In the Heart of Turin on May 4th: A Cry for Change at the Torino Fans' March
"The Bull Celebration at Pride Green": the 4th of May Event
Year after year, the streets of Turin buzz with an unyielding spirit on May 4th, as ardent Toro fans take to the city to demand a new era for their beloved club. This year, the rally is no exception, with Ultras Torino leading the charge against the club's management and ownership.
The journey begins at Bar Norman, the very place where Torino FC was founded, and concludes at Superga Hill, home to the illustrious Grande Torino and the site of the devastating tragedy of May 4, 1949. The route is steeped in history and emotion, as fans march in unison, bound by a shared passion and longing for change.
As the day unfolds, two significant ceremonies will take place. The first, a solemn commemoration at the Monumental Cemetery, honors the fallen heroes of Grande Torino, their remaining family members, and several high-profile Torino figures like Renato Zaccarelli. Here, the echoes of Don Riccardo Robella's powerful words linger, expressing the enduring love for that era and the hope for a brighter future.
The second ceremony at Superga Hill is expected to see the attendance of the club's president, Urbano Cairo, along with his son. However, his presence is met with an unmistakable chant of "Cairo go away!" as fans voice their grievances over the perceived arid accounting approach to club management, instead of the raw passion the fans yearn for.
This year, the march has garnered significant support, with over 80 clubs from across Italy joining the cause. Amid the sea of red and white, you'll find families, Ultras, casual fans, and even River Plate supporters, all coming together in a show of unity. The chants of "Toro! Toro!" and the waving of banners serve as a poignant reminder of the club's rich legacy and the fans' relentless pursuit of change.
As the sun sets on this historic day, the question remains: Will the cry of the fans for a true Torino resonate with the powers that be? Only time will tell if this march will mark a turning point in the club's history or if the echoes of discontent will continue to reverberate in the streets of Turin.
