Lazio Honor Scudetto Glory With Cragnotti’s Return And Emotional Book Launch

S.S. Lazio have officially confirmed the long-anticipated return of former president Sergio Cragnotti to the Formello Sports Center. The occasion marks his first appearance at the training ground in 22 years and comes in conjunction with the launch of the book "Diluvio e Delirio" — a tribute to the club’s historic 1999/2000 Scudetto triumph.

Set for Tuesday, 13 May 2025 at 12:00, the event will not only celebrate Lazio’s greatest league victory but also feature the official naming of the newly established library at Formello in memory of Flavio and Francesco Rosci, two passionate Lazio supporters who recently passed away.

Club president Claudio Lotito will welcome Cragnotti back to Formello for the first time, underlining the symbolic weight of the occasion. Cragnotti, under whose leadership Lazio reached the pinnacle of Italian football, guided the Biancocelesti to their second Serie A title 25 years ago—an achievement sealed in dramatic fashion during the rain-soaked finale in Perugia.

The commemorative book, written by journalists Manuele Baiocchini and Valerio Spina, dives deep into that unforgettable season, gathering never-before-heard accounts from key players and figures involved in the Scudetto journey. “Diluvio e Delirio, lo Scudetto più incredibile di sempre” is described as a rich collection of behind-the-scenes stories and emotional moments that shaped one of the most iconic chapters in Lazio’s history.

In a gesture to involve the broader Lazio community, the club have announced that the event will be livestreamed on their official platform, allowing fans around the world to take part in this special day of remembrance and celebration.

This gathering not only honors a historic sporting triumph but also serves as a bridge between generations—reminding fans young and old of the values, passion, and legacy that define S.S. Lazio. Media personnel are warmly invited to cover the event, which promises to be a powerful moment of reflection and unity for the entire Biancoceleste family.
