Three Napoli football fans have been injured by gunfire in Rome before the Italian cup final between Napoli and Fiorentina, Italian media report.All three fans were taken to hospital, at least one in a serious condition.
Reports say a policeman and passer-by were also hurt in the violence on the outskirts of Rome where fans were gathering before the match.
The game, due to start at 21:00 local time (19:00 GMT), was delayed by more than half an hour.
The circumstances of the shootings are unclear but clashes between rival fans were reported outside the match venue - the Olympic Stadium in the Tor di Quinto district.

Officials say they do not exclude the involvement of "ultra" supporters of local team AS Roma, who threw stones and bottles at police.
The most severely injured man, a 30-year-old Napoli supporter, was apparently shot in the chest.
Other injuries were also caused by firecrackers, reports say.
A pistol used in the shootings has been recovered, AGI news agency reports.
There were disturbances inside the stadium with reports of firecrackers and smoke bombs being thrown.
Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is watching the match with his wife and children.
