The Story
Not to be confused with the English football hooligan, the UltraS are the hardcore subculture of fans at the two main Rome football clubs AS Roma and SS Lazio. With neofascist sympathies, these groups (the Boys at Roma and the Irriducibili at Lazio) are political and wellorganised. Following years of undercover work and interviews with the leading figures within the organizations, Gary Armstrong and Alberto Testa have written a fascinating expose and examination of the UltraS. A unique and terrifying study of a group that had not been examined in depth before now.
