The match between Lazio and Roma last night raised serious public order problems, with incidents all taking place outside the Olympic stadium.

The first serious episode , which follows the controversy over the Roman salutes at the commemoration for three young people from the Youth Front killed in Acca Larentia in 1978, happened at Ponte Milvio, where a group of Biancocelesti fans met before going to the stadium Olimpico : here they made the fascist salute by singing "Forward guys from Buda", a Hungarian song from the 1950s against the Soviet dictatorship which is counted among the songs of right-wing extremism. "Hidden among the school books I too will carry a gun", says a verse of the song. After the match won by Lazio, some Roma fans were the protagonists of moments of tension: two groups of two hundred people each attempted to reach the Ponte Milvio area while the outflow from the stadium was underway, to come into contact with the Lazio fans . There were also stones and firecrackers thrown at the police, who however managed to prevent contact and responded with some charges, dispersing the attackers.

Then the raid by a group of Lazio fans in a pub usually frequented by Giallorossi supporters . Armed with sticks, they damaged the furnishings and stabbed a customer, who intervened together with the owner to block them. The man was injured in the abdomen and hospitalized in intensive care . It wouldn't be life threatening. The episode occurred around midnight in a room on Viale Angelico, not far from the stadium.

Three fans have been stopped by the police following the riots and their whereabouts are under investigation. Investigations have been launched to trace the other participants in the clashes.
