Stadio Artemio Franchi - Il Rastrello
Stadio Artemio Franchi Information
Team: Siena
Stadium: Stadio Artemio Franchi (also called Il Rastrello)
Address: Via Mille 3 - 53100 Siena
Capacity: 15,700
Directions: Stadio Artemio Franchi is located northwest of the heart of Siena’s historic center, the square called Il Campo, so it’s incredibly easy to reach from the city center - even if the walk from the piazza is uphill. Just head out of Il Campo on Via della Galluzza, turn left on Via della Sapienza and walk until you reach Piazza San Domenico. At the far end of the piazza, you’ll be able to see the stadium. From the train station, you can catch bus numbers 3 or 9 that will take you directly to the stadium.
Driving Directions to Stadio Artemio Franchi: From the Siena train station north of the city center, head southeast on Viale Giuseppe Mazzini after the roundabout. Turn right onto Via Nino Bixio, which will curve to the left and come to a T at Viale Don Giovanni Minzoni. Turn right on Viale Don Giovanni Minzoni. At the first Y after the road curves to the left, you’ll take the left fork onto Via Biagio di Montluc, and then you’ll come to another Y and have to take the left fork again to stay on this road. You’ll need to turn left at the next street in order to stay on this same road as well. This road curves to the right and becomes Viale Armando Diaz, then it curves to the left and becomes Viale Vittorio Veneto. It keeps this name as it curves to the left once, and then you’ll want to turn left onto Viale 25 Aprile. You’ll come to a junction of three roads and turn right onto Viale dei Mille, at which point the stadium will be on your left.
