Biography and career
Di Canio has been the center of much controversy throughout his career; pushing over referee Paul Alcock after being sent off for Sheffield Wednesday and more recently, for making Fascist salutes. After making a salute in a match against Juventus in December 2005, he was suspended for one game by the Italian Football Federation and fined 10,000 Euros. After criticism from politicians for his behavior, he stated that he would,"always salute as I did yesterday because it gives me a sense of belonging to my people." Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, stated that the salute "did not have any meaning" and described the player as 'an exhibitionist but a good lad'. His own team Lazio, distanced themselves from his actions, claiming that they rejected the "politicization" of football in anyway.
Di Canio initially refused to apologize for his actions and claimed that he did not intend to make a political statement. He insisted that he is free to communicate with his fans in whichever way he pleases, though the Italian constitution considers Fascist propaganda to be illegal. These events sparked a series of debates throughout the country, comparing the difference in the perception of the far right and left. Di Canio amended his earlier remarks and claimed that he is "a fascist, not a racist. The salute is aimed at my people. With the straight arm I don't want to incite violence and certainly not racial hatred." He later denied ever having made that comment which was attributed to his lawyer.
Di Canio has a tattoo on his arm which reads "DVX", which is the Latin appellative used for former Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, Duce. He is also known to have been part of the Ultras fan group (Lazio's Irriducibili) in his youth and even traveled with the group to away matches.
