Juventus Legend Gigi Buffon Set to Go Head-to-Head with Torino's Joe Hart

On Sunday, the Stadio Olimpico in Turin sees the latest instalment of the city's underappreciated derby clash. Known as the Derby della Mole, it is not named after a small mammal with bad eyesight or a benign growth on the ski but instead a major landmark in the former Italian capital city.

La Mole Antonelliana takes its name from the architect who built it, Alessandro Antonelli, and stands tall above its surroundings with a unique spire that dominates the skyline. In the Italian language, the word "mole" literally means "size" and is often used to denote a building of immense proportions.
