Roma Star De Rossi To Be Appointed 'Knight Of Rome'
The Italian international will be recognized with an Italian order of merit...
Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi will be appointed a Cavaliere di Roma on May 25, according to romagiallorossa.com.
The prize is an honour given out as recognition to service to the Italian public and is similar in some ways to being knighted in the United Kingdom.
Giallorossi talisman Francesco Totti has already received the honour earlier in his career and is set to be present and be a part of the ceremony for his team-mate.
The ceremony will also mark the first 'Flag of Football' award given out in honour of late Roma president Franco Sensi. The former club patron passed away this summer, with his daughter now in charge of the club. The prize will recognize those who have represented the history of the team and the winner will be chosen by the Sensi family.
De Rossi was born in Roma and has played his whole career with the club, making over 250 appearances in all competitions.
