra vaporetto leg should be factored into your trip planning. Those who arrive early tend to find a spot more easily and have a more relaxed start to matchday.
The Stands of the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo
The Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo is divided into four main areas: the Curva Sud, the Curva Nord, the Tribuna Centrale and the Tribuna Laterale. During Venezia home matches, the Curva Sud is the club's own supporters' section, while away supporters are traditionally placed in the Curva Nord. You will never feel like you are watching the match from far away, whichever tier you are seated in, since the compact build of this historic stadium keeps even the furthest seats close to the action. This is also one of the reasons a matchday at the Penzo feels so special. Not only the home section, also the away section sits close enough to make you feel part of the match.
Curva Sud
The Curva Sud, dedicated to the late ultra Michael Groppello, is the club's own supporters' section, the area where Venezia's most loyal fans gather behind the goal for the full 90 minutes. You will find the best atmosphere in the stadium here, with a constant wall of noise, black, orange and green flags, and chanting from no fewer than six different ultras groups when Venezia play at home. It can be a bit of stressful for someone who has never experienced an Italian curva before, all that noise so close by, but if you want to feel what Venezia really means to the lagoon city, you will have a very special experience in the Curva Sud.
Curva Nord
On the opposite side of the pitch sits the Curva Nord, traditionally reserved for away supporters during Venezia home matches. Supporters travelling for a Venezia match at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo are housed here, in a clearly separated section with its own access. The view from this end is good, with a clear line of sight across the whole pitch and towards the Curva Sud in the distance. Not only the distance, also the viewing angle from this section is a little sharper than from the side stands, so it helps to bring good binoculars if you want to follow every detail.
Tribuna Centrale
The Tribuna Centrale runs along one of the long sides of the pitch, very close to the grass with a direct view of the halfway line. From here you get one of the best viewing angles in the whole stadium, very close to the action and to the substitutes' benches. Tickets here are among the most sought-after in the ground, precisely because the closeness to the pitch is so exceptional in such a compact, historic build.
Tribuna Laterale
Directly opposite the Tribuna Centrale sits the Tribuna Laterale, an area offering a good overall view of the whole pitch, a little calmer than the two ends. From here you follow the match at a relaxed pace without the crush, with a clear view of both goals. Also the crowd here tends to be more mixed, with many families and first-time visitors looking for a relaxed afternoon in the Venice lagoon.
Which Stand Should You Choose?
We have created this table so you can compare the four sections of the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo at a glance. Look at what matters most to you, and you will find the right section.
| Priority | Best Stand | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best atmosphere | Curva Sud | Venezia's own section, six ultras groups, flags and chants for the full 90 minutes |
| Best view | Tribuna Centrale | Direct view of the halfway line, very close to the pitch and substitutes' benches |
| First-time visitors | Tribuna Laterale | Good overall view, calmer atmosphere, easy access and exit |
| Families with children | Tribuna Laterale | Calmer than the two ends, comfortable seating, mixed crowd |
| Small budget | Curva Nord (as a neutral zone during home matches, if available) | Cheaper than the main stands, with a full view of the pitch |
| Singing and standing | Curva Sud | Expect to stand, sing and join the ultras for the full 90 minutes |
| Away supporters | Curva Nord (away section) | Separate entrance, full view of the pitch and of the Curva Sud in the distance |
| Premium comfort | Tribuna Centrale | Best stadium service, closest seats to the pitch |

Club History
Venezia FC was founded on 14 December 1907 in Venice, when around twenty enthusiasts merged the football sections of two Venetian sports clubs, Società Ginnastica Marziale and Costantino Reyer. The first president was Davide Fano, and the club's very first match was played on 22 December 1907 against Vicenza, ending 1-1. Not only its old age, also its multiple refoundings due to insolvency, in 2005, 2009 and 2015, still shape the club's eventful history today.
The club's current form, "Venezia FC", was born in 2015 after the insolvency, led by American investor Joe Tacopina. During the 2009 refounding, the then-mayor Massimo Cacciari had even personally involved himself alongside the club. The greatest success in the club's history remains the 1940-41 Coppa Italia win, when Venezia first drew 3-3 in Rome in the final against AS Roma, before winning 1-0 at home, on a decisive goal from Ezio Loik. The best league finish in the club's history came a year later, in 1941-42, with 3rd place, led by the legendary attacking duo of Valentino Mazzola and Ezio Loik. Both were sold to Torino in 1942, where they won several championships with the legendary "Grande Torino", before Mazzola died in 1949 in the tragic Superga air disaster.
