The indistinguishable colors, although all four had their faces covered, leave no doubt for him: «They were Lazio fans, it was very clear from the colors they were wearing». For Gonario Fiore, who occasionally works as a barista at the “Clover pub” on Viale Angelico, the men who entered the pub after the Derby were Lazio fans. And they randomly attacked the “opponent” Roma fans. While the investigations of the Digos are just beginning, the man tries to explain (even if an explanation can hardly be given) what happened. «I heard that already in the afternoon, around the pub, a group of boys had been seen - recalls Mr. Gonario - then these four entered, hooded, and began to destroy what was inside the pub and hit this person who then said they were in possession of screwdrivers and from what I know they were not knives». The “Cloverpub”, as already mentioned, is a place where Roma fans gather. «Obviously these after the game, after a while because it was just past midnight they waited, in my opinion, to be able to act and do what they wanted to do because this is anyway the pub of the Roma fans».

The owner of the place is not in danger, «he was hit in the liver but I talked to him, he's fine», continues Fiore. There is no doubt that the aggressors were Lazio fans? «They certainly were - he continues - because an aggression of this kind cannot be done by other people and it was exclusively them, because it was understood from the various colors they were wearing. The owner when he saw the scene got in the middle and it is normal that he defends his property but they took over». Inside the pub near a table there are still traces of blood and the broken glass of some windows and glasses. «I was amazed at what happens with football matches, where you only think about slaughtering each other - concludes Mr. Gonario - I am not a fan of Roma or Lazio but hearing and seeing these situations is the most depressing thing that can exist in the world».

The Clover Pub states the following: «Mr. Gonario Fiore is not, nor has he ever been, a partner of the pub, nor holder of any managerial position. As such he cannot credit himself as co-owner of the Clover Pub, as he has done in previous statements. He was also not present at the events referred to in the article and therefore his statements on what happened can only be indirect information, presumably collected by him in the neighborhood and autonomously reworked».
