Napoli Basket, the new project presented to the Municipality
The statement from engineer Vito Grassi, shareholder of Napoli Basket:
“The project presented for the 10/14,000 seat Palaeventi is the contribution that SS Napoli Basket Srl, together with Pasquale Increase for Italstage Srl, offer to the city in order to be able to apply for major international sporting events. Basketball first and foremost obviously, but also Tennis, Volleyball, Futsal, and every other sport possible at an indoor level. A real contribution of planning and investment to increasingly raise the offering of a territory that can aim to be a world leader in terms of attractiveness and sense of hospitality. A contribution that starts from basketball, extends to other sporting events and will be increasingly implemented in a social action plan for the benefit of all neighborhoods. A project and a concrete contribution from those who love this area, believe in it and invest in it daily, feel an active part of the change and the ambition for continuous growth”.
Pasquale Increase of Italstage:
“We want to bring to this project thirty years of experience developed in the sector of setting up large events, which has seen us work with some of the greatest artists and event organizers in the world. We believe that the city of Naples deserves an important place in the international programming of musical events and we estimate that with the new building we will be able to have around one million visitors per year, generating an important direct and indirect economic impact on the city”.
