Genoa's Curse: Football's Dark History

'The Curse of Grifone: A True Crime Mystery in Genoa'

Genoa, Italy – October 2023

The Stadio Luigi Ferraris, home to Genoa CFC, is one of Italian football’s most historic grounds. But beneath its roaring stands and hallowed turf lies a darker history—one of alleged curses, violent clashes, and a chilling unsolved crime that still haunts the city.

The Rivalry: Genoa vs. Atalanta

Genoa and Atalanta may not be Italy’s fiercest derby, but their encounters have been marred by tragedy. The most infamous incident occurred in 1995, when a Genoa ultra, Vincenzo Spagnolo, was stabbed to death by an Atalanta fan before a match in Milan. The murder sent shockwaves through Italian football, leading to stricter security measures—but some believe the violence never truly ended.

The Curse of Grifone

Genoa’s mascot, the Grifone (a mythical griffin), is said to carry an ancient curse. Legend has it that in the 1980s, a group of ultras buried a dagger in the stadium’s foundations as part of a dark ritual to 'protect' the team. Since then, bizarre incidents have plagued Genoa’s matches against Atalanta:

2006: A Genoa fan falls from the stands under mysterious circumstances.

2017: A flare fired from the away section causes a mass panic, injuring dozens.

2021: A match is suspended after ultras clash with police, leaving one officer in a coma.

The 2023 Mystery

On a foggy night in October 2023, before a crucial Genoa-Atalanta match, stadium workers made a grim discovery: a human skull buried near the curva. Forensic tests dated it to the 1990s, around the time of Spagnolo’s murder.

Rumors spread like wildfire:

Was this a long-lost victim of ultra violence?

Did the 'curse' demand another sacrifice?

Or was it a macabre warning from organized crime, which has long infiltrated Italian football?

The Unanswered Questions

Police reopened cold cases but found no matches. Some ultras refused to speak, while others whispered about 'old debts.' The skull was eventually reburied in an unmarked grave, its identity—and the truth behind its discovery—still unknown.

To this day, Genoa-Atalanta matches are played under heavy security, with fans on both sides exchanging uneasy glances. Some say they still hear whispers in the curva… 'Il Grifone non dimentica.' ('The Griffin does not forget.')

Case Status: Unsolved.
