Roma led the tributes to ‘The Sheriff’ on social media after the announcement.
They tweeted: “Goodbye Enzo.
“Our hugs go to Fiorella, Francesco, Riccardo and the whole family.”
Enzo was considered one of the most vulnerable to the virus having suffered a heart attack just a few years ago.
During his son’s 25-year career at Roma, Enzo would travel to every away day.
And he would even turn up to training sessions to offer players pizza with mortadella on top as a snack, according to Corriere dello Sport.

And fans were quick to pay their respects on Twitter.
One wrote: “Condolences to Totti and his family for their loss.”
Another said: “The sheriff. Rest In Peace, Enzo Totti. Big hugs to the Totti family.”
A third added: “Sending our deepest condolences to the Totti family after hearing the unfortunate news of the death of Francesco’s father Enzo.”
