Rome: Italy-All Blacks Rugby Match

The highly awaited match between the Azzurri (Italy’s national rugby team) and the All Blacks, three-time world champions, returned to Italy after 4 years: the current holders of the Rugby World Cup took to the pitch in the Olimpico Stadium in Rome for an event that attracted a large audience of fans and others just curious.
The last appearance of the All Blacks in Italy dates back to the sold-out match in November 2012, with 80,000 spectators joined by millions of television viewers.
It was much more than a sporting match, it was an event that goes beyond the rugby dimension and, as always, attracted a cross-cutting sector of public opinion, sportsmen/women in general, sympathisers and the curious.
