Fratelli Rossetti become club's latest partner

Fratelli Rossetti shoes will be worn by the squad on all official club engagements in the 2017-18 season, bringing the brand’s trademark elegance and profoundly Italian identity to the AS Roma family.

It will be the very first time AS Roma have worn Fratelli Rossetti footwear. The shoes will be personalised with the name of every player and made to measure to suit their every need.

“We are proud to have agreed a partnership with AS Roma, a club that represents Italy all over the world,” said Luca Rossetti, who runs Fratelli Rossetti alongside his brothers Diego and Dario.

“The idea is to link our brand to the world of sport, which was our father Renzo’s first love. Not many people know this, when Fratelli Rossetti started out in the footwear industry we began by producing sports shoes.”

"We’re absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Fratelli Rossetti – a fantastic Italian company – to the AS Roma family,” added AS Roma CEO Umberto Gandini.

“Not only will this partnership supply our first team with elegant, quality shoes, but it will enable us to once again underline our concept of style both on and off the pitch.”

Fratelli Rossetti was founded in 1953 by the visionary Renzo Rossetti in Parabiago, on the outskirts of Milan, at a time in which Italy was taking its first steps into the organised fashion industry.

The company is now run by the second generation of the family – brothers Diego, Dario and Luca – whose passion and hands-on approach have enabled the company to build up over 60 years of quality footwear production experience.

Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with style both in Italy and around the world, its reputation as a standard bearer of master craftsmanship assured.
