The Superga is a hill situated on the south bank of the Po River to the east of Turin in north-west Italy. At 672 metres above sea level, it is one of the most prominent of the hills which form an amphitheatre around the city.
Superga is known as the site of many of the tombs of the kings of the House of Savoy, for the Basilica of Superga, for the Superga Rack Railway which connects it to the Turin suburb of Sassi, and for the Superga air disaster of 1949, in which the entire Torino football squad perished.

Superga is an Italian brand of shoes founded in 1911. It originally made tennis shoes, including the famous model "2750 Classic" but then diversified.
Superga was born in 1911 in Torino, Italy, when Walter Martiny started production of rubber-soled footwear marked with the Superga logo. In 1925 Superga invented the 2750 model, shoes with vulcanized rubber soles. From 1934, the firm diversified its production to new collections dedicated to other sports and daily life.
After WWII, Superga restarted production specializing solely in high quality footwear. In 1951 the firm merged with Pirelli, which brought it new funds and made it possible to sharply increase the production of tennis shoes.
In the 1970s, as the sales of the 2750 continued, Superga diversified to add sport shoes with technical attributes. In the 1980s, the firm launched the production of clothes.
Superga UK employs popular celebrities as their brand ambassadors, with whom they collaborate to create a collection of shoes designed by the ambassador each year, including Alexa Chung in 2012, Rita Ora in 2013, and Suki Waterhouse in 2014. Supermodel Binx Walton has been announced as brand ambassador for 2015.
Making excuses because I'm just a man
Making excuses for my fallen stand
Wanting more than what is really my share
Taking more than what I can bare
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But I see Your hand, and I see Your smile
I feel Your presence at every extra mile
You call my name when I walk away
You search my heart day by day
(chorus)
Every where I go You are there
Every step I take You always show that Your care
What I don't deserve You give me more than my share
Your loving touch shows me You are always there
Wordly values seek my searching mind
Taking Your time and making it fit mine
Living how I want for others that are seeing
Hoping they will like this
I can not see, I've lost my way
Making excuses day after day
But You touch my heart, and open my eyes
You reach in and fix inside
You lift my burdens so I can walk again
You came to this earth to die for my sins
What I thought I had was nothing
What I have in Christ is more than something
I still struggle throughout His days
