De La Pena Ivan
Did you Know?
This shirt was worn by Ivan De La Pena during the Serie A game between Lazio and Parma which took place in Roma, “Stadio Olimpico”, on May 23rd 1999 that was the last game of the season. Lazio defeated Parma 2-1 but it was not enough to win the Serie A title over A.C.Milan. Milan peaked late during the season, while Lazio had a barren spell, which enabled Milan to make up the deficit. Lazio finally squandered the title lead in the penultimate match of the season, where it had to settle for a draw against Fiorentina away from home. This shirt, together with other player’s ones, was auctioned after the game directly by S.S.Lazio that also “certified” it as match worn adding an extra inside tag with match details printed on. De la Peña joined Lazio in the summer of 1998. He fell out of favour at F.C. Barcelona after the arrival of the Dutch coach, Louis van Gaal, and he was consequently transferred to S.S. Lazio, along with Fernando Couto. However, he failed to establish himself in Serie A and was loaned to Olympique de Marseille during the 1999–00 season.

Lazio tied 0-0 and at the end of the game Nesta swapped his shirt with a Reggina’s player whom we got it from. In the 1999–2000 season he led Lazio to the Scudetto and Coppa Italia, winning the double. During the 2000–01 season, under Dino Zoff, Lazio won the Supercoppa Italiana and finished third in Serie A. Nesta’s performances and success for Lazio during this period earned him three consecutive Serie A Defender of the Year awards between 2000 and 2002. Financial problems for Lazio and its then-president Sergio Cragnotti led to the sale of Nesta to Milan in 2002. Nesta left the club with a backlog salary of €2 million, half of which were converted into shares of the Biancocelesti club.

This shirt was worn by Diego Simeone during Reggina vs Lazio which took place in Reggio Calabria, “Oreste Granillo” Stadium, on April 14th 2001. Lazio defeated Reggina 2-0 and Simeone swapped his shirt after the game with a Reggina’s player who we got it from.

In 1999, Simeone joined fellow Argentines Néstor Sensini, Matías Almeyda, Hernán Crespo and Juan Sebastián Verón at Sven-Göran Eriksson’s Lazio. The side had gone close to the Scudetto in the season before Simeone’s arrival and he helped deliver the championship after a season, where Juventus led the standings by two points going into the last day. A Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazio’s comfortable home win over Reggina at the Stadio Olimpico ensured Simeone’s first Serie A title. After winning the double in Spain, he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia. He went on to play three more seasons in Rome, which included more last day drama as Simeone’s goal against former club Inter on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers’ title dream.

2000-2001 was the season of the S.S. Lazio’s centenary. A white celebrating shirt with a 100’s logo on chest was used by the team. But something on the shirt was very weird. The scudetto badge was sewn on a Puma logo on chest which is not visible. The reason? Puma made this style of shirt some months before the end of the Serie A 1999-2000. But they couldn’t expect that Lazio was going to win the title so the Puma logo was on left side. Once the team won the Scudetto, Lazio wanted to have the Scudetto on regular left side. So Puma added a new Puma logo in the middle chest and let the Scudetto badge covering the previous one.

Castroman Lucas
Things to Know:
This shirt was issued for Lucas Castroman for the game against Internazionale F.C. which took place on 5 May 2002. This date is definitely an unbelievable date for the Italian football. On this day Juventus completed a remarkable run to the Serie A title, thanks in part to a season-end collapse by Inter.
It was the last day of the season and Inter had been at the top of the table since 24 March. On 30 March, they had a six-point lead over Juventus, who were then in third, with Roma in between. But Juve went on an unbeaten run to climb into second, while an Inter loss to Atalanta and draw with Chievo saw their lead shrink to a single point. Roma had dropped to third, but were separated from the top by only two points. All three teams were away for their final matches of the season, Inter at Lazio, Juventus at Udinese, and Roma at Torino. In his pre-match conference, Roma manager Fabio Capello took a fatalistic approach to the day, saying that he expected all three teams to win, leaving the table unchanged. As it turned out, he was two-thirds correct. Both Juventus and Roma went on to win–0-2 and 0-1, respectively–but Inter fell hard to Lazio. Despite taking a 1-2 lead in the first half, they went into the break level at 2-2, then surrendered a pair of second-half goals to fall 4-2. The results pushed Juventus into first, Roma into second, and Inter into third.

