About this venue
Giovanni Zini is more than a stadium—it’s Cremona’s football landmark with a proud, long-running matchday tradition. Opened in 1919, it keeps a classic Italian layout with stands close to the pitch and an all-seater capacity of around 16,000, which makes the atmosphere feel tight, loud, and intensely focused on the action.
Inside, the experience is built around proximity: sightlines are strong across the sectors, and the compact bowl helps the crowd noise carry. On event days you’ll find the essentials—food and drink kiosks, clearly separated sections, and a straightforward flow to your gate—ideal when the turnstiles get busy.
You’ll find the stadium at Via Persico, 19, Cremona, Italy. If you’re arriving by car, there’s organised parking in the stadium area, and the final approach along Via Persico brings you right to the entrances.

About the city
Cremona, an elegant city in Lombardy on the banks of the Po River, is known not only for its world-famous tradition of violin making, but also as an attractive destination for concerts and sporting events. The city blends the refined mood of its historic center with a lively event scene, making it an ideal choice for visitors who want more than just a night out.
A major advantage of Cremona is how practical it is to get around: local and suburban mobility largely relies on bus routes operated by Arriva Italia, making it easy to reach the main arenas and stadiums and to move between the city center and key areas. For rail arrivals, Stazione di Cremona is the main hub with regional connections, while flyers most often use Milano Linate or Orio al Serio (Bergamo), with added flexibility via Milano Malpensa. The mix of public transport, taxis, and well-organized road links keeps planning straightforward and stress-free.
If you have time before or after the event, Cremona rewards you with a stroll through its photogenic old town: Piazza del Comune, framed by the cathedral and the iconic Torrazzo, is a natural starting point, and arcaded streets and quiet squares lead to museums, galleries, and welcoming cafés. Culture lovers often stop by the Museo del Violino, while a walk along the Po River is a great way to experience the city at a calmer pace.
For a complete experience, Cremona also offers very convenient “stay logistics”: from boutique hotels in the center to quieter options nearby, paired with varied dining that leans on local flavors and tradition. Add the city’s pleasant atmosphere and sense of order, and you get a place where a ticketed event can easily turn into a full mini getaway.
