The Olympic Stadium

Stadio Comunale di Torino is a multi-use stadium in Turin, Italy. It was built in 1933 for the 1934 FIFA World Cup, the first in Italy, and originally held 65,000 spectators. It was originally named Stadio Mussolini, after dictator Benito Mussolini. It was renamed the Stadio Comunale after the Second World War. For many years it was home to Juventus and Torino Calcio before the Stadio Delle Alpi opened in 1990. The stadium was abandoned for several years, before being chosen as an Olympic venue. Much of the original structure was demolished in this rebuilding process. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... This will be the new stadium of Torino F.C..