Nesta was first discovered by Francesco Rocca, a scout for Roma, but his father, a Lazio fan, turned down the offer. He began his youth career with Lazio in 1985, playing in various roles, including as a striker and midfielder, before being placed in the role of a defender. In the 1993–94 season he was called up to the first team, and on 13 March 1994 he made his debut in a 2–2 away draw against Udinese; Nesta came on for Pierluigi Casiraghi during the 78th minute.

He kept playing at a very high level, being generally considered the best Italian goalkeeper behind Gianluigi Buffon. This shier was issued by Angelo Peruzzi and it is a quite weird shirt since it is a previous 2001-2002 model, prepared for the early games of the season 2002-2003 with the right season’s name set and number.

Things to Know:
Even though he had already signed an extension to his Charlton contract, in August 2004 Di Canio returned to his home team of Lazio taking a massive paycut in order to return to the economically stretched Roman team. Lazio fans were happy to have a Rome-bred Lazio supporter in the team again, something missing since the departure of Alessandro Nesta in 2002. He scored in the Rome derby, just as he had in 1989, leading the team to a 3–1 victory over A.S. Roma in January (6 January 2005). However the negative publicity that Di Canio generated for Lazio, including his intimate relationship with club’s ultras and their increased influence thanks to his presence in the team, coupled with problems with some teammates and coaches, exasperated club president and majority shareholder, Claudio Lotito, with whom he already had a difficult relationship. As a result, Di Canio’s contract was not renewed in the summer of 2006
Things to Know:
During several of his games for Lazio, Di Canio made a fascist salute to their right-wing fan. His use of the Roman salute toward Lazio supporters, a gesture adopted by Italian fascists in the 20th century, has created controversy. Documented uses of the salute include in matches against arch-rivals Roma and Livorno, a club inclined to left-wing politics. Di Canio received a one-match ban after the second event and was fined €7,000. He was later quoted as saying, “I will always salute as I did because it gives me a sense of belonging to my people … I saluted my people with what for me is a sign of belonging to a group that holds true values, values of civility against the standardisation that this society imposes upon us.” His salute has been featured on unofficial merchandise sold outside Stadio Olimpico after the ban.

On 2 December, Klose scored his ninth goal of the season, securing a 2–1 victory over Parma, lifting Lazio into fourth place in Serie A. Two weeks later, on 15 December, he scored a late goal to send his side to a 1–0 victory over second-placed Internazionale, reducing the gap between the two sides in the league table to one point.

This shirt was worn by Silvio Proto during the Serie A game between Lazio and Internazionale which took place in Roma, “Stadio Olimpico”, on October 29th 2018. Internazionale defeated Lazio 3-0. Silvio Proto was the substitute goalkeeper of Thomas Strakosha. This is a special shirt with special numbers on the back used by the team in this game only. The game against Inter was the match in which the winners of Lazio’s “Scendi in campo con la Lazio” competition (Come on the pitch with Lazio”) got their moment of glory. The competition, announced back at the beginning of October, very simply invited fans to send in pictures of themselves, with the winning entries then being placed in a mosaic in the numbers that the players wore. The move was a great way for the club to further connect with their already passionate fans; the biancocelesti literally walking out with their fans faces on their backs. Unfortunately it was not enough to inspire them to victory, Inter taking the three points with a resounding 0-3 win. Despite the result, it was another nice initiative from the Lazio marketing department, following on from a few years ago when the they engaged supporters in a similar way by having season ticket holders’ names on the players’ shirts ahead of a Rome derby. Moves like this add another level of connection between fans and clubs, and it would be great to see more clubs taking a cue from Lazio’s efforts.
