Francesco Totti (born September 27, 1976 in Rome) is an Italian football player, who currently plays for A.S. Roma in Serie A and for the Italian national team, who are the current world champions after winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Francesco Totti’s position is that of a striker or an attacking midfielder, though he’s best known for playing as the “trequartista”, a compromise between the two positions where the player acts as a link between midfield and attack. He is also Roma’s first choice to take free kicks, having scored a number of goals from dead-ball situations.
Totti is widely recognised as the symbol of Roma, having never left the team despite the possibility of playing in stronger and richer clubs, and being the number one goalscorer in the club’s history.
Totti was born and raised in Rome, in the Porta Metronia city neighborhood. His parents are Enzo and Fiorella Totti. Unlike other children his age who preferred to watch cartoons, Totti was always more interested in watching football matches instead. Totti constantly played football with older boys. His mother refused a big deal for her son from A.C. Milan while waiting for a deal from his favourite club A.S. Roma. His mother intended to never let her son step foot out of the “Eternal City”. Totti finally joined the A.S. Roma junior team in 1989.
Totti is married to Ilary Blasi, a former model, who currently works as commentator and host on several RAI TV programmes. The couple had their first baby, named Cristian, on November 6, 2005.
Totti also runs a football school, named Number Ten, and owns a motorcycle racing team called “Totti Top Sport”.
