A new book explores the aftermaths of the infamous 1949 Superga tragedy, when the best soccer team of that time perished in an air crash.


Dutch journalist Roberto Pennino in "Gli immortali del Grande Torino e i ragazzi del 1949"  focuses on the story of the air disaster and on how the tragedy changed the lives of numerous people, beginning with the youth squad who had the burden of replacing the death players on the pitch.
