AS Roma Traditions

The Italian soccer club AS Roma has a stories history and many traditions. Last year the club, founded in 1927, celebrated its 80th season last seasons. Over the past 80 years the club has developed 2 major fight songs. The first song, “Roma Roma Roma”, is sung by the crowd before the game begins. I unfortunately arrived a few minutes late to the Roma game I attended, so as I was walking up to the Stadio Olimpico I heard the echoes of fans belting out Roma Roma Roma. The other fight song sung by the Roma fans is “Grazie Roma”. This song is sung after every AS Roma victory. With Roma perennially being one of the top 2 or 3 Italian teams, this song is heard quite often throughout a season. Current versions of both songs are sung by Italian recording artist Antonello Venditi.
