He was a pupil of the in Milan; in the same city, Cobolli Gigli graduated in economics and commerce at the Bocconi University.[5]

He became the general manager of that company in 1984; as RCS Group became stockholder of the Fabbri Editorial Group, in 1991, he was named CEO of Rizzoli's book sector in 1991.

Juventus F.C.

In the wake of the controversial Calciopoli scandal, Cobolli Gigli became the chairman of the board of Juventus;[10] [11] [12] being both the most supported and hated club in the country, one of the goals upon taking over Juventus was to be nice and more likeable.[4] [13] He completed the new triade along with Jean-Claude Blanc (managing director) and Alessio Secco (director of sport), which led Juventus back to the UEFA Champions League but they were not able to return the club to win Serie A or any other trophies,[14] [15] [16] and left the position to Blanc in 2009.[17] [18] In 2010, Blanc was succeeded by Andrea Agnelli, who, along with Giuseppe Marotta as new director of sport, returned Juventus to dominance;[19] in the aftermath of Calciopoli bis and the Calciopoli trials that acquitted the club, Agnelli also took a more radical and anti-system position compared to Cobolli Gigli, who was a moderate, and Gianni Agnelli's designed heir John Elkann,[20] who is a reformist.[21]

Cobolli Gigli's role in the aftermath of Calciopoli has been questioned and criticized. Several observers allege that Calciopoli and its aftermath were a dispute within Juventus and between the club's owners, who put Cobolli Gigli in charge, favoured Elkann over Agnelli as chairman, and wanted to get rid of Luciano Moggi, Antonio Giraudo,[22] [23] and Roberto Bettega, whose shares in the club increased,[24] Whatever their intentions, it is argued they condemned Juventus, firstly when Carlo Zaccone, the club's lawyer,[25] agreed for relegation to Serie B and point-deduction, and secondly when Luca Cordero di Montezemolo controversially retired the club's appeal to the (TAR) of Lazio,[26] for which then FIFA president Sepp Blatter thanked Montezemolo, and that could have cleared the club's name and avoid relegation,[27] [28] after FIFA and UEFA threatened to suspend the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) from international play.[29] [30] [31] In September 2006, Cobolli Gigli took a U-turn from his previous statements,[32] [33] and led the moderate line to have the club controversially renounce the TAR's appeal; then CONI president Gianni Petrucci thanked Elkann and Montezemolo.[34]

The lack of TAR appeal, which is one of the reasons for which the club's appeals to return the 2005 and 2006 scudetti and FIGC damage claims all failed, amounted to a sort of public plea bargain and guilty admission; however, the club was later acquitted in the first ordinary justice proceedings,[35] [36] and Juventus were not liable by other clubs,[37] [38] as the 2004–06 leagues were regular.[39] [40] The initial view was that Juventus were the main culprit,[41] and referees, Inter Milan, and other clubs the victims.[42] As early as 2010, when many other clubs were implicated and Inter Milan, Livorno, and Milan were liable of direct Article 6 violations (the one about illicits warranting relegation; Juventus were never charged of Article 6 violations) in the 2011 Palazzi Report but were time-barred by the statute of limitations and could not be put on trial,[43] [44] [45] Juventus considered challenging the non-assignment of the 2005 title and the 2006 title assignment of third-placed Inter Milan, dependent on the results of Calciopoli trials connected to the scandal.[46] In July 2011, the FIGC declared itself not competent to rule on the decision and the title remained to Inter Milan, as Juventus claimed €443 million in damage claims.[47]

Cobolli Gigli came to agree on the criticism.[48] In May 2018, he said that Inter Milan "deserved to be punished" for Calciopoli, and expressed regrets for the sporting trials, about which he said: "We were demoted to play the 2006–07 season in Serie B and accepted the ruling. The regret remains for a sporting trial that was, in my view, not conducted in the best way. Certain pieces of evidence were ignored, actually it's more accurate to say hidden, and the existence of other telephone wiretaps regarding different clubs wasn't made known at the time. Inter [Milan] too deserved to be punished for what emerged in the various conversations. The FIGC Prosecutor Palazzi said so. It all emerged when the matter missed the statute of limitations and it ended like that."[49]

