Former stadium of Torino soccer team. Here played the "Grande Toro", who won five Italian Serie A championships in a row (1942-43, 45-46, 46-47, 47-48, 48-49). The whole team died in 1949, may 4th, in a plane crash on the hill of Superga.

The historical Filadelfia stadium has been completely destroyed at the end of the 90s. Now there's a talk between the city mayor and Torino Football Club for a future restoration.
