Juventus were founded as 'Sport Club Juventus' in late 1897 by pupils from the Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin, History of Juventus but were renamed as 'Football Club Juventus' two years later.[11] The club joined the Italian Football Championship during 1900, wearing their original pink and black kit. Juventus first won the league championship in 1905 while playing at their ''Velodromo Umberto I'' ground and wearing their famous black and white stripes. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
There was a split at the club in 1906, after some of the staff considered moving Juve out of Turin.[12] President Alfredo Dick was unhappy with this and left with some prominent players to found FBC Torino which in turn spawned the ''Derby della Mole''.[13] Juventus spent much of this period steadily rebuilding after the split, surviving the First World War. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
Fiat owner Edoardo Agnelli gained control of the club in 1923, building a new stadium. Presidenti This helped the club to their second league championship by the 1925–26 season beating Alba Roma with an aggregate score of 12–1, Antonio Vojak's goals were essential that season. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, The 1930s proved to be even more fruitful, the club won five consecutive league titles from 1930 through to 1935, most were under coach Carlo Carcano Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, with star players such as Raimundo Orsi, Luigi Bertolini, Giovanni Ferrari and Luis Monti amongst others.
Juventus had a new ground in the form of the ''Stadio Comunale'', though for the rest of the 1930s and the majority of the 1940s they were unable to recapture championship dominance. After the Second World War, Gianni Agnelli was put in place as honorary president. Presidenti The club added two more scudetto championship's to their name in the 1949–50 and 1951–52 seasons, the latter of which was under the management of Englishman Jesse Carver.

Two new strikers were signed during 1957–58, in the form of Welshman John Charles and Italo-Argentine Omar Sivori, playing alongside longtime member Giampiero Boniperti. That season saw Juventus awarded with the ''Golden Star for Sport Excellence'' to wear on their shirt after becoming the first Italian side to win ten league titles. In the same season, Omar Sivori became the first ever player at the club to win the European Footballer of the Year. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") The following season they beat Fiorentina to complete their first league and cup double, winning Serie A and Coppa Italia. Boniperti retired in 1961, he retired as the all-time top scorer at the club, with 182 goals in all competitions; a club record which would last for 45 years. Del Piero is the hero again
For the rest of the decade the club won the league just once more in 1966–67, Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, However, the 1970s would see Juventus further solidify their strong position in Italian football. Under former player ÄŒestmÃr Vycpálek they won the ''scudetto'' in 1971–72 and 1972–73, Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, with players such as Roberto Bettega, Franco Causio and José Altafini breaking through. During the rest of the decade they won the league two more times, with defender Gaetano Scirea contributing significantly. The latter of which was won under Giovanni Trapattoni, the man who would help the club's domination continue on in the early part of the 1980s. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro
The Trapattoni-era was highly successful in the 1980s, the ''Old Lady'' started the decade off well, winning the league title three more times by 1984. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, This meant Juventus had won 20 Italian league titles and were allowed to add a second golden star to their shirt, thus becoming the only Italian club to achieve this. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro Around this time the club's players were garnering attention on a large scale; Paolo Rossi was made European Footballer of the Year and had led Italy to victory in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.[14]
Frenchman Michel Platini was also awarded the European Footballer of the Year title for three years in a row; 1983, 1984 and 1985, which is a record. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") Juventus are the only club to have players from their club winning the award in four consecutive years. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") Indeed it was Platini who scored the winning goal in the 1985 European Cup final against Liverpool, however this was marred by a tragedy which would change European football; the Heysel Stadium disaster, in which 39 people (mostly Juventus fans) were killed by the stadium collapsing, it has been named "the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions."[15]
With the exception of winning the closely contested Italian Championship of 1985–86, the rest of the 1980s were not very successful for the club. As well as having to content with Diego Maradona's Napoli, both of the Milanese clubs Milan and Inter won Italian championships. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, In 1990, Juventus moved into their new home; ''Stadio delle Alpi'' which was built for the 1990 World Cup.[16]
Marcello Lippi took over as Juventus manager at the start of the 1994–95 campaign.[17] His first season at the helm of the club was a successful one, as Juventus recorded their first Serie A championship title since the mid-1980s. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, The crop of players during this period featured Ciro Ferrara, Roberto Baggio, Gianluca Vialli and a young Alessandro Del Piero. Lippi lead Juventus to the Champions League the following season, beating Ajax on penalties after a 1–1 draw in which Fabrizio Ravanelli scored for Juve.[18]
