In the decade 1975-1985, Juventus established itself as one of the most dominant football teams in history, winning national and international trophies. But the story of its golden decade is not only about sporting success: it is a journey through an Italy marked by social tensions, terrorism, and scandals. From the city rivalry with Torino during the Years of Lead to the Heysel tragedy in 1985, Juventus stands as a symbol of excellence and resilience. With Giovanni Trapattoni at the helm and a squad of legendary players – Zoff, Scirea, Tardelli, Bettega, Platini, and Boniek – the documentary uses archival footage and exclusive interviews to weave the story of the Old Lady with that of a transforming Italy.

Declaration
film director
“Juventus - Il decennio d’oro is a docufilm that tells, for the first time and through the voices of its protagonists, one of the most captivating sports stories of all time. The deliberate choice is to focus on a pivotal moment in the great history of our country, which excelled on the world stage with the club owned by Gianni Agnelli, in Turin—then the capital of Italian football and, painfully, also of terrorism. The public service mission is to tell stories against the backdrop of broad, far-reaching contexts and events deeply felt by the general audience. The voices of the protagonists in this story alternate with a very tight editing style, conveying a chorus of impressions and anecdotes.”
