Located in via del Cavallaccio in Florence, designed by architects Andrea Crociani and Giorgio Scarchilli and inaugurated in 2022, approximately three years after the start of the works, Palazzo Wanny, also known as PalaWanny, is the home of two important realities of the Serie A1 of women’s volleyball: Azzurra Volley, known as Bisonte Firenze, and Scandicci Savino Del Bene. As the name suggests, it was the patron of the Biancocelesti, the entrepreneur Wanny Di Filippo, who was the promoter and financier of the project – supported by the mayor of Florence Dario Nardella, by the president of the Institute for Sports Credit Andrea Abodi, by the councilor to the Sport of the Municipality of Florence Cosimo Guccione and by the President of the Tuscany Region Eugenio Giani – of a facility with approximately 3,500 seats for sporting events and which can reach 5 thousand for other types of activities. The first match played within its walls – the derby between the two aforementioned teams – should have taken place on 26 December 2021, but the positivity to Covid-19 of numerous athletes forced the postponement of the match: therefore, the first official match is between San Casciano and Roma Club on 5 February 2022. In addition to the home matches of the two Tuscan clubs, Palazzo Wanny, from 10 to 16 October of the same year, was the scene of an ATP Tour 250 tennis tournament, while from 26 as of 29 August 2023 it was the venue for some of the round of 16 and quarter finals of the European Women’s Volleyball Championship. The project also provides the possibility of hosting numerous other sports, such as futsal, basketball, handball, gymnastics, judo and karate. But that’s not all, because at the basis of the concept there is also the desire to use it to organize a whole series of events, including concerts, shows, conferences and corporate events.
