Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino History

The Stadio Olympico Grande Torino (English: Great Turin Olympic Stadium), named after the Grande Torino team, is a multi-purpose stadium in Turin, Italy. It is the home ground of Serie A club Torino Football Club. The stadium is located in Piazzale Grande Torino, in the Santa Rita district, in the south-central area of ​​the city. The stadium is currently rated by UEFA as a Category 4 stadium, the highest ranking. Built in the 1930s, and originally known as the Stadio Municipale Benito Mussolini (or colloquially Stadio Municipale) and later as the Stadio Comunale, it was the home ground of Juventus and Torino until the 1990s, when it was abandoned for the larger and more modern Stadio delle Alpi. After sixteen years without Serie A football, the stadium was renovated and renamed "Stadio Olimpico" for the 2006 Winter Olympics. In 1990, both Juventus and Torino moved back to the Olimpico when the stadium was demolished and the Juventus Arena was built on the site. Juventus used it until the end of the 2010–11 season, and Torino have kept it as their home stadium to this day.
