History

Allianz sponsorship

All started when, in 2015, Allianz became new top sponsor of the Italian basketball team Pallacanestro Trieste, based in PalaTrieste.^[5]

In 2017, the German insurance company sponsored a new parquet basketball court,^[6] and later in 2018, a new scoreboard called Allianz Wall was installed in the Trieste arena.^[7]

In 2018 Allianz signed a deal to become new title sponsor of the arena, so PalaTrieste officially became Allianz Dome until 2023.^[8]
