The Magna Grecia Sports Centre is a particularly significant urban and sports regeneration project<\/b>, which radically transforms an existing facility into a modern sports centre of excellence.<\/p>\n

Incide Engineering has been awarded the contract for Engineering and Architectural Services for the project to upgrade and redevelop the tennis sports centre<\/b>, ahead of the 20th edition of the 2026 Mediterranean Games<\/a>: a major international event aimed at re-establishing Taranto as a centre of sporting excellence, building on its historic tradition in this field.<\/p>\n

The design consortium awarded the contract is a temporary joint venture (RTP) comprising three leading firms<\/b> in the sports infrastructure sector: the lead partner is the Paolo Pettene & Partners STP Architectural Practice, which is responsible for the architecture; Bolina Ingegneria is responsible for the structural engineering; and Incide Engineering is responsible for the mechanical and electrical engineering design<\/b>, with Engineer Gianluca Vallerini acting as Project Manager.<\/p>\n

On 21 August 2026, the 20th Mediterranean Games got underway, with President Mattarella officially opening the event. Over the course of two weeks, various sports venues hosted 26 nations, 3,803 athletes and 33 sports<\/strong>, making it one of the largest international events ever held in Puglia.
\nThe commitment of the entire RTP and the organisations involved was focused not only on these Mediterranean Games, but also on the \u2018Games of everyday life\u2019 and on the future of Taranto.<\/p>\n

The Magna Grecia Sports Centre (IT)<\/h2>\n

More than just a competitive sports facility, the new centre has been designed to deliver value to the local community, transforming a derelict area into a hub for socialising and personal development for young people and families<\/b>, destined to endure well beyond the end of the Olympic Games. The architectural heart<\/b> of the complex reinterprets the principles of Italian Rationalism in a contemporary key, harmoniously integrating spaces for athletes with areas dedicated to the public.<\/p>\n

Located in the Italia-Montegranaro district, the complex spans an entire city block. The project, valued at over 7 million euros<\/b>, involves the construction of 8 ITF-approved resin tennis courts<\/b>, including a centre court with stands capable of accommodating up to 1,500 spectators. The project is completed by a modern clubhouse, state-of-the-art changing rooms, a children\u2019s play area and green spaces featuring relaxation trails and a themed spray park.<\/p>\n

The sustainable innovation project led by Incide Engineering<\/h2>\n

Incide Engineering<\/b> was responsible for the detailed design of the mechanical and electrical systems<\/b> at RTP, and worked to ensure that, once the international event has concluded, the facility can be managed with minimised operating costs<\/b>, offering the public modern spaces for sport and catering.<\/p>\n

The excellence of the work carried out is reflected in highly efficient technological solutions<\/b>: here they are in detail.<\/p>\n
