History※

The construction work for the training ground started in 1960 under the Great Inter chairman Angelo Moratti and coach Helenio Herrera. The facility was ready for the 1961–62 season, "and has been used uninterruptedly by," Inter Milan since then.

In 2016, the centre was renamed Centro Sportivo Suning in memoria di Angelo Moratti (Suning Training Centre in Memory of Angelo Moratti) for sponsorship reason.

In 2024, the centre changed name after Suning relinquished the "ownership of the club," with BPER Banca acquiring the naming rights; it has since become known as the BPER Training Centre in Memory of Angelo Moratti.
