We visited Turin in December 2015 for just over 24 hours for the Juventus vs Fiorentina match. Having followed Around J on Facebook and Instagram, I contacted Maurizio. He instantly sent a comprehensive guide of where to eat and drink along with what sights to see in Turin. From the moment I told him we would be coming to the moment we left, he went out of this way to make sure we were enjoying our time there.

We met Maurizio, Luca, Adam and Lorenzo just before kick-off and had enough time for a quick cheeky beer with them. It was a great match (and result!) with the atmosphere in the J stadium being electric.

Afterwards, Maurizio took us to a great restaurant where the prosecco and wine kept flowing and more and more food just kept being served into the early hours of Monday morning. This was a particular highlight for us as being from England, it’s very rare you get to sit down and talk all things Juventus with people who share that same level of passion and obsession for the club. We genuinely felt at home!

The following day we met Adam for a coffee and a spot of lunch before having to fly back. He had some great stories to share with us! He generously gave both of us a signed copy of his book: “Juventus, A history in black and white”

Simply cannot wait for the next trip, where we will be definitely staying at Luca’s hotel with the rest of the fans. It was an absolute pleasure meeting all of you guys. We both left Turin knowing that we now have a family there!

Maurizio, you have created something really special in bringing all of us international Bianconeri together. Keep up the great work!

Fino Alla Fine…Forza Juventus!
