What happened
On the walk to Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, look for Novocomum at Viale Sinigaglia 1. The Comune di Como says the apartment building was designed by local architect Giuseppe Terragni, begun in 1927 and completed in 1929. Its long, ship-like shape earned it the local nickname *Transatlantico*—the ocean liner.
Como 1907’s own architecture guide places the building at the side of the stadium and calls it an important early example of Italian rationalism. The club’s guide also lists it among the places to notice around the Sinigaglia.
The Como view
A visit to Como can easily become a sequence of famous views. Novocomum makes the approach to the ground feel more local: a bold apartment building, built for residents, in the same compact stretch of city as the stadium. You do not need a tour or a ticket to notice how different it looks from the usual lakeside postcard.

That is a small but useful way to follow Como beyond the ninety minutes. The Sinigaglia is not set apart from the city; the streets and buildings around it are part of arriving for a match. Novocomum’s architecture belongs to a wider history that deserves proper context, but even a brief look tells you this corner of Como has more than one story.
Bottom line
Next time you approach the Sinigaglia, look for the “ocean liner” beside it. Admire Novocomum from the street: the municipality identifies it as a private residence that is not open to visitors.
