Claudio Marchisio was born in Turin on January 19th 1986. After the positive experience in his first Serie A year at Empoli, he's now back in the Juventus shirt, kind of like a second skin to him, considering he grew up at the Club since he was a little boy.

He won a lot with the various Youth Teams there; his most important win remains the 2005/06 Youth Team League. He's one of the most talented Italian midfielders to emerge in recent years. It's no chance he's also part of the Under 21 national team set-up.
