Piemont Tour 2019/ Superga 1 x PiP

The interior of the church building (was under renovation) was structured with chapels and decorated with sculptures, paintings and stucco. In the sacramental chapel there is a statue of the Virgin Mary, in front of which Victor Amadeus II is said to have made his vows. In the church there is a crypt, which also served as a mausoleum for the Savoyards, and here are the graves of several dozen members of the nobility.

In 1949 the basilica was the scene of an airplane accident that went down in history as the tragedy of Superga.
All 31 inmates, most of them players of the football club AC Turin, died.
