Summary

After winning the championship last season, the team clinched again the title with a great performance in the second part of the season with a format of sole group. Valentino Mazzola[2] scored a massive 29 goals to help Torino reached a back-to-back championship.

The wounds of war were healing and football returned to a single-round system.[3] The league, due to the immediate difficulties to find the sixteen best teams, was played with a huge tournament of twenty teams, then occupying 38 days, from September to July 1947. Torino did not make substantial changes to its team, but had strengthened the park of players. Along with the return of Romeo Menti,[4] came the midfielder Danilo Martelli from Brescia,[5] the back-stopper Francesco Rosetta of Novara,[6] the goalkeeper Dante Piani, the Vercellese Guido Tieghi.

From the 21st round the Granata returned to the lead,[7] gradually strengthening their position and subsequently winning the tournament, with a ten-point lead over Juventus. Torino, after a last misstep with Sampdoria (the only team in the tournament to take away three points out of four from Torino) put together a sixteen match unbeaten run, of which fourteen were victories, beginning with the derby won by Guglielmo Gabetto,[8] to go to other successes such as the five goals against Inter and Atalanta, the six against Vicenza, Genoa and Milan. That attack ended with 104 goals scored, an average of nearly three per game, and with Valentino Mazzola Serie A top-scorer.
