AS ROMA - LAZIO ROMA

Fans

The Laziali represent the rich, right wing, suburban residents of Rome while the AS Roma fans represent an economically middle class group centralized within the city limits (political left). The biggest insult towards each other is to say that they are not really from Rome. Lazio fans call AS Roma fans the immigrants from the south of Italy while AS Roma fans say that Lazio fans are from the outskirts of the city.
