AS Roma discovers the talent of Giampaolo Bonifazi, the defender grown up with the Giallorossi colors. Roma has already locked him up with the first professional contract until 2028. Bonifazi is a defender of belonging, natural leader, intense in contrasts, always inside the temperature of the game. He has grown up as one of the references of the Roma 2009, inside a group that has learned to play games with something at stake. For a defender those experiences weigh: final management, responsibility to keep a team short, voice in complicated moments, clarity when the game gets dirty. He is a defender grown up with those colors on, with the character of who knows how to speak to the team and with a physicality that can become a technical trademark. The first big snapshot arrived in June 2024. Roma-Genoa, Under 15 final, Cino e Lillo Del Duca stadium in Ascoli Piceno. Roma wins the category Scudetto and Bonifazi raises the title as captain. Ribbon, group, trophy: a generation of Giallorossi in the center of the season and a defender already called to represent them. From Bon and Zekaj they turn the Genoa: Roma is Champion of Italy! Second half of fire: the Giallorossi first go down, then turn everything around and take the tricolor. That title has fixed an identity.
