"Juventus is nicknamed la Vecchia Signora (the Old Lady, by the first official name and the Style of the club), La Fidanzata d'Italia (the Italian Girlfriend, by the supporters), i bianconeri (black-and-whites, which are the colours of the club), zebre (zebras), or depreciatively gobbi (humpbacks, from latin goeba) by rival supporter"

"There is no clear information regarding the birth of Juventus - there are no records which document it nor any official papers or newspapers. The only document is the one from 1914, written by Enrico Canfari, one of the founders. "

"The two stars on the Juventus shirt signifies that they have won the Scudetto over 20 times." 

"Six key players have been sold to other clubs during the summer of 2006: Emerson and Italian national captain Fabio Cannavaro both rejoined Fabio Capello at Real Madrid, while Cannavaro's fullback colleague Gianluca Zambrotta and French defender Lilian Thuram were signed by Barcelona. Patrick Vieira moved to Inter Milan for a reported sum of €9.5m along with striker Zlatan Ibrahimović for €24.8m. Some of the club's top stars did however remain loyal to the club, including goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, former Czech star Pavel Nedvěd, long-serving striker Alessandro Del Piero, Mauro Camoranesi and French striker David Trézéguet though Trézéguet had said that he was forced to stay at Juventus."

"Juventus have won more official national official titles than any other Italian team. The Old Lady is the second club in Europe and third club in the world with the most international titles recognized by UEFA and FIFA (only Boca Juniors - with 16 titles - and Real Madrid, Milan and Independiente - all with 15 titles - have more official international titles in the world).
