===Foundation===
[[File:FerrarisIV.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Attilio Ferraris]], Roma captain during their formative years]]
AS Roma was founded in the spring of 1927 when Italo Foschi<ref name = lastoria/> initiated the merger of three older [[Italian Football Championship]] clubs from the city of Rome: [[Roman F.C.|Roman FC]], [[S.S. Alba-Audace Roma|SS Alba-Audace]] and [[Fortitudo-Pro Roma S.G.S.|Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS]].<ref name = lastoria/> Foschi was an important Roman representative of the ruling [[National Fascist Party]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hall |last2=Hodges-Ramon |first1=Richard |first2=Luca |date=11 December 2014 |title=Roma: Serie A alternative club guide |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/dec/11/roma-serie-a-alternative-club-guide |newspaper=[[The Guardian]] |location=[[London]] |publisher=Guardian News & Media Limited |access-date=18 May 2020 |archive-date=27 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227211737/https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/dec/11/roma-serie-a-alternative-club-guide |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Testa |last2=Armstrong |first1=Alberto |first2=Gary |date=2010 |title=Football, Fascism and Fandom: The UltraS of Italian Football |location=[[London]] |edition=1st |publisher=[[A&C Black|A&C Black Publishers Limited]] |page=31 |isbn=978-1-4081-2371-3 }}</ref>

The purpose of the merger was to give the Italian capital a strong club to rival that of the more dominant [[Northern Italy|Northern Italian]] clubs of the time.<ref name="lastoria">{{cite web|url=http://www.asroma.it/DocList.aspx?Categoria=42|website=asroma.it|title=La Storia|archive-date=23 December 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223014855/http://www.asroma.it/DocList.aspx?Categoria=42 |publisher=AS Roma|language=it}}</ref> The only major Roman club to resist the merger was [[S.S. Lazio|Lazio]] because of the intervention of the army General Vaccaro, a member of the club and executive of [[Italian Football Federation]] (FIGC).
All three founding clubs were [[Serie B|relegated]], but the fascist-aligned FIGC bet over the capacity of the new team to give a stronger representation to the capital of Italy, and they were awarded a [[Wild card (sports)|wild card]] for the {{lang|it|[[Divisione Nazionale]]|italic=no}}, the Serie A forerunner. The club played its earliest seasons at the Motovelodromo Appio stadium,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://albionroad.com/club-profiles/roma.html |publisher=AlbionRoad.com |title=A.S.

===First title victory and decline===
[[File:Associazione Sportiva Roma 1941-42.jpg|thumb|left|The Roma of the first scudetto in 1942]]
After a slump in league form and the departure of high key players, Roma eventually rebuilt their squad, adding goalscorers such as the Argentine [[Enrique Guaita]].<ref name="stars">{{cite news|url=http://www.asrtalenti.altervista.org/index.php?a=calciatoriG.htm|publisher=Viva la Roma|title=Tutti i calciatori dell'A.S.

Roma returned to form after being inconsistent for much of the late 1930s. Roma recorded an unexpected title triumph in the [[1941–42 Serie A|1941–42 season]] by winning their first {{lang|it|[[scudetto]]}} title.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.asrtalenti.altervista.org/index.php?a=campionato4142.htm|publisher=ASRTalenti|title=Campionato 1941–42 – Roma campione d'Italia|date=24 June 2007|access-date=30 September 2007|archive-date=20 October 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020043050/http://asrtalenti.altervista.org/index.php?a=campionato4142.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> The 18 goals scored by local player [[Amedeo Amadei]] were essential to the [[Alfréd Schaffer]]-coached Roma side winning the title.

In the years just after the war, Roma were unable to recapture their league stature from the early 1940s. Roma finished in the lower half of Serie A for five seasons in a row, before eventually succumbing to their only ever relegation to [[Serie B]] at the end of the [[1950–51 Serie A|1950–51 season]],<ref name = league/><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/ital52.html |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |title=Italy 1951–52 – Serie B |date=24 June 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070509181203/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesi/ital52.html |archive-date=9 May 2007  }}</ref> around a decade after their championship victory. Under future [[Italy national football team|Italy national team]] manager [[Giuseppe Viani]], promotion straight back up was achieved.<ref name = "managers" />

