Tension between fans at the Olympic Stadium for the quarterfinal derby of the Italian Cup. A faction of the Lazio fans and one of the Roma fans came into contact with a skirmish that saw the launch of several smoke bombs from one side and the other before the game. Tension immediately skyrocketed in one of the most heartfelt matches of the entire Italian championship and which often has been a backdrop of violence inside and outside the Foro Italico facility. At the end of the match, in fact, some Roma supporters clashed with the police in an attempt to reach the Lazio fans at Ponte Milvio.

Smoke bomb throwing, what happens at the Olympic

This is exactly what happened in the minutes preceding the match with Roma and Lazio fans who came into contact throwing several smoke bombs. The skirmish took place between the Tevere Tribune and the South Distinct, with these supporters showing how not to stay in a stadium.

Chaos at Ponte Milvio, Roman salutes from fans

Three days after the straight-arm rally, some Lazio fans, gathered at Ponte Milvio before the match against the Giallorossi, made Roman salutes chanting 'Avanti ragazzi di Buda', an anti-Soviet song from the Fifties. While last night a small far-right group gathered in Piazza dei Mirti, in the Roman district of Centocelle, to remember Alberto Giaquinto, killed on January 10, 1979 during a demonstration on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Acca Larentia massacre. In a video you can see some militants doing the Roman salute. The initiative was launched on his X profile by Ernesto Moroni, president of the revolutionary political movement Frontal Action who had made an appointment last night, posting a poster and the phrase 'memory is honored with action'. And perhaps even these new images could now end up under the attention of the police.

Clashes between police and Roma fans

At the end of the match, there were also attempts by about two hundred Roma fans to reach those of Lazio at Ponte Milvio. Several throws of sticks and stones by the Giallorossi supporters who were dispersed by the police charges.
