Ranieri: Rome has the Colosseum, St. Peter's - and Francesco Totti

Former Roma boss Claudio Ranieri has compared Francesco Totti to the city's iconic sights, including the Coloesseum and the Vatican.

Francesco Totti is as much an icon of Rome as the Colosseum and St. Peter's Basilica, according to former Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri.

The veteran forward scored his 250th Serie A goal in the 3-1 loss to Torino on September 25, just two days before he celebrated his 40th birthday in what is his 25th senior season with the club.

Only Silvio Piola (274) has scored more goals in Italy's top flight, while heralded former AC Milan and Inter captains Paolo Maldini and Javier Zanetti are the only players to have made more than Totti's 605 Serie A appearances.
