The passion for Roma supporters surpasses all boundaries with fans all across the globe celebrating Roma’s ups and downs.

Such is the case in Indonesia.

It is there that a couple of parents chose to call their child “Totti De Rossi”, a gesture that testifies to the deep bond with the Giallorossi legends.

Although names like “Francesco” or “Daniele” are also very common among local fans in and around the Italian capital, it is surprising to see a child, living 11,000 km from Rome, bearing such emblematic names.

The love for the Giallorossi colors in South-East Asia is strong, as demonstrated by the warm welcome given to Radja Nainggolan a few months ago upon arrival at the airport by supporters of the Roma Club of Indonesia.

The photo of the boy’s birth certificate was recently published by Sky Sport.