The club did not rest long after winning the European Cup, more highly regarded players were brought into the fold in the form of Zinédine Zidane, Filippo Inzaghi and Edgar Davids.[19] At home Juventus won Serie A in 1996–97 and 1997–98, as well as the European Super Cup. Juventus reached the 1997 and 1998 Champions League finals during this period, but lost out to Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid respectively.[20]
After leaving for a brief season, Lippi returned, signing big name players such as Gianluigi Buffon.[21], David Trézéguet, Pavel NedvÄ›d and Lilian Thuram, helping the team to two more ''scudetto'' titles in the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, Juventus were also part of an all Italian Champions League final in 2003 but lost out to AC Milan on penalties after the game ended in a 0–0 draw. The following year, Lippi was appointed as Italy's head coach, bringing an end to one of the most fruitful managerial spell in Juventus' history. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro
Fabio Capello became manager of Juventus in 2004, and lead Juventus to two more Serie A titles. But during May 2006, Juventus were one of four clubs linked to a Serie A match fixing scandal, the result of the scandal saw the club relegated to Serie B for the first time in their history, as well as being stripped of the two titles won under Capello.[22]
Many key players were sold, however, other big name players remained to help the club return to Serie A. The season was notable because Alessandro Del Piero broke club records, by becoming the first Juventus player to appear 500 times in all competitions for the club. Del Piero: 500 times Juve! The ''bianconeri'' were promoted straight back up as league winners after the 2006–07 season. For their return to Serie A in the 2007–08 season former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri is at the helm of ''the Old Lady''.[23]

Giampiero Boniperti, who was the all-time topscorer since 1961 comes in second in all competitions with 182, but is still the top league goalscorer for ''the Old Lady'' as of June 2007.[26][27]
In the 1933–34 season, Felice Placido Borel II° scored 31 goals in 34 appearances, setting the club record for Serie A goals in a single season. Ferenc Hirzer is the club's highest scorer in a single season with 35 goals in 26 appearances in the 1925–26 season (record of Italian football). The most goals scored by a player in a single match is 6, which is also an Italian record. This was achieved by Omar Enrique Sivori in a game against Inter in the 1960–61 season. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
The first ever official game participated in by Juventus was in the Third Federal Football Championship, the predecessor of Serie A, against FBC Torinese; Juve lost 0–1. The biggest ever victory recorded by Juventus was 15–0 against Cento, in the second round of the Coppa Italia in the 1926–27 season. In terms of the league; ACF Fiorentina and US Fiumana were famously on the end of the ''Old Lady''’s biggest championship wins, both were beaten 11–0 and were recorded in the 1928–29 season. Juventus' heaviest championship defeats came during the 1911–12 and 1912–13 seasons; they were against Milan in 1912 (1–8) and Torino Calcio in 1913 (0–8). Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
The ''Old Lady'' holds the record for the most goals in a single season, in the top flight of Italian football, this includes national league, national cup and European competition, with a total of 106 goals in the 1992–93 season. The sale of Zinédine Zidane to Real Madrid of Spain from Juventus in 2001, set the current world football transfer record for the most expensive deal, costing the Spanish club around £46 million.[28]
Juventus have played in black and white striped shirts, with white shorts, sometimes black shorts since 1903. Originally, they played in pink shirts with a black tie, the father of one of the players made the earliest shirts, but continual washing faded the colour so much that in 1903 the club sought to replace them. Black & white – A design for life
Juventus asked one of their team members, Englishman John Savage, if he had any contacts in England who could supply new shirts in a colour that would better withstand the elements. He had a friend who lived in Nottingham, who being a Notts County supporter, shipped out the black and white striped shirts to Turin. Black & white – A design for life
Juventus Football Club’s official emblem has undergone different and small modifications since the second decade of twentieth century. The last modification of the ''Old Lady''’s badge took place in 2005. At the present time, the emblem of the team is conformed to a black-and-white oval shield; a type of Italian shield specially used by ecclesiastics, it is divided in five vertical stripes: two white stripes and three black stripes, inside of this are the following elements; in its superior section, the name of the society superimposed a white convex section, over golden curvature (gold for honour). The white silhouette of a charging bull is in the inferior section of the oval shield, superimposed a black old french shield; the charging bull is a symbol of the ''Comune di Torino''. There is also a black silhouette of a mural crown above the black spherical triangle’s base is a reminiscence to "Augusta Tourinorum", the old city of the Roman era which the present capital of Piedmont region is its cultural heiress.
