Palazzetto dello Sport

The venue was constructed along with the 11,500-seat Palazzo dello Sport, for the 1960 Summer Olympics. It was inaugurated on October 1, 1957 Placed between the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone and the Maxxi - Museo Nazionale delle Arti del XXI secolo, the PalaTiziano is relatively close to the Olympic Stadium. It was designed by architect Annibale Vitellozzi. Vitellozzi came up with the design in the year prior. Its reinforced thin-shell concrete dome was engineered by Pier Luigi Nervi under the direction of Engineer Giacomo Maccagno. Since then it has also been used for volleyball matches and other events such as concerts and shows. The club moved back to the PalaLottomatica in 2018 as the renovation of PalaTiziano was approaching. ==Design==

The facility incorporates a first-aid center, four groups of dressing rooms, along with an officials dressing room, a medical sports centre, a management office, a press room with 12 telephone booths, two store rooms, and basement-located heating and air-conditioning equipment. Architect Bruno Zevi remarked that it resembles the Pantheon in some aspects, having many similar features, specifically the spherical shape. == Restoration ==

After being closed for 5 years, the Palazzetto Dello Sport underwent a renovation in 2018, during the administration of Mayor Virginia Raggi and was finished under incumbent Robert Gualtieri. Initially the city was given a €3 million renovation contract and until March 2022 to complete renovations, but they soon realized it would not be enough. An additional €2 million was raised to finish the project. It was completed in December of 2023. Renovations included adding 2,500 seats which brought the total seating up to 3,500. ==See also==
