Lazio is the Italian province in which Rome is located. The club's colors are taken from the Greek flag, Greece being the country in which the Olympic sporting tradition began. The eagle on the club's emblem is a nod to the Roman Empire, the eagle being a traditional symbol of the Empire. The original name meant Lazio Athletics Club. It was founded in 1900, a football section being launched two years later. The derby with Roma is regarded as the fiercest in Italian soccer. It was only due to the political connections of their president that the club avoided the 1920s merger into the pan-Rome club AS Roma. Lazio's supporters are predominantly from northern Rome and the interior regions of the province of Lazio. The two clubs share the city's Stadio Olimpico, built for the 1960 Olympics. Previous Stadiums: Piazza d'Armi (1911-14), Rondinella (1914-31), Stadio Nazionale/Stadio PNF (1931-53).
