Designed in the mid-1970s and built in the second half of the 1980s, [2] the stadium remained unfinished for about thirty years. The stadium was completed between 2015 and 2017 on the initiative of local football team Frosinone Calcio, who won a lease for the stadium from the local council for 90 years, [3] in order to replace the old municipal stadium.

With a capacity of 16,227, [1] [4] [5] it is the largest stadium found in the province, and the third in Lazio. [6]

It is dedicated to the memory of Benito Stirpe, [7] entrepreneur and chairman of Frosinone Calcio in the 1960s, and father of Maurizio, his successor at the helm of the club. [8] [9]

The total cost of the stadium was approximately €20 million, [10] of which approximately €15 million went to the 2015–2017 construction completion. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ciociaria</span>

Ciociaria is the name by which, starting from the modern era, some impoverished territories southeast of Rome were called at a popular level, without defined geographical limits. Starting from the Fascist period and the creation of the province of Frosinone, the same name was arbitrarily imposed by the local fascist organizations and then misused by the local press, by promotional associations and folkloristic events as a synonym for Frosinone and all the popular traditions of its territory. The local dialect, in old literature referred to as campanino, although they are mere local variants of Central-Italian Latian is therefore improperly indicated as "ciociaro dialect", although the linguistic and scientific definition is Central-Northern Latian. In more recent times, the term Campagna Romana, or Roman Campagna, a favorite subject of countless painters from all over Europe, has referred to the adjoining region to the north of Ciociaria, but part of the Province of Rome.
