History

Allianz sponsorship

All started when, in 2015, Allianz became new top sponsor of the Italian basketball team Pallacanestro Trieste, based in PalaTrieste.[6]

In 2017, the German insurance company sponsored a new parquet basketball court,[7] and later in 2018, a new scoreboard called Allianz Wall was installed in the Trieste arena.[8]

In 2018 Allianz signed a deal to become new title sponsor of the arena, so PalaTrieste officially became Allianz Dome until 2023.[9]
