Key facts

• Ordinance → n. 418 of 13 October 2026

From 19 October at 6.30am, the area of Via Vittorio Veneto in Como will be affected by temporary changes to traffic in view of two Como 1907 matches at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium. The provisions will remain in force until midnight on Saturday 24 October, with the possibility of continuing beyond that deadline if the operations related to the meetings make it necessary.

The calendar includes the UEFA Champions League match against Manchester United, set for Wednesday 21 October at 6.45pm, and the Serie A match against Sassuolo, scheduled for Saturday 24 October at 3pm. After the defeat in the Champions League, Como 1907 must therefore face a tight sequence of events, while the city prepares the stands in the stadium area.

The section affected by the prohibitions

The parking ban will come into effect on both sides of Via Vittorio Veneto, from Largo Borgonovo to the pedestrian crossing near electricity pole number 6921. The measure provides for forced removal and also applies to vehicles with a permit for people with disabilities. The space will be used for the technical means of television filming and to install mobile barriers intended to protect the equipment.

A second ban will concern five parking spaces between electricity poles number 6925 and 6926. At that point the area must remain free to allow vehicle access to the service road.

In the same time interval, transit will be prohibited in the stretch between Largo Borgonovo and the pedestrian crossing near pole 6921. Traffic will be directed on the service road of Via Vittorio Veneto towards Via Puecher. The local police indicate the manhole and priority to pedestrians, inviting them to follow the temporary signs. Further measures are also planned for other areas and streets of the stadium, which will be published later.

Operational details

For cross-border commuters who need to reach the stadium area for a work trip or for an appointment, the notice should be read as a combination of different prohibitions. The provision is not limited to removing some parking spaces: it closes a section of Via Vittorio Veneto to traffic and imposes specific regulations on the service road as well. The difference is practical: leaving the car and crossing the area are two operations subject to separate rules.

Parking and transit are not the same thing

| Situation | Rule indicated | | Stop in the wide stretch Borgonovo-palo 6921 | Ban on both sides, with forced removal | | Five places between posts 6925 and 6926 | Free area for access to the service road | | Transit in the indicated section | Vehicle ban | | Contravial towards via Puecher | Manhole and priority for pedestrians |

For those who have to organize a passage in the area, the first consequence is that it is not advisable to plan the journey counting on stopping along the main stretch. The ban covers both sides and the forced removal also eliminates the possibility of a temporary stop. The notice also explicitly includes vehicles marked for people with disabilities.

The second consequence concerns the continuation of the journey. The closed section cannot be traveled by vehicles; the indicated deviation leads to the service road in the direction of via Puecher. The passage, however, is not described as an ordinary lane: the local police ask you to proceed at walking pace and always give priority to pedestrians. For a cross-border worker who finds himself passing through that area, compliance with these conditions becomes an integral part of the deviation.

The time window includes both the day of the match against Manchester United and that of the match against Sassuolo. Furthermore, the limitations may remain operational beyond midnight on October 24th if organizational activities are not concluded. Anyone planning a trip must therefore consider the entire indicated period and any signage updates. In fact, the source recalls the possibility of other measures in further areas and streets of the stadium.

Key points

Whoever needs to move in the area can transform the warning into a simple operational sequence. The steps concern date, road section, stop, detour and signs.

Check before leaving

1. Check the period. The measures start at 6.30am on October 19th and are scheduled until midnight on October 24th. This is the window to consider before entering the area of ​​via Vittorio Veneto.

2. Identify the stretch. The main parking ban affects both sides of the segment that starts from Largo Borgonovo and arrives at the pedestrian crossing located near electricity pole number 6921. The five stalls between poles 6925 and 6926 have separate regulations and must remain free.

3. Do not leave the vehicle in prohibited areas. Forced removal accompanies the ban and also concerns vehicles with a badge for people with disabilities. The notice therefore expressly includes these vehicles among those affected by the measure.

4. Follow the planned detour. In the section where transit is prohibited, traffic is directed onto the service road of via Vittorio Veneto towards via Puecher. On the service road you will have to advance at walking pace, always giving priority to pedestrians.

5. Read the signs on site. The local police invite you to pay attention to the temporary signs, especially on the days of the two matches. Further measures have also been announced for other areas and streets of the stadium, while the limitations already foreseen may continue if it is necessary to complete the operations related to the matches.

For the border reader, the final check is concrete: check whether the movement crosses the indicated stretch, exclude parking in the affected areas and prepare to follow the service road. The notice describes a procedure focused on circulation and compliance with temporary directions.

The area will be used for the technical means of television broadcasts and for the mobile barriers necessary to protect the equipment. The signs therefore remain the reference during the set-up and during the competitions. If the operations are not completed by the deadline, the bans may continue for the required time.
