Pietro Mezzaroma, the businessman who acquired AS Roma in 1993 alongside Franco Sensi, has died aged 91. Mezzaroma and Sensi took control of the club from Ciarrapico, but the partnership lasted only six months before Sensi moved to acquire all shares and become sole owner.

Mezzaroma was a prominent figure in Roman property development alongside his brothers Gianni and Roberto, overseeing expansion across multiple areas of the city including Cinecittà, Torrino, San Basilio, Tor Bella Monaca, Talenti and the EUR district. Gianni served as president of Sport e Salute and is the father of Cristina, who is married to Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio and a senator with Forza Italia. Roberto was a Member of the European Parliament from 1994 to 1999, also representing Silvio Berlusconi's party.
