Francesco Sensi, Cavaliere del lavoro (July 29, 1926 – August 17, 2008) was an Italian oil tycoon. He was born in Rome, where he lived throughout his entire life, though he also served time as mayor of Visso, the city where his family came from. He had been for fifteen years, until his death, general manager of Associazione Sportiva Roma, the major football club of Rome. He took control of the club in May, 1993, both with Pietro Mezzaroma, and he then became the sole general manager on November 8, 1993.[1]
