History
The Arena Civica opened on 18 August 1807, and the following years it was used for football activities, mainly by Inter: initially only for the biggest matches and afterwards on a stable basis, from 1930 until December 10, 1958, when the nerazzurri faced Lyon for the Fairs Cup.
During its history it has been used for many kinds of events, including the reconstruction of naval battles; William Frederick Cody (“Buffalo Bill”) twice brought his “Wild West Show” here. Other artists who performed at the Arena include Chicago, Joe Cocker, Stewart Copeland, The Cure, Little Feat, Ben Harper, Lenny Kravitz, Lou Reed, The Manhattan Transfer, Robert Plant, Public Image Limited, Radiohead, Patti Smith, Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Sting and Andy Summers. The Arena is also the site of the Milan Jazzin' Festival. In 2003, it was renamed "Arena Gianni Brera" in honor of the sportswriter and journalist Gianni Brera.
