OTD E0074 — 13 Jan 1907: Derby della Mole Begins — A Split, a Class Divide, and Torino’s First Punch

13 Jan 1907: The first Derby della Mole — Juventus vs Torino — is born from a rupture. Torino are founded weeks earlier when Juventus dissidents led by Alfred Dick merge with FC Torinese, then win their first competitive derby 2–1. We trace the class divide (Juventus/elite vs Torino/local industrial), the Superga tragedy that erased Grande Torino, and the modern imbalance: Torino’s last derby win remains 2015 — their first in 20 years. Records include 0–8, 8–6, and Juve’s 6–0. Ideas: [email protected]
