A. How Angelucci. The 40-year old Giampaolo, the future heir to the private clinics founded by his father, Senator Antonio, was straconvinto that Rome would have been his thing, however, when Rome is never just one, but its people. While embroiled in nasty legal wrangling, will have heard what the Romans sang Wednesday at the Olimpico.
B. As the eleven years that has made her the Lazio. That has to do with the sales process? Nothing, however, there is fine.
C. How Claraz know, the Luxembourg public limited company at first associated with - but those who will tell perhaps the judiciary - the most powerful Arab Aabar Investments fund, which he later denied any involvement. Behind the Claraz SA lurked a mysterious investor in the race for the team. The mystery remains.
D. How DiBenedetto, Thomas Richard. Not much is known of the man who leads the consortium with stars and stripes, which could be the new president of Rome. Italian-American from Boston, Abruzzo origins half and half - it seems - Molise, a natural flair for business, Thomas has his Junior gets along very well with baseball. It was a couple of times at the Olimpico. One of the two, Roma-Inter. When Vucinic is came in and scored, asked aloud: "Why is entered only now?". Yes, we understand football.
E. As the Emirates. Let's face it. From fans, when Aabar denied, we remained quite ill. We made the mouths of the petrodollars of the royal family, already wondered if Drogba, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could coexist, we were willing to borrow the horses of the Roman barrels with the camels of the sheikhs. It was a mirage. But the reality, the consortium of U.S. dollars, is not bad.
F. How Fioranelli (and as Flick). Must answer to justice Italian of the crime of insider trading. Two years ago, Mr. Vinicio ragged right and misses his visceral attachment to the colors of Rome. Result: The Stock Exchange galloped coming to a resounding win in three months +124%. More than the colors of Rome, Fioranelli seemed interested in the color of money.
G. How Ghizzoni. Unicredit CEO will be forever associated by Roma fans at one of the most complicated in history giallorossa handovers. His men dossier on Rome, Paolo Fiorentino and Piergiorgio Peluso, managed to keep secret the identities of members of the month U.S. consortium. It flew to New York when he felt the need to up the tempo and convince the Americans. Certainly an original strategy. But it seems to have worked.
H. As hedge funds. The Romans have discovered just what they are now. When was the path of identikit DiBenedetto, the leader of the consortium Stars and Stripes, has written that part of his personal fortune is tied to the management of hedge funds. Funds are non-conventional asset management, and then usually at high risk. They can create unimaginable profits. Example: in 2010 a manager of these funds, unknown to the Romans but well known Wall Street, John Paulson, the hedge funds earned by the modest sum of $ 5 billion.
I. As an information memorandum. It is another technical term that has accompanied us in this endless process of sale of Rome. Information Memorandum, or more familiarly "info memo", the disclosure document was delivered last autumn by the Rothschild entities that had expressed an interest in the club. Read the dossier, potential buyers could make a first offer. Non-binding.
L. As Lazio. View (Serie) B.
M. How Movsesian. If DiBenedetto is the tutelary deity of the American consortium, Julian Movsesian is his prophet. Emblematic of his comment, just Unicredit and the Sensi family announces it is granted the exclusive mandate to the U.S. consortium, "Within two weeks we could be the proud owners of Rome. We're excited. " Good work, Mr. Movsesian. He was born a Roma player.
N. As a new company. Perhaps even the will in the end. Who knows. Maybe a solution is found faster to sell to Americans. On the other hand, thanks to the sale of Rome, now we all know that new company is going to new companies. New company. In the original intentions of Unicredit, Newco in Rome, which was formed and split the assets of Italpetroli, would have a channel for the controlling stakes of Rome, currently held by Roma 2000. Who wanted to buy Rome, so that it must make a purchase proposal for Newco.
O. As offerings. Binding (binding offers) and not (non-binding offers). Their proposition has been a virtual break between two distinct phases. The one where you could also "play" (non-binding offers) and that instead of having to get serious (the binding) and undertook to follow up on what was being proposed. Rothschild and Unicredit have never disclosed the exact number of bids are not binding. Indeed, there was talk of some thirty proposals. Those were challenging but five: the U.S. consortium, Angelucci, the Claraz SA, a French entity and another investor that you do not even know the nationality.
P. As Piper Jaffray. It is the American bank that has seen as advisor to the consortium headed by Mr. DiBenedetto. It is in its offices a few days ago, the leaders of Unicredit drafted the Memorandum of Understanding for the binding to the stars and stripes. There, may have made history. The Roman one.
Q. As shares. We have learned to deal with percentages. Segnatevele. 67% owned by AS Roma and Roma 2000, which in turn controlled by Italpetroli, which is still 51% of the Senses (with an irrevocable mandate to sell it, though) and the other 49% of Unicredit. About 4% of AS Roma belongs to the entrepreneur Danilo Coppola, the remaining 29% is divided on the market. The Americans would detect 67% and then launch the tender offer. Unicredit, later, by purchasing 40%, but it would give half to another investor. Got it? Not really, we realize it.
R. As Rothschild, the advisor who conducted the proceedings selling on behalf of Unicredit. Its chief executive, Alessandro Daffinà , banker Roman faith, was one of the great protagonists of the series. The other day he was to submit bids in a videoconference with representatives of the bank, who sat in Milan.
S. How Sensi. Eighteen-year presidency, won a championship, at least three stolen by a gang vertical stripes, two Italian Cups, two Italian Super Cups, eight editions of the Champions League. Nothing more to add. Indeed, one thing: thank you.
T. As Totti. The T is a bit 'an inverted L. Totti is the perfect symbolic representation of the anti-Sydney is a heritage, it is man made an explanation of why tifiamo Rome. Totti is Roma. Totti is untouchable. But the Americans know this already.
U. As Unicredit. It is early to assess the work of the bank. At a rough guess, however, Unicredit has brought home a good result. For himself and for Rome. For himself, why not cash out right away what he thought to accomplish, but at least limit the damage. And for Rome, because the U.S. consortium seems to make things right. A consideration. Before the agreements in July, Piazza Cordusio was convinced it was the fault of the Sensi family if Rome was not sold. Then they slammed the muzzle its executives, which are due to fly to the States to convince a group of investors to spend less than they dreamed of the bank.
V. As flight. For the record, Alitalia flight AZ610. In business class, of course . They took him Jan. 24 for the men of Unicredit not miss the offer then it will be evaluated "the most credible." American. Three days of meetings of fever, then the agreement in principle reported in Italy at the top of Piazza Cordusio. The return flight, I bet, has made record certainly much less turbulence than the first leg.
Z. As the last letter of the dictionary. Metaphorically, it represents the end of an era. We're the last episode of a saga, that the sale of Rome. Progressed since 2004. But we are also the last act of an epic, that of the senses. It began in May 1993. Tangentopoli was sweeping away the remnants of the First Republic, Italy clung to the Ciampi Government to exit the economic and moral crisis, il Milan di Capello era l'Invincibile Armata, Totti aveva appena esordito in Serie A e la Lazio festeggiava cinque anni senza l'onta della B . A proposito, ma come si dice in americano e la Lazio in B, presto tornerà ?
