About this venue
NOVA Arena is a modern multi-purpose indoor venue distinguished by a mirrored façade that reflects the surrounding landscape and gives the building a striking contemporary identity. With a capacity of up to 5,000 spectators across two seating tiers, it is designed to host basketball games, concerts, live shows and corporate events.
Inside, a continuous concourse connects the entrances, seating areas and visitor facilities. Purpose-designed acoustics, modern technical systems and clear sightlines contribute to an engaging experience during both sporting and entertainment events, while restaurants and recreational facilities elsewhere in the complex broaden the visitor offering.
The arena is located at Strada Comunale Bosco snc, Tortona, Italy. Ground-level entrances provide direct access from the surrounding outdoor area, while three parking zones with approximately 1,100 spaces allow visitors to reach the venue on foot within a short distance. Dedicated shuttle services from central Tortona may operate for selected events; broader information about transport around the city is provided further down the page.
About the city
Tortona, a historic city in southeastern Piedmont, combines the quieter pace of a smaller Italian city with a good selection of sporting, cultural and musical events. Thanks to its position between Milan, Genoa and Turin, the city is a practical destination for visitors attending a concert, match, performance or festival. Its compact centre makes it easy to move between event venues, restaurants, cafés and accommodation, allowing a visit to become an enjoyable weekend stay. Tickets for events in Tortona therefore often attract audiences who want to combine a programme at an arena or stadium with an authentic Piedmont experience.
The main transport hub is Tortona railway station, connected with important railway centres such as Milano Centrale, Genova Brignole and Alessandria. Local travel is facilitated by the Servizio di Trasporto Pubblico Urbano di Tortona, the city bus network organised by the municipality in cooperation with Agenzia della Mobilità Piemontese and the operator Bus Company; its recognisable routes include the Linea Blu Urbana Tortona. The A7 and A21 motorway corridors are important for visitors arriving by car, connecting Tortona with the larger cities of northwestern Italy. International visitors can plan their journey through Genova Cristoforo Colombo, Milano Linate, Milano Malpensa or Torino Airport, before continuing by train, bus or car towards the city and its local arenas and sports facilities.
Before or after an event, it is worth walking through the historic centre, particularly across Piazza del Duomo and along Via Emilia, where shops, arcades and local venues can be found. The centre is distinguished by the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e San Lorenzo, while Parco del Castello offers greenery and views above the city. Art enthusiasts can visit the Pinacoteca Il Divisionismo, one of Tortona’s most interesting cultural addresses. A stay can be completed by sampling local cuisine and wines from the Colli Tortonesi, adding further tourist value to a concert or sporting-event visit.
