I am in Rome at the moment and keep asking the local bar keeps/waiters etc about this guy, but nobody seems to support Lazio.

Lazio are the club of the Campagna, the area around Rome.

Lazio are the club of Lazio,thats the province that contains Roma,Campagnia is the province of Napoli.

If you're trying to be clever I'd check your spelling.

Not arguing or anything, but I have visited Rome a few times and follow AS Roma. Lazio v Roma traditionally is based on politics. Roma = left wing, Lazio = right wing (hence Di Canio and the salute).

A bit like us and Blues; we are the normal, sensible, well rounded fans with a balanced political outlook. Blues are knobs, who know nothing and believe everything whilst grunting.

I could be wrong...

You're not, Rotters!
Your description of us, and THEM, is incredibly accurate!

Doesn't campagna just mean countryside?

The province is definitely called Lazio as far as I know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lazio_in_Italy.svg

The province is Lazio, but the immediate area is the campagna.

Just speculating on the right wing / left wing thing, but if Roma is the team of the city (unionised workforce etc) and Lazio of the surrounding countryside, perhaps the two are linked?

"Campagna" means country side, but the "Campagna Romana" is a term used to describe the countryside surrounding Rome.

Campania is a province of Italy, which contains Naples.
