The Biggest Dynasties in Italian Football

Genoa and Pro Vercelli were Italy's strongest teams before Serie A. When a national tournament was launched, however, the balance of power in the country shifted.

Juventus won five consecutive titles between 1930 and 1935. During this period, the tactical approach, physical discipline and orderly style of play developed by head coach Carlo Carcano became a style later associated with Italian teams. This plan was also adopted by the national team.

The Agnelli family, behind the club, far outpaced its rivals with the wealth it gained from its ownership of Fiat, the car manufacturer. The backbone of the Juventus squad also featured in the Italy national team that won the 1934 World Cup as hosts.
