Bruno Ripepi, a pioneering radio broadcaster and commentator who became an iconic voice in Roma's media landscape, has died at 80 following a prolonged illness. Ripepi was a prominent figure in Roman radio history, particularly between the late 1990s and 2015, when he became instrumental in developing dedicated AS Roma radio programming.

He was widely recognized for his talent as a broadcaster and media personality, becoming a cornerstone of Roma's fan-focused coverage during a significant era for the club. In recent years, he had withdrawn from public life due to health complications.
Following his death overnight, tributes have poured in from Roma supporters across radio and social media platforms. Legend Francesco Totti, visibly emotional, reflected on Ripepi's passing, saying: "Everything comes to an end, now I want to enjoy my family." Ripepi's legacy remains firmly embedded in the history of Roma's broadcasting and the club's relationship with its fanbase.