In the past, the convex section of the emblem had a blue colour (another symbol of Turin) and, furthermore, its shape was concave. The old french shield and the mural crown, also in the inferior section of the emblem had, considerably, a greater size with respect to the present. The two ''Golden Stars for Sport Excellence'' were located above the convex & concave section of the Juventus’ emblem. During the 1980s, the club emblem was the silhouette of a zebra, to both sides of the equide’s head, the two golden stars and, above this badge, forming an arc, the clubs name.
During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, ''la Vecchia Signora'' [29] (the Old Lady) being the best example. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin The name "Juventus" is a literal license in Piedmontese dialect of the Latin substantive ''iuventus'' (''youth'' in English language).. It was derived from the age of the Juventus' star players towards the middle of 1930s. The "lady" part of the nickname is what fans of the club referred to it as affectionately prior to the 1930s. The club is also nicknamed ''la Fidanzata d'Italia'' (the Girlfriend of Italy), because over the years they have received a high level of support from Southern Italian immigrant workers (particularly from Naples and Palermo), who arrived in Turin to work for Fiat since the 1930s. Other nicknames include; ''i bianconeri'' (the black-and-whites) and ''le zebre'' (the zebras [30]) in reference to Juventus' colours.
Main articles: Juventus Ultras
Juventus is the most well supported football club in Italy with over 11 million fans (31% of Italian football fans, according to the Doxa Institute-L'Expresso’s research of April 2006[31]), and one of the most supported football clubs in the world, with approximately 21 million supporters in Europe alone.[32] The ''Old Lady'' has fan clubs all over the world outside of Italy, from places as far apart as Malta,[33] England,[34] Iran,[35] Greece,[36] Israel,[37] Vietnam,[38] Hungary[39] and many more.[40]
Despite this strong support, attendances at Juventus home matches average about 35,000; much less than other highly renowned European teams. Contrastingly, demand for Juventus tickets in occasional home games held away from Turin is high; suggesting that Juventus have stronger support in other parts of the country. Juve is widely and especially popular throughout Southern Italy, leading the team to have one of the largest followings in its away matches [41]) than Turin itself. A large portion of Juventus fans in Turin do not attend the games and rather watch the games on TV, because of the conditions at Stadio delle Alpi; this is largely due to the running track which makes the pitch a long distance from the stands, work is ongoing to fix this problem.[42]
Juventus ultras have good relationships with Piacenza, Ado Den Haag and Legia Warsaw fans and have several rivalries, two of which are highly significant.[43] The first is with local club Torino, they compete in the ''Derby della Mole'' (Derby of Torino) together; this rivalry dates back to 1906 when Torino was founded by former Juve members. The other most significant rivalry is with Internazionale; matches between Juventus and Inter are referred to as the ''Derby d'Italia'' (Derby of Italy). Up until the 2006 Serie A match-fixing scandal, which saw Juventus relegated, the two were the only Italian clubs to have never played below Serie A. Notably the two sides are the most supported in Italy, the rivalry has intensified since the later part of the 1990s.[44]
Notable ''Old Lady'' supporters are the spinto tenor Luciano Pavarotti, the French racing driver Jean Alesi, the prelate of the Roman Catholic Church Tarcisio Bertone, the singer and songwriter Eros Ramazzotti and the Mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni.[45][46][47][48][49]

Historic first ever Juventus club shot in 1898.
