The Stadio Renato Curi is a football stadium in the Italian city of Perugia.

History
The stadium, designed by Luigi Corradi, was built in 1974 in only three months time in Pian di Massiano outside the old center of Perugia. The use of Stadio Santa Giuliana was considered too small after AC Perugia was promoted to the top tier of Italian soccer, the Serie A. Until renaming of Stadio Renato Curi in 1977 it was named Stadio Pian di Massiano.
