Clube Atlético Juventus turns one hundred years old this Saturday (20). In Mooca, a neighborhood with an Italian legacy in the capital of São Paulo, it is common to find establishments that proudly adopt the name and maroon color of the team on their signs, currently in the second division of the state championship.