Juventus were founded as 'Sport Club Juventus' in late 1897 by pupils from the Massimo D'Azeglio Lyceum school in Turin, History of Juventus but were renamed as 'Football Club Juventus' two years later.[11] The club joined the Italian Football Championship during 1900, wearing their original pink and black kit. Juventus first won the league championship in 1905 while playing at their ''Velodromo Umberto I'' ground and wearing their famous black and white stripes. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
There was a split at the club in 1906, after some of the staff considered moving Juve out of Turin.[12] President Alfredo Dick was unhappy with this and left with some prominent players to found FBC Torino which in turn spawned the ''Derby della Mole''.[13] Juventus spent much of this period steadily rebuilding after the split, surviving the First World War. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005,
League dominance
Fiat owner Edoardo Agnelli gained control of the club in 1923, building a new stadium. Presidenti This helped the club to their second league championship by the 1925–26 season beating Alba Roma with an aggregate score of 12–1, Antonio Vojak's goals were essential that season. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, The 1930s proved to be even more fruitful, the club won five consecutive league titles from 1930 through to 1935, most were under coach Carlo Carcano Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, with star players such as Raimundo Orsi, Luigi Bertolini, Giovanni Ferrari and Luis Monti amongst others.
Juventus had a new ground in the form of the ''Stadio Comunale'', though for the rest of the 1930s and the majority of the 1940s they were unable to recapture championship dominance. After the Second World War, Gianni Agnelli was put in place as honorary president. Presidenti The club added two more scudetto championship's to their name in the 1949–50 and 1951–52 seasons, the latter of which was under the management of Englishman Jesse Carver.

First club to win ten Italian Championships.
Two new strikers were signed during 1957–58, in the form of Welshman John Charles and Italo-Argentine Omar Sivori, playing alongside longtime member Giampiero Boniperti. That season saw Juventus awarded with the ''Golden Star for Sport Excellence'' to wear on their shirt after becoming the first Italian side to win ten league titles. In the same season, Omar Sivori became the first ever player at the club to win the European Footballer of the Year. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") The following season they beat Fiorentina to complete their first league and cup double, winning Serie A and Coppa Italia. Boniperti retired in 1961, he retired as the all-time top scorer at the club, with 182 goals in all competitions; a club record which would last for 45 years. Del Piero is the hero again
For the rest of the decade the club won the league just once more in 1966–67, Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, However, the 1970s would see Juventus further solidify their strong position in Italian football. Under former player ÄŒestmÃr Vycpálek they won the ''scudetto'' in 1971–72 and 1972–73, Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, with players such as Roberto Bettega, Franco Causio and José Altafini breaking through. During the rest of the decade they won the league two more times, with defender Gaetano Scirea contributing significantly. The latter of which was won under Giovanni Trapattoni, the man who would help the club's domination continue on in the early part of the 1980s. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro
European stage

The Trapattoni-era was highly successful in the 1980s, the ''Old Lady'' started the decade off well, winning the league title three more times by 1984. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, This meant Juventus had won 20 Italian league titles and were allowed to add a second golden star to their shirt, thus becoming the only Italian club to achieve this. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro Around this time the club's players were garnering attention on a large scale; Paolo Rossi was made European Footballer of the Year and had led Italy to victory in the 1982 FIFA World Cup.[14]
Frenchman Michel Platini was also awarded the European Footballer of the Year title for three years in a row; 1983, 1984 and 1985, which is a record. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") Juventus are the only club to have players from their club winning the award in four consecutive years. European Footballer of the Year ("Ballon d'Or") Indeed it was Platini who scored the winning goal in the 1985 European Cup final against Liverpool, however this was marred by a tragedy which would change European football; the Heysel Stadium disaster, in which 39 people (mostly Juventus fans) were killed by the stadium collapsing, it has been named "the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions."[15]
With the exception of winning the closely contested Italian Championship of 1985–86, the rest of the 1980s were not very successful for the club. As well as having to content with Diego Maradona's Napoli, both of the Milanese clubs Milan and Inter won Italian championships. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, In 1990, Juventus moved into their new home; ''Stadio delle Alpi'' which was built for the 1990 World Cup.[16]
The Lippi era
Gianluca Vialli lifting the ''European Cup'' for Juventus in 1996.
