Football, Fascism and Fandom: The UltraS of Italian Football
Not to be confused with the English football 'hooligan,' the UltraS are the hard-core subculture of fans at the two main Rome football clubs — AS Roma and SS Lazio. With neo-fascist sympathies, these groups (the Boys at Roma and the Irriducibili at Lazio) are political and well-organised. Following years of undercover work and interviews with the leading figures within the organizations, Gary Armstrong and Alberto Testa have written a fascinating expose and examination of the UltraS. A unique and terrifying study of a group that had not been examined in depth before now.
