Il Giorno: UNESCO World Heritage bid could disrupt Milan’s San Donato plan – the details | OneFootball

There may be a further obstacle for AC Milan to overcome in pursuit of a new stadium in San Donato and it involves a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As Il Giorno (via PianetaMilan) reports, the idea of ​​proposing the village of Chiaravalle as a UNESCO site dates back to ten years ago, when the project for the new Milan stadium was not yet in sight. However, to date, no one has made concrete progress towards making it official.

With the stadium project becoming more serious, naturally a step forward has been taken in the UNESCO bid, which could put the Rossoneri’s plans to build a new stadium in San Donato in further difficulty.

In fact, the boundaries of the area to be considered a UNESCO heritage site could approach or even include the area of ​​the Milan stadium. The final project put forward for the candidacy will reveal the precise boundaries of the site.

To achieve the goal of making Chiaravalle a UNESCO site, it could take seven to eight years and the final decision will be made by a committee based in Paris. It is not likely that Milan would wait that long, and thus the idea of renovating San Siro may gain even more steam.
