Stadio Mario Rigamonti is a soccer stadium located in Brescia, Italy. It is currently the home of Brescia Calcio.
It is dedicated to Mario Rigamonti, a defender of the Grande Torino, born in Brescia, who died in the Superga air disaster in May 1949.
Brescia Calcio, commonly referred to as Brescia, is an Italian football club based in Brescia, Lombardy.
Their best finish in Serie A came in the 2000–01 season when they placed eighth.
At the beginning of the 21st century, led by the 1993 Ballon d'Or winner Roberto Baggio, the club also qualified for the Intertoto Cup twice, reaching the final in 2001 but being defeated on away goals by Paris Saint-Germain.
The team's colours are blue and white.
They have a long-standing rivalry with Atalanta from nearby Bergamo.
The team was founded in 1911 as Brescia Football Club, joining the Terza Categoria division the same year.
In 1913, Brescia was promoted to First Division for the first time, and from 1929 they played in Serie A for six of the seven following seasons.
Brescia won the Anglo-Italian Cup in 1994, the biggest achievement in their history to date.
The first Brescia kit in 1911 was blue (the national colour) with a thick white vertical stripe down the middle, a design which has returned for the centenary season in 2011.
The first ground at which football was played in Brescia was Campo Fiera, where the English workers at the Tempini plant played on their breaks.
In 1911, in the wake of enthusiasm following the foundation of the new club, it is thought a fenced ground was built shortly after on Via Milano.
In 1920 came the opening of the new ground on Via Cesare Lombroso, Brescia, which was used by the team until 1923.
From 1923 until 1959, the team had moved into a more modern and larger facility located at Porta Venezia (then Via Naviglio), built for the town's sports club Virtus and called "Stadium".
It was in 1956 that the municipality had the idea to move the club to a stadium more suited to host the matches of the new Serie B.
They began the renovation and construction of the stands to the existing ground at Via Giovanni Novagani.
This was completed in 1959 and Brescia began to play their home games in the new Mario Rigamonti stadium.
Over the years, the stadium has undergone several refurbishments, the most significant of which was in 2007 with the installation of new security measures.
