Today the maximum expression of Italian football reminds man, the musician, the great Ennio Morricone. His music and his art di lui go beyond life and fix themselves in memory for eternity.

Serie A, but also passion for Rome

Ennio Morricone is known for his music but in life he also loved the game of chess. In fact, as few know, Morricone was in the second national category. It is a youthful passion, which was born in him at 18 years old, after reading a simple manual. But the well-known composer was also a football fan. He was also a fan of the AS Rome. It is a sad day for the whole world of Serie A but even sadder for the Romanist one. Ennio Morricone, historic Roma fan, leaves a huge void. An emptiness that the Giallorossi people want to fill with their greetings, wishing the Morricone a good trip. The music, for the Giallorossi team playing at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, will be an extra boost for the boys especially on this championship and mourning day. The Olimpico is without fans due to the anti-Covid rules, but Morricone's presence will be felt throughout the stadium.
