Exhibition in Rome – 80 years of AS Roma supporters
AS Roma supporters exhibition celebrates 80 years’ anniversary
As of tomorrow (Monday August 27th) one can visit the exhibition “80 anni di tifo per la Roma”(80 Years a Roma Supporter) Pavillion 9/c of the ex-Mattatoio (ex-Slaughterhouse) in the quarter Testaccio (not coincidentally one of the most quintessentially Roman quarters of the city of Rome).
The exhibition will continue until September 15th and is opened from Monday till Friday from 6pm till midnight and during the weekends from 10am till midnight.
Banners, balls and crutches
The 27 stands, together occupying 1500 square meters of space, each relate an aspect of AS Roma’s history, particularly of course the 3 championships won by the team.
Over 3000 photographs, 500 objects and hundreds of statistics relate AS Roma’s history. Apart from the obligatory banners and shirts there are also (at least for Roma’s tifosi) important relics like the autographed ball of the second scudetto (championship), shoes and shirts of famous players from the past and of course Francesco Totti: the shirt he wore when Roma won the Italian supercup a couple of weeks ago, the crutches he used during his injury two years ago, and the shirt in which he won the world cup, the only relic in the exhibition that is not colored yellow and red.