After returning to the Serie A, Roma managed to stabilise themselves as a top-half club again with players such as [[Egisto Pandolfini]], [[Dino da Costa]] and Dane [[Helge Bronée]].<ref name = league/> Their best finish of this period was under the management of Englishman [[Jesse Carver]], when in [[1954–55 Serie A|1954–55]], they finished as runners-up after [[Udinese Calcio|Udinese]], who originally finished second, were relegated for corruption.<ref name = league/> Although Roma were unable to break into the top four during the following decade, they did achieve some measure of cup success. Their first honour outside of Italy was recorded in [[1960–61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup|1960–61]] when Roma won the [[Inter-Cities Fairs Cup]] by defeating [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] 4–2 in the finals.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.rsssf.org/ec/ec196061.html|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|title=Inter-Cities Fairs Cup 1960–61|date=24 June 2007|access-date=2 February 2023|archive-date=1 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121101123741/http://rsssf.com/ec/ec196061.html|url-status=live}}</ref> A few years later, Roma won their first [[Coppa Italia]] trophy in 1963–64 after defeating [[Torino F.C.|Torino]] 1–0.<ref name="coppaitalia">{{cite news|url=http://www.vilacom.net/football/coppa.php |publisher=Vilacom Sports |title=TIM Cup – Coppa Italia |date=24 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927161909/http://www.vilacom.net/football/coppa.php |archive-date=27 September 2011 }}</ref>

Their lowest point came during the 1964–65 season, when manager [[Juan Carlos Lorenzo]] announced the club could not pay its players and was unlikely to be able to afford to travel to [[Vicenza]] to fulfil its next fixture. Supporters kept the club going with a fundraiser at the Sistine Theatre and bankruptcy was avoided with the election of a new club president [[Franco Evangelisti (politician)|Franco Evangelisti]].

Their second Coppa Italia trophy was won in 1968–69, when it competed in a small, league-like system.<ref name = "coppaitalia" /> [[Giacomo Losi]] set a Roma appearance record in 1969 with 450 appearances in all competitions, a record that would last 38 years.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://asroma.hunsport.hu/?us=23 |publisher=ASRoma Hunsports |title=Rekordok, statisztikák |date=24 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011093920/http://asroma.hunsport.hu/?us=23 |archive-date=11 October 2007  }}</ref>

The best place the club were able to achieve during the decade was third in [[1974–75 Serie A|1974–75]].<ref name = league/> Notable players who turned out for the club during this period included midfielders [[Giancarlo De Sisti]] and [[Francesco Rocca]].

The dawning of a newly successful era in Roma's footballing history was brought in with another Coppa Italia victory; they defeated Torino on penalties to win the 1979–80 edition.<ref name = "coppaitalia" /> Roma would reach heights in the league which they had not touched since the 1940s by narrowly and [[Turone's goal|controversially]] finishing as runners-up to {{lang|it|[[Juventus]]|italic=no}} in [[1980–81 Serie A|1980–81]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=420526 |publisher=Goal.com |title=Roma – Juventus: A Historical Look |date=24 June 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201012742/http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=420526 |archive-date=1 December 2008 }}</ref> Former [[A.C.

The second ''scudetto'' did not elude Roma for much longer.

After a disappointing start to the [[2009–10 A.S. Roma season|2009–10 season]], [[Claudio Ranieri]] replaced [[Luciano Spalletti]] as head coach.

Roma would finish runners-up to Internazionale yet again in both Serie A and the Coppa Italia. During the 2000s, Roma had finally recaptured the ''Scudetto'', two Coppa Italia trophies, and their first two Supercoppa Italiana titles. Other notable contributions to the club's history have included a return to the Champions League quarter-finals (in the [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|2006–07]] and [[2007–08 UEFA Champions League|2007–08]] editions) since 1984, six runners up positions in the league, four Coppa Italia finals and three Supercoppa finals – marking Roma's greatest ever decade.

===American ownership and Pallotta era===
In the summer of 2010, the Sensi family agreed to relinquish their control of Roma as part of a debt-settlement agreement, ending their reign that had begun in 1993. Until a new owner was appointed, Rosella Sensi continued her directorial role of the club. Following a series of poor results that saw Roma engage in a winless streak of five consecutive matches, [[Claudio Ranieri]] resigned as head coach in February 2011, and former striker [[Vincenzo Montella]] was appointed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. It was also during this season that Roma icon Francesco Totti scored his 200th Serie A goal against [[ACF Fiorentina|Fiorentina]] in March 2011, becoming only the sixth player to achieve such a feat.

On 16 April 2011, the takeover contract was closed with an American investment group led by [[Thomas R. DiBenedetto]], with [[James Pallotta]], Michael Ruane and Richard D'Amore as partners.
