The Campo dei Frati of Chiavari: the sporting and social heart of the city.
In the heart of Chiavari, hidden between the streets of the center and the silhouette of the Sanctuary of Sant’Antonio, lies a place that for over half a century has represented much more than a simple soccer field: the Campo dei Frati.
Located at Via Trieste 76, the Campo dei Frati is a sports facility dedicated to five-a-side and seven-a-side soccer, frequented daily by young people, adults, and enthusiasts of all ages. But what makes it truly special is its role as a social gathering point, where sport becomes an opportunity for meeting, growth, and collective memory.
For over 50 years, the field has been cared for with love and dedication by Carmelo Entuli, known to all simply as Vinicio. A historic and beloved figure, Vinicio has seen generations of young people pass through, accompanying them with discretion and affection. His passing in 2023 left a deep void, but also a legacy of values, smiles, and games played until the last moment of daylight.
Campo dei Frati is open daily from 10:00 am to 11:30 pm, and courts can be booked for games with friends, amateur tournaments, or sporting events. The facility is simple yet functional, immersed in an urban setting that enhances its authentic and popular character.
