Mrs. Gregori, 98 years old as the team of the heart, a fan from the time of Campo Testaccio, will be in the grandstand for the match with Bologna together with the 14 -year grain
Born in 1927 and with a great Giallorossi passion that does not stop growing and that rather transmits to his whole family. Tomorrow at the Olimpico against Bologna, Rome will have a special peer at their side. We are talking about Rosella Gregori, Romana for seven generations who at the age of 98 will be in the stands together with his grandson 14 to see his Rome again closely. To do this they will leave from home to the sea, in Santa Marinella, even if Rosella lives in the beautiful Coppedè district. A return to the stadium that makes you move and that probably records an absolute record as a longest -lived fan in the stands. Nonna Rosella was born on September 4, 1927, so shortly after a month the foundation of Rome took place on 22 July of the same year. And of home games very few are lost.

From an early age he was present in the stands of the Testaccio stadium to admire legends such as Masetti, Bernardini and Amadei before living the first Scudetto of 1942 in the middle of the Second World War. A life ago, but Romanist lives have passed many. He saw the year of relegation in 1951, the Fairs Cup ten years after Losi and the birth of Dino Viola’s great Rome. He cheered for De Sisti, Bruno Conti, of Bartolomei, Falcao before the second championship of 1983. The year he died 56 candles. Then Giannini, Voeller and Aldair until the advent of senses and above all of Totti who made him return dreamy and a child. In the year of the third Scudetto in 2001 he was 74 years old. Also in that season there was no lack of the stadium and he did not do it even in the following years when his Rome made Europe shine with Spalletti before the advent of the Americans.

Then the desire to convey that passion to his nephew Edoardo Orlando to whom every year as a gift for the “promotion” he runs to renew his subscription in the stands without missing a special scarf every year, obviously tailored to the hands of Nonna Rosella. “Like every year, I will go to the stadium with ‘Grande Grande’ at the first game of Rome played at home. There will also be all my family, also including Aunt Adriana who is President of Rome Club Luxembourg and who follows the team all over the world. I can’t wait to share emotions and victories with her and shout together”, the little Edoardo confided to us. The goal of “Grandma Grande” is to live another Scudetto and toast together with the 100th anniversary of his Rome. Time is not lacking.
