 Beloved team's fatal crash still haunts Turin - Soccer - www.theage.com.au
The tragic loss of the team called the Grande Torino is not nearly as well known in the English-speaking world as that of Manchester United in a plane crash in Munich nine years later, yet arguably was felt even more grievously and left an even grimmer legacy.
Torino never has, winning only one championship since, and now plays in Serie B. For some in Turin, the Winter Games will be their tribute to the Grande Torino.
But few disasters left such a psychological scar as the crash of Torino, which is why it figures in pre-publicity for the Winter Games and why, 56 years later, pilgrims still come in their thousands from around Italy and around the world to visit the site.

To make sure that nobody from AC Torino would have the idea or the guts to ask for such a bidding competition, it was important to have gi*ve's rivals controlled by someone from inside the club itself.
Therefore rebuilding the Comunale meant that AC Torino had to spend more than twice what gi*ve had spent for the Delle Alpi, which in itself although in need of some changes, was a fully functional football stadium.

Since then the Granata (Burgundy, from their colours) have struggled to stay among the elite: in fact, they have gone down to the Serie B four times since, the first after the 1988-89 season when their 30-year stay in the top division was finally brought to an end, then again in 1995-96, 1997-98 and 1999-2000.
Italy's biggest football shock also involved the Granata, as on May 4, 1949 the whole 'Grande Torino', the great Turin side which had won five Serie A titles since 1942, was destroyed when the plane carrying them home from a friendly in Lisbon crashed into the Basilica of Superga, on the hills surrounding the city.
Cimminelli says his goal is to make Torino financially stable, with the development of the Filadelfia and the rebuilding work on the Stadio Comunale which will become the Granata's home stadium, but in the meantime he needs Torino to stay up in order to fulfil those requirements and avoid being stuck with an empty bowl.

 The Basilica of Superga
On September 2 1706, Princes Vittorio Amedeo II and Eugenio of Savoy climbed the high hill to observe the position of the Franco-Spanish army that had been besieging the town for four months and made a vow to dedicate the site to the Holy Mother of Graces for the liberation of Turin.
The vow, which consisted in the commitment to have a grand church built on that same hill in the case of victory over the French, was made before the wooden statue of the Holy Mother, now kept in the Chapel that exactly reproduces the one demolished to make room for the Basilica.
On May 4 1949, the aircraft carrying the footballers back home from a victorious match played at Lisbon crashed against the base of the rear wall of the Basilica complex, maybe due to adverse weather conditions.

The great Torino team from that period (il Grande Torino) often formed 9/11 of the Azzurri and included the legendary Valentino Mazzola (his son, Sandro Mazzola, was also one of the greats of Italian soccer, though probably not at the level of Valentino).
