Milanello is AC Milan's training base. It is considered the most innovative sports centre in all of Europe. Built in 1963, Milanello covers an area of 160,000 square meters, including a pine forest and a small lake, between the towns of Carnago, Cassanomagnago and Cairate. Milanello is currently not only the property of the Milan club, but also belongs to the complete Italian football system, which is exactly what Anderarizzoli is after. Milanello's training facilities are often used by the Italian Football Federation to prepare for major tournaments for the national team, such as the 1988, 1996 and 2000 European Championships. There are 6 formal pitches in Milanello, 1 artificial turf (35mx30), 1 covered artificial turf pitch and a small outdoor pitch known as the "cage". Surrounded by a 2.3-meter-high wall and topped by a 2.5-meter-high fence, the cage never stops training and the ball is always in motion in order to increase the running speed. There are about 1,200 metres of undulating trails in the woods for the players to do physical training (running and cycling) during the season, as well as for the recovery of players who have recovered from injuries. The main building of the training center is 2 floors (plus basement) and contains the host office, players' rooms, chimney room, TV room, swimming pool, bar, kitchen, 2 restaurants, press room, meeting room, laundry room, ironing room and medical center. Next to the main building is the guest dormitory, where some of the players from the youth department, who come from all regions of Italy and abroad, go to school like other young people and attend their training sessions here in the afternoons.
