The beginningIn the spring of 1927, to the great pleasure of sports lovers in Rome, Associazione Sportiva Roma was born, following the merger of three Rome-based sports clubs: Fortitudo-ProRoma, Football Club di Roma, and Alba-Audace.
As reported via the major daily newspapers of the time - including Il Messaggero and the Rome edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport - the agreement was reached on the historic night of 7 June 1927.
It was decided that Italo Foschi would become the club's first president, with Foschi having already held several meetings in the previous months among the three clubs with the aim of bringing Rome sportsmen together to create a great team capable of beating the northern sides.
The new club took on the Capitoline Wolf symbol for its crest and colours of the city - yellow and red - beloved by people of the old districts and the city suburbs.
On 22 July 1927 it was Foschi who signed the Ordine del Giorno n.1, structuring and dividing the club into three main areas: sports operations, finance and headquarters.
