Fossa dei Leoni were a group of AC Milan ultras, formed in 1968 and became a model by which other Italian ultra groups would follow.
The group dissolved in 2005 due to internal conflict with other Milan support groups, the Brigate Rossonere and Commandos Tigre.
However, the south corner or Curva Sud, of Milan acknowledged the role the original supporters group of Milan played in the club's history.
The tifo contained a devil in the middle, flanked by two fans either side who wore tattoos of the names of historical supporters groups.
