Fortitudo-Pro Roma Società di Ginnastica e Scherma was an Italian football club from the Rione Borgo area of Rome, originally founded in 1908. The club is most noted for competing in the early Italian Football Championship competitions, before in 1927 becoming one of three Rome based clubs merging to form AS Roma.[1]
The team was founded by some friars from the Brothers of Our Lady of Mercy order. Fortitudo (in English Courage or Fortitude) is in fact the name of one of the four cardinal Virtues of the Catholic tradition, and is a popular name in Italy for sport teams founded by religious organizations.
In 1926 Fortitudo merged with Pro Roma to form Fortitudo–Pro Roma, just one year before merging into AS Roma.