Marcello Lippi took over as Juventus manager at the start of the 1994–95 campaign.[17] His first season at the helm of the club was a successful one, as Juventus recorded their first Serie A championship title since the mid-1980s. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, The crop of players during this period featured Ciro Ferrara, Roberto Baggio, Gianluca Vialli and a young Alessandro Del Piero. Lippi lead Juventus to the Champions League the following season, beating Ajax on penalties after a 1–1 draw in which Fabrizio Ravanelli scored for Juve.[18]
The club did not rest long after winning the European Cup, more highly regarded players were brought into the fold in the form of Zinédine Zidane, Filippo Inzaghi and Edgar Davids.[19] At home Juventus won Serie A in 1996–97 and 1997–98, as well as the European Super Cup. Juventus reached the 1997 and 1998 Champions League finals during this period, but lost out to Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid respectively.[20]
After leaving for a brief season, Lippi returned, signing big name players such as Gianluigi Buffon.[21], David Trézéguet, Pavel NedvÄ›d and Lilian Thuram, helping the team to two more ''scudetto'' titles in the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons. Almanacco Illustrato del Calcio - La Storia 1898-2004, , Panini Edizioni, Modena, , 2005, Juventus were also part of an all Italian Champions League final in 2003 but lost out to AC Milan on penalties after the game ended in a 0–0 draw. The following year, Lippi was appointed as Italy's head coach, bringing an end to one of the most fruitful managerial spell in Juventus' history. Campionato Serie A - Albo D'oro
Recent times
Fabio Capello became manager of Juventus in 2004, and lead Juventus to two more Serie A titles. But during May 2006, Juventus were one of four clubs linked to a Serie A match fixing scandal, the result of the scandal saw the club relegated to Serie B for the first time in their history, as well as being stripped of the two titles won under Capello.[22]
Many key players were sold, however, other big name players remained to help the club return to Serie A. The season was notable because Alessandro Del Piero broke club records, by becoming the first Juventus player to appear 500 times in all competitions for the club. Del Piero: 500 times Juve! The ''bianconeri'' were promoted straight back up as league winners after the 2006–07 season. For their return to Serie A in the 2007–08 season former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri is at the helm of ''the Old Lady''.[23]

Colours, badge and nicknames
Juventus have played in black and white striped shirts, with white shorts, sometimes black shorts since 1903. Originally, they played in pink shirts with a black tie, the father of one of the players made the earliest shirts, but continual washing faded the colour so much that in 1903 the club sought to replace them. Black & white – A design for life
Juventus asked one of their team members, Englishman John Savage, if he had any contacts in England who could supply new shirts in a colour that would better withstand the elements. He had a friend who lived in Nottingham, who being a Notts County supporter, shipped out the black and white striped shirts to Turin. Black & white – A design for life
Juventus F.C. crest in 2004
Juventus Football Club’s official emblem has undergone different and small modifications since the second decade of twentieth century. The last modification of the ''Old Lady''’s badge took place in 2005. At the present time, the emblem of the team is conformed to a black-and-white oval shield; a type of Italian shield specially used by ecclesiastics, it is divided in five vertical stripes: two white stripes and three black stripes, inside of this are the following elements; in its superior section, the name of the society superimposed a white convex section, over golden curvature (gold for honour). The white silhouette of a charging bull is in the inferior section of the oval shield, superimposed a black old french shield; the charging bull is a symbol of the ''Comune di Torino''. There is also a black silhouette of a mural crown above the black spherical triangle’s base is a reminiscence to "Augusta Tourinorum", the old city of the Roman era which the present capital of Piedmont region is its cultural heiress.
