From the crossroads to the Curva Nord
Inter come in through the Curva Nord, at the opposite end from the via San Giusto corridor: not piazza Axum, not tram 16. On this side is M5 San Siro Stadio.
Not to scale · Archistadia, YesMilano
The Curva Nord belongs to Inter. It lies at the opposite end of the stadium from the crossroads corridor: two ends, two entrances, and they do not mix.
From the crossroads the shortest route leads to the south side. For the north side you go round the ground: that is why this page looks at the stadium from the other side.
Inter were not born here and did not arrive at once: they played elsewhere until 14 September 1947, when they made their home in the same stadium as Milan. Two tenants, not a merger.

Four shirts, drawn
Only the pattern and colours, without crests or sponsors. At home the number of stripes changes, not the colours; away, Inter have also worn white.

The club’s names
Internazionale, Ambrosiana, Internazionale again
In thirty-seven years the club changes its name twice, then returns to the first. When it arrives at San Siro, in 1947, it is called Internazionale again.

Twenty-one league titles, sixteen since playing at San Siro
The first five titles, between 1909–10 and 1939–40, came before the move to San Siro in 1947. The other sixteen Inter won playing their home matches in the stadium. The latest, on 3 May 2026, came at San Siro, with the 2–0 against Parma: goals by Thuram and Mkhitaryan. Not since 1989 had Inter won the title at home, in front of their own crowd.

Finals won
Three European Cups, one won at San Siro
Inter have won the European Cup and Champions League three times. In 1965 the final was played at San Siro itself: the only time a Milan team has won the cup in its own stadium.

Outside the club
The independent archives, and why they matter
On Inter’s history too there are archives kept by private individuals, separate from the club. The closest to a documentary archive is StoriaInter, a personal project by Tommaso De Lorenzis, online since 2006 and non-profit: line-ups of every match including friendlies, player and coach profiles, transfers, shirts, statistics.
Alongside it is Storie Nerazzurre, which describes itself as an independent magazine: a narrative approach, reconstructing seasons and protagonists. Its two historical sections, Archivio Nerazzurro and Museo Nerazzurro, are listed as direct entry points, but they are not separate sources: same publisher, so they do not count as a second corroboration for one another.
A separate case is Boys S.A.N.: it tells the story of organised support and the Curva Nord, not of the club. Outside a list of club history, but inside the scope of this site for another reason: the Curva Nord is the sector Inter come in from, and it is part of the area.

What this page rests on
Every fact is checked against at least two independent sources and, where one exists, the official source.
Two independent sources
Dates, measurements and names go through at least two sources that do not copy each other. Where it exists, we go to the original: the deed, the archive, the body that owns it. What appears in only one place waits.
One version only
If two sources disagree, the original document prevails. If even that is not enough, only the part they agree on is written: the year, for example, instead of the day.
Updated every day
The press review and calendar are updated every day. Everything else changes when a new document turns up, and then it changes everywhere at once.
From the community
Many memories, family photographs and tips come from people who live here, writing to the Facebook page. They are published only if the sender agrees. How to take part: Community.
Everything traceable
Sources are listed above and on the page Sources, with archive, shelfmark and terms of use.
No interpretation passed off as fact
An approximate figure stays approximate, a project stays a project until construction starts, and whatever does not add up stays out. The criteria are in Method.
