Biography

A high school student in Turin at Liceo Massimo d'Azeglio, Donna (later a lawyer by training) was first known as a lively and fast striker, winning his Juventus team from its creation in 1897.

He was among the founding members and among the first players of Juventus, in which he had the role of right winger. He made his debut in an official match on 11 March 1900 against Turin, a 1–0 loss . His last presence was instead against Turin, a 3–1 defeat. During his eleven Juventus seasons he collected 30 appearances and 10 goals, and in 1905 he was among the protagonists of the club's first Italian title, in the Prima Categoria.

On 17 April 1904 he also participated, albeit a member of the first team, in the final of the first edition of the Seconda Categoria tournament reserved for reserves - a sort of Serie B ante litteram championship -, against Genoa: the victory smiled on the Ligurians who imposed themselves for 4–0.[1]

Prior to World War II he was exiled to Villeurbanne for political reasons. [2]
