A Century of Football Passion in the Heart of Piedmont, Italy
The story of today’s LB Trino—short for Lupetti Bianchi Trino—has its roots in the early days of Italian football, stretching across more than a century of sporting, social, and local history. It’s a tale where cities and villages intertwine, generations of football lovers find their voice, and tradition becomes the fuel for the future.

The Origins (1898–1945)
Football began to flourish in Trino as early as 1898, with the founding of Unione Sportiva Trinese. Over the years, various clubs emerged and evolved, including Pro Trino and Juventus Sportiva Trinese, culminating in the formation of Trino F.C. in 1910. Although global conflicts interrupted play more than once, the unwavering determination of Trino’s people always brought the game back to life. In the post-war period, the newly formed U.S. Trinese competed in the prestigious Serie C Alta Italia, finishing second in Group H of the 1945–46 season—a milestone that remains the club’s greatest achievement on the national stage.

An Era of Mergers and Revivals (1950–2000)
The following decades were marked by promotions and relegations, name changes, and local mergers. From Voluntas to Or.Sa., G.I.L. to Trineis, all of these efforts merged into one shared mission: to preserve and advance the footballing legacy of Trino. This led to the creation of A.C. Trino. After competing in regional divisions like Promozione, Prima, and Seconda Categoria, the club staged a powerful comeback in the late 1990s. In 1999, promotion to Eccellenza was secured, followed by a triumph in Group B of the 2000–01 season, granting access to Serie D. Thus began a promising chapter in the history of A.S. Trino Calcio, playing with merit in Italy’s top amateur league.

A New Era Begins: The Birth of Le Grange
In 2006, following relegation from Eccellenza, A.S. Trino Calcio ceased operations. Yet its spirit lived on through a bold territorial project. On July 30, 2006, U.S.D. Le Grange was born—resulting from the merger of U.S. Fontanetto Palazzolo (itself a union of Fontanettese and Pro Palazzolo), U.S. Livorno Ferraris Calcio (founded in 1926), and most significantly, the leadership of A.S. Trino Calcio. The name “Le Grange” pays tribute to the historic farmsteads scattered across the lands of Trino, Livorno Ferraris, and Fontanetto Po—a territory deeply connected by its rural roots and sporting passion.
The youth sector—heart of the project—soon became a reference point for aspiring footballers from across the Grange vercellesi, offering modern facilities and top-quality coaching.
In 2009, the club moved to the brand-new and prestigious Roberto Picco Stadium in Trino.

From Le Grange Trino to Lupetti Bianchi Trino: Facing the Future
In 2013, the club adopted the name U.S.D. LG Trino, with the “LG” acronym honoring both Livorno Ferraris and Le Grange, while proudly reaffirming its roots in Trino. After several seasons in Promozione, the team was promoted to Eccellenza in 2015 and came close to Serie D in the 2017–18 campaign, finishing second and playing the playoff final against Baveno.
Despite setbacks caused by the pandemic and relegation in 2022, the club continued to battle with determination in the Promozione Piemonte Valle d’Aosta league, laying the groundwork for a new cycle of growth.
In 2024, a historic turning point arrived: the merger between LG Trino and Lupetti Bianchi, a renowned youth club from Vercelli, gave birth to LB Trino—a reinvigorated football entity blending experience and youthful energy. With strong roots and a bold vision, LB Trino looks to strengthen its bond with the territory and embrace the future of grassroots football with renewed ambition.
