Early Life
Marchisio was born in Turin and raised in Andezeno, a comune not far from the city, the youngest child in a family of Juventus fans. His family were season ticket holders and he used to be a ball boy at the Stadio Delle Alpi. As a child, he was interested in various sports and joined the youth football team at Fiat's satellite sports club Sisport where he was later scouted by Juventus youth coaches at age of seven.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“The woods were as fresh and full of vegetable life as a lichen in wet weather, and contained many interesting plants; but unless they are of white pine, they are treated with as little respect here as a mildew, and in the other case they are only the more quickly cut down.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
