On July 24, 1923 Edoardo buys the club for a property that will experience a historic day on Monday
It is an embroidery of fate that Juventus celebrates the centenary of the Agnelli property in the United States. Senator Giovanni, founder of Fiat, was always inspired by the USA, where he sent his son Edoardo, the first Agnelli to be president of Juventus, and then his nephew Gianni, who fell madly in love with the USA (just as the USA fell in love with him). Juventus degli Agnelli was born on 24 July 1923 , in a Board of Directors in which Edoardo began by explaining that "he will play the role of president in a way that is anything but honorific" and ends with the family motto: "A thing done well can always be done better".
He will keep his promise, always trying, almost obsessively, to improve Juventus, as a team and as a club, transforming it into one of the strongest formations in Europe, giving the backbone to Italy, the 1934 world champion. And the philosophy of the Fordist factories is precisely the determining factor in Juventus' success: the powerful rationalization and organizational discipline, which Edoardo injects into the club's genetic code, remain the hallmark of Juventus over the next hundred years, as does the ambition to growth and the eager aspiration to win.
One hundred years of Agnelli basically mean this, for Juventus, having a very long common thread that has allowed them not to lose their way to success even in times of crisis and the certainty that every storm would, in some way, pass. Of course, even the money, a lot, placed in the club's coffers, but those have also been guaranteed by the other big industrialists who have been owners of football teams, but they have come and gone, putting only that into the club.
