Juventus = youth in Latin. Formed on November 1, 1897 by students of the Liceo Massimo d'Azeglio at their regular meeting place on a bench on Corso Re Umberto. Juve is pronounced YOU-vay. Juventus has been owned for years by the Agnelli family, who also own Fiat, although technically Juventus is a now a publicly-traded company. The black and white striped jerseys are actually taken from English club Notts County. An early club member visited England and, liking the jerseys, brought back a set for the club. The club are relegated to Serie B for the first time in their history for the 2006-07 season as punishment for their involvement in the recent match-fixing scandal. The 2005 and 2006 titles were also revoked.
