Juventus

Torino

TheDerby della Mole is thelocal derby played out betweenTurin's most prominentfootball clubs,Juventus andTorino. It is also known as theDerby di Torino or theTurin Derby in English. It is named after theMole Antonelliana, a major landmark in the city and the architectural symbol of thePiedmontese capital.^[1] It is the oldest ongoing meeting between two teams based in the same city inItalian football.^[2]

The match between the two clubs represented until theFirst World War the juxtaposition of two opposing social classes. Juventus, founded in 1897 by students of a prestigious high school in Turin, soon became akin to the bourgeois in the town especially after enduring bond with theAgnelli family, which began in 1923, during which time they were also supported by the aristocracy of the region. Torino instead was born in 1906 from a division within Juventus, at the hands of dissidents who joined forces with another team from the city,Football Club Torinese, who identified with the then-early industrial world. In the 1960s and 1970s, these differences had eased considerably, partly as a result of the great migration to Turin about forty years earlier, but did not disappear: Juventus has since transcended its status as the symbol of the bourgeois and elite class to become a global phenomenon while Torino still largely retains an exclusively local fanbase.^[3]

The colours of the two teams also contribute, in small part, to this distinction: theBianconeri, originally pink and black, adopted their jerseys fromNotts County all the way from England,^[4][5] while theGranata dusted off the colours of the "Brigade Savoia", that two centuries earlier had liberated the then capital of theDuchy of Savoy.^[6][7] Both clubs, however, featured within their emblems a raging bull, taken from the city's coat of arms: Juventus as a bond with their origins, while Torino adopted it as their identity.^[3] It was the case until 2017 when Juventus introduced a J-shaped logo and featured the bull no longer.^[8]

The Turin derby was first played on 13 January1907. It was also the first competitive match ofTorino after its founding on 3 December 1906. The rivalry stems from the fact that Torino was founded through a merger ofFootball Club Torinese and a group ofJuventus dissidents, led by major financierAlfred Dick. It is said that prior to the first derby, Dick was locked inside the changing room, causing him to miss the game and having to listen to updates via players and staff.

Since then, the derby has not been played inSerie A thirteen times: twelve due to Torino being inSerie B, and once after Juventus were relegated following the2006 Italian football scandal. In addition to the derby against theGranata, theBianconeri have played many derbies in the top flight with other city teams that no longer exist such asR.S. Ginnastica Torino,Sport Club Audace Torino andFootball Club Pastore. In the first two editions of the Italian football championship, the original derbies of Turin were the ones played between Torinese, Ginnastica Torino andInternazionale Torino, before the latter merged with Torinese in 1900.

BeforeWorld War II, the rivalry between the two clubs came to represent a class divide in thePiedmont region. The fans of Torino originally represented theproletariat, while Juventus thebourgeoisie. However, with the massmigration to Turin, a major industrial center ofnorthern Italy, in the 1960s and 1970s, the social difference had already diminished considerably. Manyblue-collar workers arrived fromsouthern Italy and took up employment with theAgnelli family, the owners ofFIAT; thus, they started to see Juventus as "the team of the boss" or the "team of Fiat", and became fans. Torino would stand to represent the "original" spirit of Piedmont, or the purestTorinesità and to this day, it draws its supporters from a predominantly local fanbase, compared to Juventus, which enjoys widespread support even outside of Italy.^[9][10] Today, the differences remain, even if they are less prominent, due to Torino regularly teetering betweenSerie A andSerie B since the second half of the 1990s.^[11]

As of 28 February 2023, Juventus have won the derby 110 times and Torino have won it 73 times. Despite the overall results of the derby generally in favor of Juventus, historically, there have been periods where Torino have prevailed; between 1912 and 1914, in the space of three encounters, Torino submerged Juventus under a heavy "coat" of 23 goals—in which Juventus suffered its heaviest defeat in history, an 0–8 result on 17 November 1912, and especially during the 1940s, thanks to the team led byValentino Mazzola, known as theGrande Torino. The end of the twenties signaled a period of early dominance of Juventus, who had just passed under the Agnelli, and left their rivals with only three victories in twenty matches;^[12] subsequently, theSuperga tragedy of 1949 and the consequent technical impoverishment of Torino, was followed by a period more favourable for Juventus in the 1950s, culminating in the derby of 20 April 1952, won 6–0.

The 1970s witnessed the revival of Torino, when Juventus remained without a win in the derby for nearly six years (from December 1973 to March 1979) and Torino established a record of 4 wins in a row in a single championship (1975–76). Coinciding with Torino's economic difficulties (especially at the end of the 1990s), Juventus inflicted heavy defeats (5–0 of 3 December 1995). Recent history has seen a marked dominance of Juventus, so much so that Torino's 2–1 victory on 26 April 2015 was their first derby success in twenty years.^[13]

In 1967 after a derby Torino won 4–0, incensed Juventus fans vandalized the grave of former Torino playerGigi Meroni.^[15][16]

On 27 March 1983, Torino, down 0–2, overturned the deficit in the 75th minute by scoring three goals in just over three minutes to win 3–2. Another remarkable encounter took place on 14 October 2001, when Torino, trailing 0–3 at halftime, came back to tie the game 3–3 (taking advantage of a penalty miss by Juventus playerMarcelo Salas, who would have scored 4–3 to Juventus). This was made famous by Torino midfielderRiccardo Maspero, who grooved a hole on the penalty spot before Salas kicked it. In the return leg, that ended 2–2, Juventus midfielderEnzo Maresca notably celebrated a late equaliser by parodying the 'horns of the bull' (the bull being the Torino's club symbol), a gesture usually done by former TorinocaptainMarco Ferrante.

Prior to a derby match during the2007–08 season, riots took place and chaos broke out as police tried to control the hooligans involved. There were 40 arrests made and 2 injured policemen. Rubbish bins were set on fire and many cars and shops vandalized as a result.

On 1 December 2012 the two clubs met in Serie A for the first time in three seasons and it was the first derby hosted at theJuventus Stadium. Prior to kick-off, several fans from both sides were arrested for starting a brawl and vandalism.^[17] Juventus won 3–0, with all three goals scored by Turin-born Juventus youth productsClaudio Marchisio (2) andSebastian Giovinco (1).^[18] The match was marred by a red card, a €10,000 fine for Juventus for an offensive banner some of its supporters had displayed about the infamousSuperga air disaster^[19] and a €25,000 fine for Torino after their fans vandalised stadium toilets and seats.^[20]
