  • Location / Florence, Italy
  • Venue / Palasport / Palazzo Dello Sport

The first show by the band in this city since October 1983 on the Pyromania tour.

The first time at this venue.

The venue is located to the north east of the city centre and within a complex of sports venues including a football and baseball stadium.

It was opened in as the Palazzetto dello sport di Firenze and later became Palasport. It was listed by the band at the time as the Sports Palace although that is a incorrect translation.

The venue name was actually written on the show ticket as 'Palazzo Dello Sport'.

The venue was renovated in 2004.

It is currently known as the Nelson Mandela Forum.

A decent audience recording exists from this show. It ends after 'Photograph' but may have cut off 'Travellin' Band' or another song as the final encore.
