Stadio Comunale Armando Picchi is the principal football venue in Livorno and one of Tuscany’s historically significant sports facilities. Built during the pre-war expansion of Italian sporting infrastructure, the stadium continues to serve as a key home ground for both Pro Livorno and US Livorno, two clubs with deep roots in the region’s football culture. The venue is also used for athletics, making it an important multi-sport asset for the local community.
The construction of the stadium began in 1933 as part of a broader municipal development initiative aimed at strengthening public sports facilities across Livorno. Completed in 1935, the stadium officially opened with a football match, setting the tone for decades of competitive play.
The original design featured an athletics track surrounding the pitch, a characteristic that has remained part of the venue’s identity and allowed it to accommodate track-and-field events in addition to football.
The stadium is named after Armando Picchi, one of Livorno’s most celebrated sporting figures. Born in the city, Picchi went on to become a prominent defender and captain of FC Internazionale Milano during the legendary “Grande Inter” era of the 1960s.
Key highlights of his legacy include:
Representing the national football team of the Italian Republic in multiple international matches
Winning the European Championship for football clubs (the European Cup, now UEFA Champions League) twice with Inter
Serving as both player and later manager, significantly influencing Italian football culture
Naming the venue after Picchi strengthened its identity as a symbol of Livorno’s sporting tradition and pride.
For decades, Stadio Comunale Armando Picchi has hosted:
Domestic league matches involving Pro Livorno and US Livorno
Key fixtures during periods when US Livorno competed in Serie A and Serie B
Regional athletics competitions
Community sporting programs and municipal athletic events
While the stadium has not hosted major international tournaments, it remains a respected regional venue with continuous professional use.
Over the years, several upgrades have been implemented to maintain regulatory compliance and support modern match-day operations:
Reinforced main stands and improved seating alignment
Updates to safety exits and circulation routes
Rehabilitation of exterior facades and public areas
Upgraded turf system with improved drainage
Renovated changing rooms, medical facilities, and team areas
Enhanced press and media infrastructure to support broadcast requirements
Periodic resurfacing of the track
Compliance updates to allow regional athletic competitions
These renovation cycles allow the stadium to function as a safe and compliant venue while preserving its historical character.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
