A shopping center bigger than anything that has been built so far in Southern Italy. And the inauguration is near.
It certainly cannot be denied that shopping centres can also fall into the category of tourist attractions. Especially when in a place opens what, numbers in hand, is to be considered the largest shopping center in the whole of Southern Italy. A interesting structure with ambitious prospects not only in terms of what visitors can expect but also in terms of employment. And according to the latest information the inauguration is not too far away.
The largest shopping mall, a tribute to the past
When we talk about shopping centers we always think of futuristic structures that try to outdo themselves with each new inauguration. For example, what they are always classified for is the extension in square meters followed by the number and type of shops or structures located inside.
From both points of view this new center, the Maximall Pompeii, aims to become a real attraction as well as a new driving force for the economy of the area. As the name suggests, in fact, the gigantic center has been positioned near the entrance to the famous excavations of Pompeii. The works began around 2020 and are about to be completed.
The covered areas of the shopping center, more than 100, are in fact almost ready and they will be delivered gradually from here until the end of August. The inauguration will then come November 15th. As you can also read on the official website of Maximall Pompeii, the inspiration is precisely that of the ancient architecture of the Pompeii area and everything in fact revolves around the central area which houses a gigantic fountain. The parking lots have been organized in two multi-storey areas accompanied by an external area. But what will be possible to find inside?
Shops, a garden and even a hotel
A shopping centre without shops obviously cannot exist and therefore the largest part of the space, in addition 50,000 square meters covered, will be allocated to the shops. In total, 100,000 people have been created 160 areas of various sizes to which are added about twenty areas intended for restaurants.
Among these we already know that there will be Sorbillo e I want for pizza and also a trattoria with typical Neapolitan dishes as well as a place dedicated to sushi, the grill Caldarelli House, and two other restaurants. As is now customary, the distinction in the floors will also allow you to organize your time inside the shopping center.
These places will in fact find a place in upper floor while on the lower floor there will be space for fast food, with areas equipped with tables not intended for a single chain. Among the most interesting choices, however, is certainly that of inserting inside the Maximall Pompeii not only a theater it’s a cinema with eight rooms but also a inn of the chain Marriott. A 4-star property with 135 rooms. According to the statements most recent from IrgenRe CEO Paolo Negri, Maximall Pompeii could welcome up to 12 million visitors in its first year.
