Toro News
Toro News is an online news outlet dedicated to Torino Football Club, registered with the Turin court on 1 June 2005 and published by the Labcoop cooperative, based in corso Svizzera in Turin; its editorial director is Fabrizio Viscardi, and its editor-in-chief is Andrea Calderoni [1]. The site launched on 2 June 2005 [2] and grew out of a fans' forum that, during that year's club crisis, had become the main source of information for granata supporters [3].
Among the directors who have led the outlet over the years are Paolo Aghemo, at the helm from late 2005 to spring 2007, and Luca Sgarbi, between June and December 2012; for the twentieth anniversary, Aghemo recalled the venture as "pioneering and avant-garde," in years when online journalism was taking its first steps [2]. In 2021 director Gianluca Sartori described a newsroom made up mostly of young people early in their careers, and a relationship with the club that was professional but entirely separate [3].
The outlet covers Torino from every angle: the first team, the transfer market, opinion columns, press roundups and the youth academy, which the editorial staff claims to follow with an attention no one else devotes to it [3] [4]. It is part of RCS MediaGroup's Gazzanet network [4]. In the September 2026 Torino Top 100 ranking, the site is listed among the thousand most visited sites in Italy according to Google's Chrome UX Report.
