When the municipality decided to build a pool, called a "piscina" in the Italian language, they chose to name it after Felice Scandone in part due to his fostering of sports culture in the city.

[1] Following decades of use by the general public and in sporting competitions, the complex was renovated in 2019 with spectators and competitors in mind per the guidance of FISU and finished in time for hosting the 2019 Summer Universiade.

[6] The building is approximately 14,000 square meters and parking and green areas are available for workers, users, and visitors.

[3] Two stands for spectators are arranged parallel to the length of the main pool, are composed of white marble, and can seat up to 4,500 individuals.

[5] A permanent outdoor Olympic-size swimming pool is housed in a tensile structure with retractable sheeting, which architecturally is a tunnel in shape.
