Turicchia began playing youth football for local club Borgo Tossignano,[3] and Casalfiumanese[4] before joining Imolese, where he played for three years.[5] In 2014, he moved to Cesena, before joining Juventus' youth setup.[5]
On 9 October 2021, Turicchia made his unofficial debut for Juventus in a 2–1 home win against Alessandria coming on as substitute in the 63rd minute.[6] On 24 October, Turicchia made his professional debut for Juventus U23—the reserve team of Juventus—in a 1–1 home draw against Pro Sesto, coming on as substitute in the 84th minute.[7] He spent the 2021–22 season playing for Juventus U19, scoring eight goals in 39 matches, and helped the U19s reach the UEFA Youth League semifinals, their best-ever placing in the competition.[8][9]
On 8 November, he renewed with Juventus till 2025.[10]
Turicchia is a generous player.[according to whom?] For this reason, beside his natural role of left back, he played several times as left winger and even central midfielder[11]
