Arena Duse – Chioggia – Venice

The Duse Arena is located near the Sottomarina waterfront and has been a meeting and event venue for several years for the City of Chioggia.

Following a period of neglect, the current facility has been unused and has significant problems due to the lack of a roof.
The firm H&A associati has carried out a project with the City of Chioggia under PNRR for the execution of the roofing and subsequent completion, to return to the City a gathering place that will be open for performances and culture.
The covered theater will accommodate about 800 people seated on the bleachers and 470 people in the parterre for a total of 1270. The arena will be able to host concerts and cultural events of various kinds.
The large circular roof is formed by two asymmetrical discs with a metal cover and a lattice structure over the large spans. Such a large structural object becomes the new “sign” that characterizes the Arena and actually creates an original and distinctive land mark for Chioggia’s waterfront.
