TUTTOSPORT Italian Newspaper (May 23, 1996) - Juventus Champions League Victory

This item is a copy of an Italian sports newspaper, "TUTTOSPORT," published in 1996, specifically celebrating Juventus's victory in a cup (likely the Champions League, given the context of the club's history in 1996). The newspaper is printed on standard newsprint paper, which appears to have yellowed slightly with age, indicating natural oxidation. The overall color scheme is black and white for the main text and images, with the prominent 'TUTTOSPORT' masthead in a distinct red typeface, partially obscured by reflections and what appears to be a protective plastic covering. The headline, visible and prominent, reads 'Juve da leggenda' (Juve, a legend) and 'Vince al rigori la Coppa Canis per… l’Ajax,' which suggests Juventus won a cup final on penalties against Ajax – a clear reference to the 1996 UEFA Champions League Final. Below the main headline, a black and white photograph depicts triumphant Juventus players, including what appears to be Fabrizio Ravanelli and Gianluca Vialli, holding a large trophy. The newspaper exhibits typical signs of age for a print medium of its kind; some creasing and slight fraying are visible along the edges. It is currently placed on a wooden surface, possibly a table or shelf, and is covered by a glossy, transparent material, likely a plastic film or lamination, to protect the paper, which also causes some glare in the image. There are no visible tears or significant damage, suggesting it has been preserved, albeit with natural aging. The 'ORIGINAL MARINES SPORTSWEAR' advertisements are visible in the upper corners, indicating common sponsorship or advertising practices of the time. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced newspapers, focusing on clear typography and image reproduction for daily news dissemination. Its historical significance tied to a major sporting event makes it a notable collectible.
