Origins of The Club
Two older clubs in Turin existed before this one, they were mixed sports clubs who competed in football. They were both formed in 1887 and were called Torino Football and Cricket Club and Nobili Torino. The former was founded by Edoardo Bosio a merchant worker in the British textile industry had brought the game back to Turin after experiencing it in England; this was likely the first Italian club to participate in football. Their original colours were red and black stripes.
The second club, whose name meant "Turin Nobles", bore the name of noble because it contained the Duke of the Abruzzi and Alfonso Ferrero di Ventimiglia (who would later become a president of FIGC). The colours of Nobili Torino were amber and black stripes. The two merged in 1891 to form Internazionale Torino, taking on the colours of Nobili.

“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”

“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
