The Superga air disaster
occurred on 4 May 1949, when a Flight G.212 of Avio Linee Italiane (Italian
Airlines), carrying the entire Torino football team (popularly known as the
Grande Torino), crashed into the retaining wall at the back of the Basilica of
Superga, which stands on a hill on the outskirts of Turin. Thirty-one people
died; there were no survivors.
