Freccia Rossa comprises 119 shops, a 3,300 m2 PAM supermarket and 2,500 parking spaces. The mall features a strong leisure offer by including a Quilleri multiplex cinema, a Family Entertainment Centre, and a Fitness Virgin Active centre. The architecture as well as the name of the new shopping centre celebrate the popular car race, Mille Miglia, hosted in the city of Brescia.
'Our architectural and design approach aims for the complete integration of the shopping centre into the surrounding area. With Freccia Rossa we want to revive the historical and cultural tradition of the city of Brescia and its famous event Mille Miglia,' said José Quintela, responsible for Architecture and Conceptual Development at Sonae Sierra.
Last December, the shopping centre received the ISO 14001 environmental certification for the management of the construction phase.
