The city of Monza is preparing to close the books on a record-breaking edition of the 97th Italian Grand Prix. Today, at City Hall, Mayor Paolo Pilotto presented the figures together with Prefect Enrico Roccatagliata, accompanied by the highest-ranking representatives of the law enforcement agencies, SIAS President Giuseppe Redaelli and ACI Milano Deputy Vice President Enrico Radaelli.

According to data provided by SIAS Autodromo Nazionale Monza, this edition of the Italian Grand Prix recorded a sharp increase in attendance, with 403,666 spectators over the three days. As for staff alone, 25,000 people worked inside the circuit over the four days, including 9,000 working for Formula 1 teams, 4,500 involved in security and 4,300 in hospitality.

The extraordinary mobility plan, now well established for major events and developed in cooperation with Monza Mobilità, worked effectively.

Many fans once again chose to reach the circuit by public transport, thanks to the shuttle bus system and, in particular, the Black Shuttle, which connected Monza railway station with the Park. More than 65,000 passengers used the service over the three days — 3,000 more than in 2025, mainly due to the increase recorded on Friday.

Users also took advantage of expanded shared-mobility services, confirming the popularity of shared e-scooters and bicycles, which recorded 13,850 rentals, compared with 12,183 during last year’s edition.

The eight large car parks — Platinum, Gold, Red, Blue, Orange, Brown, Purple and White — managed by Monza Mobilità, accommodated more than 17,000 vehicles over the three days, as well as 290 buses.

Over the Grand Prix weekend, Trenord operated additional trains between Milan and Monza and between Milan and Biassono, alongside the regular service. It also increased train capacity and deployed Assistance and Security staff at the stations.

A total of 43,500 passengers travelling to the circuit purchased the special tickets offered by Trenord to travel by train to the Grand Prix from Milan and across Lombardy. This represents a 21% increase compared with 2025.

These figures are in addition to the several thousand passengers who travelled to Monza and Biassono Lesmo stations between Friday and Sunday using regular tickets and season passes.

A total of 600 local police officers were deployed, working shifts from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and providing more than 7,000 hours of service on September 4, 5 and 6.

Of these, around 300 officers were deployed by the Monza Local Police Command, which provided the largest contribution. Officers helped ensure the smooth flow of fans leaving the event area, which took place without any significant incidents, confirming the effectiveness of the traffic management and security measures put in place with the involvement of the various Local Police Commands.

Over the three days, a total of 43 operational interventions were carried out, including 10 road accidents and 16 interventions relating to traffic and parking.

The work carried out by the Consumer and Business Protection Office was also significant. The office identified violations resulting in fines totalling approximately €9,000, including the confiscation of around 350 bottles of water and beer being sold without authorisation.

The Volunteer Environmental Guards identified 30 violations relating to waste management and the protection of green areas. They also provided assistance to visitors at the information point on Via Arosio, in the square in front of the railway station.

The 190 Civil Protection volunteers provided more than 2,000 hours of service in total. Thanks to cooperation with the Lombardy Region’s Natural Risk Monitoring Functional Centre and ARPA Lombardia, five special weather bulletins were issued for the event area and shared with all personnel involved.

At Monza railway station, approximately 1,200 bottles of water were distributed free of charge to people waiting for trains to take them home.

The licence-plate recognition system recorded a total of 1,072,144 vehicles passing through the city from Thursday to Sunday, including 17,141 vehicles with foreign licence plates.

This is a particularly significant figure considering that it was not yet a fully operational working week and that the usual traffic flows associated with school activities had not yet resumed.

Extraordinary waste collection operations in the Park and throughout the city will be completed in the coming hours.

According to an initial estimate, 20 tonnes of waste were generated inside the Park during the Grand Prix days. This is in addition to the 98 tonnes already collected in the circuit area, with a further similar amount expected to be generated once cleaning and dismantling operations have been completed.

In the city, 14 tonnes of waste have already been collected and taken for disposal as of today.

BrianzAcque, the public company responsible for managing the water service in the Brianza area, supplied 115,000 litres of public drinking water at the various distribution points installed inside the circuit area. This resulted in an estimated saving of approximately 230,000 half-litre plastic bottles. These figures represent a 47% increase compared with 2025.

More than 122,000 people are estimated to have attended the events associated with MonzaFuoriGP, organised over the four days from Thursday to Sunday.

More than 23,000 people attended the concerts in Piazza Cambiaghi, with the Saturday evening event selling out. The line-up featured Arisa, Merk & Kremont, Nicolò Filippucci, Cioffi and Senza Cri.

At the Boschetti Reali, 34,000 people passed through the food-truck area, while total attendance across the other event areas in the city centre reached 65,000 people, distributed among Piazza Trento e Trieste, Largo IV Novembre, Piazza Roma, Piazza Carducci, Piazza San Paolo, Piazza Centemero e Paleari, Largo Mazzini, Via Vittorio Emanuele, Piazza Carrobiolo and the Mercati footbridge/Maddalena ramparts.

The five information points set up in Piazza Trento e Trieste, Piazza Roma, Monza Railway Station – Via Arosio, Autodromo Nazionale di Monza and the Park – Porta Monza recorded a total of 12,378 contacts, including 7,696 Italian tourists (62.2%) and 4,682 visitors from other countries (37.8%).

The information point at Monza Railway Station – Via Arosio recorded the highest proportion of international tourists, at 65%.
