S.S. Lazio 1900

Que serà serà
forever will be will be
we follow the boys in blues
que serà serà.

It's dedicated to the first club born in the Capital, to my Lazio.

Is 9 January 1900, is the beginning of the century. In a Rome that is moving among the ancient carriages and the first electric trams, nine young friends leaded by Luigi Bigiarelli found a "Tracking Association" on a bench along the Tiber in Piazza della Libertà, Rome. "It can not be named Roma, we should give to it a greatest name, a name which Roma is included: Lazio".
The proposal of Bigiarelli is accepted with enthusiasm from his guys: "Colours will draw inspiration from Greece, land of Olympic Games. White and Blue"...

The Society increased over the years the numbers of sports practised up to become the biggest sports club in Europe.
The symbol of the S.S.Lazio became the Imperial Eagle, emblem of the ancient Roman legions and image of the greatness of Rome in the world. The current symbol of the club is an eagle that supports the white and blue shield with S.S. Lazio writing in it.

The supporters area of the Olympic Stadium of Rome, where to find the hottest and fierced supporters is the "Curva Nord", one of the curved sector behind the goal.The Curva Nord of Lazio can be considered in its own right, one of the most important supporters of soccer club in the world. Solid, powerful, tireless in supporting the team and ready to come out into the streets for the Lazio and the Laziality. Present always, apart from the placings: in Second Division or in Champions League, the support and quality are always of hight level.

Many of us guys lived it, many others gave lustre, over the years many supporters cluster succession; Irriducibili, Vickings, Eagle Supporters, times and names change but the Curva Nord is always there with its sensational power to support the S.S. Lazio for better or for worse.
You love soccer, I styrongly raccomend you to come for a Lazio match, and for any question, ask me.

S.S. Lazio master of Rome.

Experimental Center of Contemporary Culture

On 27 January 1999 a group of Roman guys precarious, immigrants and unemployed, enter into a building owned by the City of Rome, abandoned and in total degradation, giving life to the most central of social centers in Rome.

Rialto Sant'Ambrogio from the begin is shaped up as an occupation "anomalous", in an attempt to develop a different place than previous experiencesin Rome. In few time Rialto is able to obtain a portion of the Monumental Complex di S. Ambrogio in Massima, where is still located.

Defined a "non-State public place" where producing urban culture,Rialto Sant'Ambrogio develops a cultural policy project, open at 360 degrees on all contemporary artistic languages.
Through a program of events that range from theater, music, visual arts, Rialto has become a landmark in Italy for all those artistic experiences "unconventional".

Unfortunately the website is only in Italian, cause you can see the variety of programs: works exposure, film Shorts, live music, theater works and more and more you can find here.
I like to go on weekend because there are always excellent performance of Electronic music with international Djs set until dawn.
The place is structured strange, it looks like an old school and it makes parties very cool.
However it's clean place and safe with a good security service.

Entry costs 5/8 euros and sometimes it's free (depend from the event), there are also two cocktail bar inside and they are quite cheap.
Rialto is placed in the heart of Rome.

You can get there easily walking from the main Roman sites, if you come from Termini train Station get bus 64 or 70.
The address is Via di S. Ambrogio n. 4

This post is dedicated to all fans of Football game, as I am.

Since I was born, I was a supporter of S.S. Lazio. Created in 1900, Lazio is the first team in Rome, perahps less famous of A.S Roma abroad and with fewer fans, but with a spirit of devotion and passion enviable from the major European football club.I love my team, I can feel love, hate, sadness and happiness when it plays,it gives me strong emotions as if it is my second girlfriend. If you are fans as well you can understand these sentiments.

Being in Rome during the football season,why do not go to the stadium to watch a match?

The Olympic Stadium in Rome is located inside the complex's sports Forum Italico including
swimming, tennis and athletic stadiums. Originally named Foro Mussolini it was built during the years of Fascism, between 1928 and 1938, the design had been inspired to the old Imperial Roman Forum. This area covered with white precious marble, mosaics and surrounded by greenery, is very nice to visit.

The football matches tickets can be purchased:
Gate Terminal Art Gallery: Termini Station, in front of platform 24.
Via Pie di Marmo 37, near to Piazza Navona.
Via M. Colonna 37, next to Metro stop Lepanto.
Via Andrea Doria 77, near the Metro station Cipro.
All this places are close to the city. Prices ranges from 20 to 100 euros, it's up on where you want to watch the match. You can also easily buy tickets online from this website, it's reliable.
Worldticketshop.com

If you decide to go to watch the match at the last moment go directly to the stadium, will find always some people selling tickets underhand with an extra charge of 10, 15 euros, need to deal with them.

Get there: From Termini station get bus 910 until the last stop Piazza Mancini, cross the Tiber and you are there. From Metro station Ottaviano bus 32 leave you right in front of the Stadium.
Ask me for any questions.
