This documentary is a perfect proof of 'love and respect for private citizens against a historical site in Italian sport, Camp Torino, better known as Philadelphia Stadium. This place has witnessed an era of incredible sporting success for the city of Turin: it is precisely here, in fact, that the Grande Torino won six championships later.
From an era of prestige and success, however, has moved to a completely opposite from the fifties of the twentieth century the stage began to be gradually used less and less, until reaching its full disuse in the late nineties.
Today the remains of the stadium - which had a grandstand Liberty object of great attention by the Superintendence for Architectural Heritage - is left to itself, and lies in a state of total decay.
Extraordinary is the emotional relationship that binds the fans of Torino Calcio in Philadelphia, engaged in the first person to defend this place of the heart going in turn to remove the weeds or rebuild parts of structures crumbling at constant risk of collapse.
