The Sferisterio is an open-air stadium or sphaeristerium in Macerata, Italy. An ancient Italian national sport or pallone col bracciale was the most popular sport in Italy for almost five centuries. This game dated back to the 15th century. The people of Macerata decided that they needed somewhere large to play and watch it; a place that could also be used for public spectacles such as circuses and even bull fights. One hundred citizens raised the money themselves, and got Ireneo Aleandri to design and build it in 1823. The design involved the destruction and rebuilding of some of the historic city walls next to the Porta Mercato gate. More information...
