“The notion that I am a Roma fan is an urban legend. I was never a Roma fan,” declared the Italian senator.

“I’ve been a Lazio fan since the age of 5. I had a nanny who, when she took me for a walk, she would meet her boyfriend fleetingly, who among other things was a baker. And he, perhaps to distract me, asked me what team I was from and then told me: “you must be from Lazio!”. And so I became a Lazio supporter.”

“If I had been a Roma fan I wouldn’t have put in the passion, the determination, and I wouldn’t have endured everything I have endured and still continue to endure as a Lazio fan.”
