The Velodromo Comunale Vigorelli was built in 1935 by Vigorelli Cycles and holds 9,000 people. The stadium, with its Futurist exterior architecture, was burned down during a bombing of Milan by the RAF in World War Il, then reconstructed. Now, serving predominantly as a home for American football games, the stadium did also host several monumental concerts, such as The Beatles in June 1965 and Led Zeppelin in 1971. Rare.
