12 March 1921: l'Avvocato's birthday

It's tough to imagine a more intense, passionate and lasting love story than that of Gianni Agnelli, born on this day in Turin exactly 97 years ago, and Juventus.

Agnelli was the club's President from 1947 to 1953, but the relationship with the Old Lady lasted for his entire life. L'avvocato was more than just a club executive or a fan, he was a true icon of Juventus.

It's tough to even put into words what Gianni Agnelli means to the Bianconeri, but above all he has instilled the winning mentality that we see every single day from our beloved club.

Today, more than ever, we remember him with immense affection.
