Italian towns Cuveglio and Comiso upgrade school and sports facilities
The municipality of Cuveglio has begun a 225,000‑euro refurbishment of the sports area adjoining its secondary school. The project will replace the five‑a‑side football pitch with a synthetic‑turf surface, rebuild the athletics track and sand‑pit in acrylic resin, and convert the basketball court into a multi‑purpose venue for basketball and volleyball. Concrete spectator steps will also be renovated, creating a safer and more attractive environment for students and local clubs.
In the Sicilian town of Comiso, works are under way to install a new lighting system at the Pedalino sports field. The upgrade, announced by municipal assessor Giovanni Assenza, aims to address long‑standing vandalism and deterioration that prevented evening use. The lighting will allow training and matches after dark, expanding opportunities for youth and community sports groups, with the next step being the approval of the tribune for safe spectator access.
