Juventus were crowned Coppa Italia champions after edging Atalanta 1-0 in the final on Wednesday evening.
Juventus recalled cup goalkeeper Mattia Perin as they were boosted by the return of Danilo and Federico Chiesa, who joined Dusan Vlahovic upfront.
Bianconeri had a perfect start after Vlahovic gave them the lead within the first four minutes with a composed finish in the box after holding off a defender from a pass by Andrea Cambiaso.
Juventus stayed on the front foot and nearly doubled their lead four minutes later from a corner that deflected off Federico Gatti and sailed slightly over the crossbar.
However, Massimiliano Allegri's charges dropped into a low block towards the half-hour mark, as Atalanta tried to a find a way through.
Atalanta continued to have the momentum with half-time approaching but the Juventus defence protected Perin well and were happy to head to the break with a narrow lead.
Atalanta set the tone of their attacks early in the second stanza after Ademola Lookman came close to levelling matters with a deflected shot in the box.
Gian Piero Gasperini still had the momentum towards the hour-mark as Teun Koopmeiners also came close to the equaliser with a header at the near post that missed narrowly wide.
Playing on counter-attacks, Allegri needed fresh legs up top with 20 minutes to go after Kenan Yildiz replaced Chiesa.
Vlahovic thought he had killed the game for Juventus two minutes later after his header from a cross by Cambiaso found the back of the net but the goal was chalked off by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for offside.
For the last ten minutes, Juventus also threw in Arkadiusz Milik in place of Vlahovic for fresh legs upfront.
There was more fireworks towards the end as eight minutes before time Lookman was denied the equaliser for Atalanta by the crossbar.
Fabio Miretti also had a chance to seal it for Juventus two minutes later but his strike also crashed against the crossbar.
In the end Bianconeri desperately held on as they crowned Coppa Italia champions for the 15th time.
