Ancona’s PalaCasali opened a new gym and warm-up area for the Italian junior and under-23 indoor championships. The 460-square-metre extension included a blue athletics surface and a thirty-metre straight, increasing space available to athletes during busy meetings.

The project enclosed a terrace on the building’s northern side using government funding channelled through Sport e Salute. FIDAL Marche president Fabio Romagnoli said the space also had heating, cooling and natural light, making it suitable for training and educational activities.

The federation described potential public use beyond championship warm-ups. Work remained underway on a separate 700-square-metre southern block intended for a specialist high-jump facility, with completion expected before the beginning of summer.