The 2025-26 season, under head coach Giovanni Stroppa, for whom this was already the fourth promotion of his coaching career, ended with the Serie B title: 1st place, 82 points from 38 matches, a club record for points. Promotion was mathematically secured a matchday before the end of the season, on 1 May 2026, with a 2-2 away draw at Spezia Calcio, having led 2-0, the draw was still enough for promotion. The captain throughout the title-winning season was Austrian centre-back Michael Svoboda, who later extended his contract until 2029. After promotion, American midfielder Gianluca Busio, one of the squad's key players since his club-record transfer in 2021 for around €5.7 million, received the captain's armband. This marks the club's third return to Serie A since its 2015 refounding, following two immediate relegations in 2021-22 and 2024-25, Venezia is now taking its third shot.
Venezia and the City of Venice
Venice is one of the most famous cities in the world, and Venezia FC is the lagoon city's only major football club, a club that represents not just a district, but the whole symbol of Venice. Not only football itself, also the stadium's unique island location shapes every matchday in a way that exists in no other Serie A city. The club's colours, originally black and green since 1908, were joined by orange after the merger with A.C. Mestre in 1987, and since then the club has carried the nickname "Arancioneroverdi". The club crest shows a golden winged lion, the Lion of Venice, a symbol of the whole province, often mistakenly identified as a griffin. Other club nicknames include "I Leoni Alati" (the winged lions) and "I Lagunari" (the people of the lagoon).
On matchdays, the narrow streets around Sant'Elena fill with supporters dressed in black, orange and green, and many away supporters combine the stadium visit with a walk along the Riva degli Schiavoni and past Piazza San Marco. Also the neighbouring Venice Biennale site makes a matchday at the Penzo an unusual experience, one that goes well beyond football itself. If you want to spend a relaxed afternoon before the match, many supporters combine the stadium visit with a stroll through the historic centre.
Famous Players
The club's record appearance maker is Gianni Grossi, with 269 matches played between 1960 and 1969, and the all-time top scorer is Francesco Pernigo, with 70 goals between 1938 and 1947, including 45 in Serie A; he also scored the decisive promotion-clinching goal in Bergamo against Atalanta in 1939. Also Filippo Maniero, the club's second-highest scorer with 54 goals, and Uruguayan Álvaro Recoba, loaned from Inter Milan in 1999 and who scored and assisted against his own parent club in the decisive 3-1 survival win in 1998-99, rank among the great names in the club's history. Not only these legends, also more recent players such as Finnish forward Joel Pohjanpalo, a former Bayer Leverkusen player, the club's fifth-highest scorer with 48 goals between 2022 and 2025 and Serie B top scorer in 2023-24 with 22 goals, as well as current captain Gianluca Busio, have secured themselves a place in the club's history.
Venezia Honours and Titles
Venezia have so far won one Coppa Italia, in the 1940-41 season with the final win over AS Roma, still the greatest success in the club's history today. Added to that is a Coppa Italia Lega Pro title, roughly the Serie C equivalent of the cup, in the 2016-17 season. On the European stage, Venezia have never yet played, a situation the club hopes to change in the long term with its renewed return to Serie A. Not only the titles themselves, also the club's best-ever league finish, 3rd place in 1941-42, show what the lagoon city was once capable of in Italian football and hopes to be capable of again after two immediate relegations. Affordable and premium tickets for Venezia, for Serie A and Coppa Italia, are now available on Livefootballtickets.com.

Venezia Rivalries
Main Rivalry
The North-East Derby against Padova
The most intense rivalry in Venezia's world is the clash with Calcio Padova, often simply called, regionally, the North-East derby. Despite its relatively recent history, it ranks among the fiercest rivalries in the region, with repeated clashes between ultras groups off the pitch as well. Not only the sporting competition, also Padova's historic opposition to the 1987 merger between Venezia and Mestre still adds to the particular animosity of this fixture today. It can be a bit of stressful for an outsider to fully understand this rivalry, given how deep the emotions run on both sides of Veneto.
Since Padova and Venezia have rarely played in the same division in recent years, direct Serie A meetings do not currently occur, but the derby continues to live on with great passion whenever the chance arises, whether in the Coppa Italia or the lower divisions. Also outside Veneto, this rivalry is recognised as one of the most intense regional rivalries in northern Italy. You will hear supporters from both sides talk for years about past editions of this fixture.
Other Rivalries
Besides the clash with Padova, Venezia also traditionally holds regional rivalries with other Veneto clubs, first and foremost Hellas Verona and Vicenza. These fixtures are mostly known as classic regional derbies, shaped by geographic closeness and the region's shared history. Even though there is less written about these fixtures than about the North-East derby against Padova, they remain an integral part of Venezia supporters' identity. Not only the result on the pitch, also regional pride still plays an important role in these matches.
