As announced in recent days, the Municipality of Bergamo confirms its commitment to the giant screen in the city center on the occasion of the 2023/2024 Frecciarossa Italian Cup final between Atalanta and Juventus. The screen, created thanks to the collaboration of Italian Optic, partner of the event, will be in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, on the avenue and in conjunction with the Torre dei Caduti. Viale Roma will therefore be interrupted a few hours before the event, starting from 2pmwhen the screen setup operations will begin. The pedestrianization of the area and access control will take place around 7pm, with the definitive closure of the area.
Piazza Vittorio Veneto will be divided into sectors. Local police officers will be manning the gates together with a group of stewards. It will still be allowed to enter – after completing the checks – the area marked out for the event and reach places of interest such as offices and shops: these people will then have to leave the area.
Starting from 7pm and for the entire duration of the event it will not be possible to sell, administer or consume alcoholic beverages or drinks in glass containers within the affected area; it will not be possible to possess or explode firecrackers and fireworks and it will be forbidden to possess devices that spray irritating substances. The provision expires the moment the giant screen created by Italian Optic and the Municipality of Bergamo is turned off. The specific ordinance is attached.
The Municipality of Bergamo recommends taking advantage of the parking facilities in the city centeror to park the car in peripheral areas and then reach the event area on foot or by public transport.
