The player: Daniele De Rossi

Daniele De Rossi, born in Rome on July 24, 1983, is one of the most representative midfielders in the history of Italian football and the absolute symbol of Roman football identity. Having grown up in the Giallorossi youth academy, from the 2005/2006 season he chose to wear the number 16 jersey, which would accompany him until the end of his career with the Giallorossi in 2019, after 18 seasons and over 600 appearances. Precisely in the 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 seasons, under the guidance of Luciano Spalletti, De Rossi was one of the protagonists of a Roma team capable of winning two consecutive Coppa Italia against Inter, as well as the 2007 Italian Supercup. World Champion in 2006 with the Italian National team, captain of Roma from 2017, De Rossi remains one of the most loved and representative players in the club's history. This number 16 jersey, with the rosette of the two consecutive national trophies, therefore represents a sporting document of one of the most successful periods of his career with the Giallorossi.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a certain player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, match-grade cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supplies. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and inferior only to the Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of the highest historical and commercial value, further enhanced in this case by the Coppa Italia rosette, a rare detail reserved exclusively for the seasons in which the trophy was held.
