The red and yellow décor in part of Massimo Musumeci’s house suggests that he is a fan of AS Roma. To know for sure, ask him about the time when severe weather called for an evacuation, and he immediately grabbed his most prized items: his collection of scarves and shirts in team colors.

Or how he asked that a christening (and he was a godfather!) and the reception following a family member’s marriage (and it was his mother’s remarriage!!) be rescheduled so he could attend Roma games at the stadium in Rome. Or his burial plans: in Rome, with a Roma jersey in his coffin.
