Fan who responded to Rome fire receives message from Totti

On Wednesday evening, a fire ripped through an apartment in the Centocelle section of Rome, leaving four people injured.

But things could have been a lot worse were it not for 25-year-old Catarucci – who rushed to the aid of those trapped in the apartment and helped them to escape.

Catarucci suffered from smoke inhalation as a result of his actions.

A huge Roma fan – travelling home and away to follow the team - as news of his brave response spread Catarucci received a special message from his hero, Totti.

“Hi Daniele! I wanted to say hello and well done on the great thing you did,” Totti said.

“You are very impressive. A big hug from me.”
