Construction work on the by the architect Raffaello Brizzi planned stadium began in 1933, when Livorno in the Serie A had risen. In 1935, the Stadio Edda Ciano Mussolini was inaugurated with a game between the B selection of Italy and the B selection of Austria. After the Second World War it was called Yankee Stadium because at that time many American soldiers were stationed in Livorno, playing American football and holding their military parades in the stadium.
