Trying to match those posters. I like the Asuncion idea.

Coudn't be São Paulo? (Guarulhos or Congonhas)

I have discovered some fascinating flight time information to round out our knowledge of what actually happened. For all 8 teams it looks to me like these parts of the total went went for the first 2 legs:
Dec. 2 ASU GRU PZ716 0402 0712
Dec. 2 GRU FCO AZ675 1715 0713+1
Then things diverged on the third leg into Torino.
7 teams got Dec. 3 FCO TRN AZ1413 0945 (30 min. late) 1123 (48 min. late)
The interesting thing is what happened to Mark and Bopper as a result of not reading the clue in full detail. They were able to get on PZ716
and AZ675 just as the other teams did, but in Rome they were booked on AZ1429 1030 1150. However, that flight was cancelled, so they had few options. Connecting through Paris to get to Torino had few flight combinations, so it had to be Frankfurt or Munich. The better option was Frankfurt:
LU231 1006 1222 FCO FRA connecting with LH300 1241 1355 FRA TRN
Through Munich it was AZ432 0923 (if they knew about the cancellation early enough) FCO MUC connecting with EN1898 1450 1637 MUC TRN
So it looks like the cancellation cost Mark/Bopper another 2 hours beyond the original delta, which was narrowed to about 30 minutes by the lateness of AZ1413.

I think Art/JJ finished leg 3 in Asuncion sometime around 230pm on Dec. 1. So, why was the pit stop timing around 26.5 hours, a most unusual number? I believe this was tailored to make sure that Art/JJ could not get the last flight to Sao Paulo at 6pm on Dec. 1. If they had, they would have arrived in Torino by 2135 or 2200 on Dec. 2, about 26 hours ahead of the other teams.
