Palermo’s New Stadium: The Rosanero Foundations and the Future of Dining Spaces.
Introduction
The Renzo Barbera Stadium represents a timeless symbol for Palermo fans and the Rosanero sporting faith. With a capacity of 36,215, it has been the stage for unforgettable moments, not only for local fans but also for international soccer. Its history is intertwined with iconic events, such as the matches of the 1990 World Cup in Italy, when the then Stadio della Favorita was expanded to host high-level matches, including those in group F with Holland, Egypt and Northern Ireland. To enable these works, Palermo played its official matches in Trapani between 1988 and 1990, demonstrating the strong bond between the city and its stadium.
Today, this connection is renewed with the design of the new stadium, a work that is intended not only to be a venue for sporting events, but a modern, multifunctional community center. In this context, dining spaces take on a crucial role, becoming the beating heart of hospitality and entertainment for fans and visitors.


The challenge
Imagining the Social Heart of the Stadium
The goal was to design restaurant spaces that were not only functional, but embodied the welcoming and innovative spirit of the city of Palermo. It was critical to provide stakeholders with a clear vision of how the restaurants, bars, and lounge areas would look and function, creating a balance between design, operational efficiency, and visitor comfort.
The solution
Realism and Immersion with 3D Rendering
Using 3D rendering technology, the dining spaces of the new stadium were recreated in every detail, from the cladding materials to the ambient lighting. With the use of Unreal Engine, it was possible to virtually explore the environments, simulating customer paths, movement flows and atmospheres that reflected the desired concept. This previsualization allowed for:
- Optimize Design: Identify practical improvements before construction.
- Simulate Atmospheres: Test different lighting configurations and layouts.
- Facilitating Decision Making: Providing a clear vision to investors and planners.

The Value Added for Stakeholders
The 3D rendering was not only an aesthetic support, but a strategic tool to predict and solve potential critical issues, optimizing spaces that must accommodate thousands of people in a smooth and pleasant way. It enabled immediate visual communication between all involved, eliminating uncertainties and ensuring a final result that lived up to expectations.
