The stadium was inaugurated on August 20, 1978, with a friendly match between Vado and Genoa that replaced the "Campo delle Traversine" with the "Campo di Leo" which hosted the 1922 Coppa Italia Final.[1]

The Stadio Ferrucchio Chittolina was named in honour of Giuseppe "Ferruccio" Chittolina, the Vado goalkeeper who died on April 7, 1946, as a result of an accident that occurred during a championship match on the Campo delle Traversine (which was later also named after him).[2]
