Allegri was sacked on Friday, two days after berating the referees while winning the Italian Cup final. U19 coach Pablo Montero agreed to oversee Juve's last two games.
Bologna, third, and Juventus, fourth on goal difference, had already qualified for the Champions League next season but played like they hadn't.
A double by Riccardo Calafiori at Renato Dall'Ara Stadium on Monday (Tuesday AEST) helped a dominant Bologna to 3-0, and in their grasp was a first home win over Juve in 26 years.
But Juventus began their comeback with 14 minutes left, starting with Federico Chiesa's goal. Within eight more minutes, Arkadiusz Milik struck from a free kick and the equaliser cam via Kenan Yildiz, the 19-year-old forward who Juve consider a star in the making.
In this breakthrough season, Yildiz debuted for Juventus and became their youngest foreign scorer, and debuted and scored for European Championship-bound Turkey.
At the other end of the table Hellas Verona secured a place in next year's top flight after beating Salernitana 2-1.
Marco Baroni's men are four points clear of the relegation zone with one game to go.
Salernitana and Sassuolo are already down and Verona's win means Udinese, Empoli, Frosinone and Cagliari are fighting to avoid joining them.
Tomas Suslov's second goal in the league was the opener, and Darko Lazovic crossed for Michael Folorunsho to poke home from close range on the stroke of halftime.
Giulio Maggiore scored a consolation for the home side in the final minute.