Cobolli Gigli remains a commentator for Juventus affairs.[50] [51] [52] About the capital gains scandal of the 2020s,[53] [54] which led to Agnelli's resignation, about which Cobolli Gigli said was forced,[55] he cited the Calciopoli unequal treatment and criticized the fact that only Juventus were punished.[56] Videos emerged of Ciro Santoriello, the capital gains case's prosecutor, mocking Juve; he declared himself a tifoso of Napoli and an anti-Juventus prosecutor. In response, Cobolli Gigli said: "Benigni reminded us that Article 21, on freedom of thought, is the most important. However, the manifestation of one's ideas must always be limited to one's duties. Therefore, I believe that if these gentlemen want to express their thoughts, they must do so without playing the roles they currently do. Santoriello should have kept his feelings to himself as a judge, Juve's acquittal on that occasion counts for little."[57]

In recent years, with Andrea Agnelli at the helm, Juventus have taken an anti-system position: outside the government of the Lega Serie A, outside the ECA (the association of European clubs which was chaired by Agnelli), in contrast with UEFA, and projected on the Superlega project. Now, the club is proposing to open a dialogue on reforms. 'I hope that together with the other teams and the government we can change football in our country, to build a sustainable and ambitious future ... . Juventus are not the problem, but they are and will always be part of the solution. Here it is in play the future of Serie A and of Italian football, which is becoming marginal and irrelevant.'.

We don't have certain elements to be able to say that at that moment there was an attempt to take over Juventus, but those figures are impressive. Furthermore, there are some anomalies of the Agnellis which leave the door open to this type of hypothesis. The Calciopoli investigation was born out of a Turin investigation by the prosecutor Guariniello on the Juventus doping case, [in which] the interceptions of Moggi's conversations with the referees emerge. Guariniello sends the files to the boss Maddalena, notes that there are no crimes from a criminal point of view, but perhaps from a sporting point of view. Maddalena keeps the files for three months, then sends them to the [Italian] Football Federation. This period lasts a little over a year. Do you really [want to believe] that Juve didn't know what was going on? I have the impression that the Agnelli family took advantage of this opportunity to stop an attempt to take over the Moggi-Giraudo-Bettega company..

Everyone stigmatizes the change of course by waving Zaccone's answer to Ruperto, but with little correctness, because they use only a fragment of the answer, altering its complete meaning. Zaccone had replied: 'The sanction accepted, indeed suffered but acceptable, is the one proposed for the other clubs to which the same objections are made, even if in greater numbers than us. Therefore, Serie B with penalty points.' ... Giovanni Cobolli Gigli: 'This morning we sent the appeal to the prosecutors and by tomorrow it will be filed with the TAR which will examine it and will have to inform us of a date. A date that could be brought forward with respect to 6 September, for our good and that of all. We have already notified appeal to all interested parties.' ... It's a right, but above all a duty towards Juventus fans, who are 25% of all Italian fans. We are aware that we are living in a situation of relative tension, but we are not scared. [Remaining in Serie] A would be a satisfaction for the club, the fans, and the shareholders: it is a championship that belongs to us. I continue with absolute calm to explain that there has been an inequality of treatment between Juve and the other clubs. Furthermore, the Serie B [penalty would be] a difficult economic situation [that] would result in a much higher penalty than one that any other team could bear.' ... 'We have thirty days starting from 18 August and we have the right, given that the conciliation did not take place', and he recalled the outcome of the appeal by the former Juventus CEO Antonio Giraudo and the former managing director Luciano Moggi: 'There is no 'it is doubtful whether the TAR has declared itself competent to accept questions of this type, especially ours, therefore, which has a much greater weight.'.