In the past, the convex section of the emblem had a blue colour (another symbol of Turin) and, furthermore, its shape was concave. The old french shield and the mural crown, also in the inferior section of the emblem had, considerably, a greater size with respect to the present. The two ''Golden Stars for Sport Excellence'' were located above the convex & concave section of the Juventus’ emblem. During the 1980s, the club emblem was the silhouette of a zebra, to both sides of the equide’s head, the two golden stars and, above this badge, forming an arc, the clubs name.
During its history, the club has acquired a number of nicknames, ''la Vecchia Signora'' [29] (the Old Lady) being the best example. The "old" part of the nickname is a pun on Juventus which means "youth" in Latin The name "Juventus" is a literal license in Piedmontese dialect of the Latin substantive ''iuventus'' (''youth'' in English language).. It was derived from the age of the Juventus' star players towards the middle of 1930s. The "lady" part of the nickname is what fans of the club referred to it as affectionately prior to the 1930s. The club is also nicknamed ''la Fidanzata d'Italia'' (the Girlfriend of Italy), because over the years they have received a high level of support from Southern Italian immigrant workers (particularly from Naples and Palermo), who arrived in Turin to work for Fiat since the 1930s. Other nicknames include; ''i bianconeri'' (the black-and-whites) and ''le zebre'' (the zebras [30]) in reference to Juventus' colours.
Supporters and rivalries
Main articles: Juventus Ultras
Juventus is the most well supported football club in Italy with over 11 million fans (31% of Italian football fans, according to the Doxa Institute-L'Expresso’s research of April 2006[31]), and one of the most supported football clubs in the world, with approximately 21 million supporters in Europe alone.[32] The ''Old Lady'' has fan clubs all over the world outside of Italy, from places as far apart as Malta,[33] England,[34] Iran,[35] Greece,[36] Israel,[37] Vietnam,[38] Hungary[39] and many more.[40]
Despite this strong support, attendances at Juventus home matches average about 35,000; much less than other highly renowned European teams. Contrastingly, demand for Juventus tickets in occasional home games held away from Turin is high; suggesting that Juventus have stronger support in other parts of the country. Juve is widely and especially popular throughout Southern Italy, leading the team to have one of the largest followings in its away matches [41]) than Turin itself. A large portion of Juventus fans in Turin do not attend the games and rather watch the games on TV, because of the conditions at Stadio delle Alpi; this is largely due to the running track which makes the pitch a long distance from the stands, work is ongoing to fix this problem.[42]
Juventus ultras have good relationships with Piacenza, Ado Den Haag and Legia Warsaw fans and have several rivalries, two of which are highly significant.[43] The first is with local club Torino, they compete in the ''Derby della Mole'' (Derby of Torino) together; this rivalry dates back to 1906 when Torino was founded by former Juve members. The other most significant rivalry is with Internazionale; matches between Juventus and Inter are referred to as the ''Derby d'Italia'' (Derby of Italy). Up until the 2006 Serie A match-fixing scandal, which saw Juventus relegated, the two were the only Italian clubs to have never played below Serie A. Notably the two sides are the most supported in Italy, the rivalry has intensified since the later part of the 1990s.[44]
Notable ''Old Lady'' supporters are the spinto tenor Luciano Pavarotti, the French racing driver Jean Alesi, the prelate of the Roman Catholic Church Tarcisio Bertone, the singer and songwriter Eros Ramazzotti and the Mayor of Rome Walter Veltroni.[45][46][47][48][49]
