Well, I wouldn't say there's any strong opinion about it. Some other fans make fun of us for it, but it comes down to how well they run the club. Since you cannot count on a rich individual (Moratti/Berlusconi) always having the money and passion to run a team that requires a *lot* of investiments and dedication, we have understood that being owned by a large company is the lesser of two evils. Football has
become an international business so it's very hard for local businessmen to run a football team. Juventus is backed by FIAT so they will always be solid. On the other hand, with Moratti and Berlusconi in their 70s, we realized that there was no other option.
yeah it seems Italian clubs have historically had owners. In my country clubs usually don't have owners but chairmen/presidents which are elected by the fans who are paid registered members. It's only a matter of time until one of the bigger clubs here end up having an owner, though. And tbh, some presidents have been leading the same club for several years now, so it's almost likw they're owners.
A lot of European football fans are against rich Arabs and Americans buying clubs, and not against rich owners from their own countries doing so. That's an understandable fear, imo, since you never know if they're interested in making the club successful or use it as their own laundry.