A small group of fans met outside the Juventus headquarters and targeted Cobolli Gigli and Blanc. 'You have ruined a hundred years of history', ... Then the words of coach Deschamps at the end of the Tim trophy at San Siro are striking: 'The players and I have some difficulty understanding, maybe we don't know everything, but we don't understand the reason for the appeal withdrawn.

Indeed, there has been a change. But Federcalcio and Coni have not provided any precise guarantee to Juventus. 'There was no negotiation,' they said from via Allegri. Rossi, however, did not hide his satisfaction with the intention of the lost sheep returned to the fold to participate actively in the renewal and organization of football.

Finally point 1), the so-called positive part of the motivations, that is, in fact everything is regular. And then the scandal of 'Scommettopoli' [the Italian football scandal of 2011] in which it's coming out that the 2010–2011 championship [won by Milan] as a whole with tricks is to be considered really and decidedly irregular? The Chief Prosecutor of Cremona, Di Martino, says so for now, while sports justice takes its time as always, but I fear that many will soon repeat it, unless everything is silenced. With all due respect to those who want the truth and think that Moggi has objectively become the 'scapegoat'. Does the framework of information that does not investigate, analyze, compare, and take sides out of ignorance or bias seem slightly clearer to you?.

Juventus have been acquitted, the offending championships (2004/2005 and 2005/2006) have been declared regular, and the reasons for the conviction of Luciano Moggi are vague; mostly, they condemn his position, that he was in a position to commit a crime. In short, be careful to enter a shop without surveillance because even if you don't steal, you would have had the opportunity. And go on to explain to your friends that you're honest people after the morbid and pro-sales campaign of the newspapers. ... a company has been acquitted, and no one has heard of it, and whoever has heard of it, they don't accept it. The verdict of 2006, made in a hurry, was acceptable, that of Naples was not. The problem then lies not so much in vulgar journalism as in readers who accept the truths that are convenient. Juventus was, rightly or wrongly, the best justification for the failures of others, and it was in popular sentiment, as evidenced by the new controversies concerning 'The System.' But how? Wasn't the rotten erased? The referees since 2006 make mistakes in good faith, the word of Massimo Moratti (the only 'honest'). ... it isn't a question of tifo, but of a critical spirit, of the desire to deepen and not be satisfied with the headlines (as did Oliviero Beha, a well-known Viola [Fiorentina] fan, who, however, drew conclusions outside the chorus because, despite enjoying it as a tifoso, he suffered as a journalist. He wasn't satisfied and went into depth. He was one of the few)..

That is, there are the famous 'barbecues', or the telephone calls between Moggi and the designator Bergamo, during which the two established the referees to be included in the drawing scheme. Phone calls that have particularly affected the Cassation which cites them as an example of pollution. In short, the fact that other managers (Meani from Milan, Facchetti from Inter, just to give an example, but the list could be long) also called Bergamo to plead their case and explicitly ask this or that referee isn't taken into consideration (Collina, for example...). But then, how many domes were there?

In a series of consistent courtroom releases, Luciano Moggi's defence team unravelled not tens, not hundreds, but thousands upon thousands of calls between the referee designators and the directors and/or coaches of every team in Serie A and beyond, including Inter. All during the same 'incriminated' period that saw Juventus punished. The code of conduct in 2006 did not oppose dialogue between designators and directors; in fact the league officials encouraged it in order to maintain good relations between teams and the AIA (Italian Referee Association). The calls themselves, as a result, were not always incriminating but their mere existence meant that the theory of Juventus' 'exclusivity' could no longer hold. Up until that point nothing directly incriminating had ever been heard by any director. The new calls that Moggi's lawyers released, however, were full of other directors making referee requests, direct referee contact, proposals for secret meetings between referees and directors in closed restaurants and banks, and so on..
