Alessandro Nesta recently spoke candidly on Gianluca Gazzoli’s BSMT radio show and retraced his entire career. Among the many topics covered, some – particularly more than others – captured the attention of Lazio and Giallorossi fans alike.

In one of those, Nesta revealed that Roma have always been a lifelong rival dating back to when he was a child. While everyone in his family’s apartment building were I Lupi followers, the Nestas were the only Lazio fans.

The former Lazio captain told an interesting anecdote about choosing the Biancocelesti over their Giallorossi cousins: “My father turned down Roma, we’re proud of that. My family is deeply Lazio.”
