The current stadium was built in 1959 ahead of the 1960 Rome Olympics, and has hosted Italy's Six Nations fixtures since they joined in the year 2000.

They celebrated with a 34-20 success over Scotland at the Stadio Flaminio in February that year.

The stadium is the smallest in the championship, and has a cosy atmosphere. It has hosted a wide range of other sporting events, including the World Equestrian Games, and beat off competition from rival venues in Bologna, Genoa and Padova to host Italy's Six Nations matches.

In all, 21 rugby internationals have been played at the Stadio Flaminio and the former ground at the site. The first was a 44-6 drubbing by a France XV way back in 1935. Italy's biggest win there was 22-3 against Romania in October 1992.
