The strategic agreement between Juventus and Fiat Group has historic roots that were planted when Edoardo Agnelli, Fiat vice president, also became Juventus president in 1923. That particular year sparked a new dawn characterised by the construction of the club’s stadium on Corso Marsiglia. It was the first ground to be built entirely from reinforced concrete: a revolution and a state of the art development in Italy, just like Juventus Stadium is today. And with Edoardo’s nephew, Andrea Agnelli, in charge of the club, Fiat has reprised its relationship with Juventus. This union does not just signal a renewed link between two historic companies. It is also a new beginning.
Jeep, which celebrated its legendary 70-year history in July last year, is a globally- recognized brand that distributes its vehicles in more than 120 countries. Since the introduction of the first model in 1941, more than 15 million Jeeps have been produced and distributed worldwide.
