Roma - Genoa

There is of course no better way to wrap up a semester (yes, that's the calendar here) than to catch a home game at the Stadio Olimpico.

Rome was playing Genoa this afternoon so a squadron of us went out to catch the event.



The best element of the whole game was the sheer volume in the stadium: with Rome building on a lead from the 26th minute on, the energy level only kept increasing.

A.S. Roma ended the game handily 3-0, causing the entire crowd to break out in an enthusiastic rendition of the team anthem.

Returning via Piazza del Popolo:
