Danilo Martelli (27 May 1927 – 4 May 1949) was an Italian professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He died along with his teammates and Torino officials in the Superga air disaster. ==Club career== He began his career with ''Marzotto Manerbio'' in Serie C, in the 1940–41 season; then moved to Brescia which competed in Serie B for two seasons, demonstrating a propensity for scoring. In 1943 the ''Rondinelle'' won promotion to the top flight of Italian football, but could only play at the end of the Second World War, in the first post-war championship, in two regional groups. Brescia won fourth place in the group of Northern Italy, then lost a tie with A.C. Milan for the final round. However Martelli came to the fore and was noticed by executives of Torino, with whom he signed in 1946. With 72 appearances and 10 goals, he contributed to the conquest of three Serie A titles of the ''Grande Torino'' in 1947, 1948, 1949. Valentino Mazzola advised him always to be "meaner". He was the centre of a curious fact: ''the Bull'' needed to sell a player to reassess their finances and thought of selling Martelli, a rising star that interested many teams. His friends organised a kind of fundraiser to get half the amount other teams would pay for him, for Danilo to remain at Torino.〔R. Ossola-F. Tavella, ''"Il romanzo del Grande Torino"'', Newton & Compton, Roma, 1993, pp. 203-204〕 Along with Valerio Bacigalupo and Mario Rigamonti he was part of the infamous ''Trio Nizza'', three players of the Grande Torino who lived together in a small apartment in Via Nizza in Turin. Martelli was buried at the cemetery of his native region, Castellucchio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danilo Martelli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
