Full description

Central Tennis Stadium, the Campo Centrale within the Foro Italico complex, hosts the Internazionali BNL d'Italia, one of the most prestigious clay-court tournaments outside the Grand Slams. Statues and classical architecture surround the court, giving it a distinctive setting compared with most modern tennis venues.

Some reviewers have raised complaints about premium hospitality areas and pricing during the tournament, suggesting the experience can vary sharply depending on ticket category. Outside tournament dates, the stadium sits largely dormant as part of the wider Foro Italico grounds.

Cool but vip places get very special treatment for sky high prices :( then vips dont come to the games and those seats are empty. Makes no sense
