Roma provisionally moved top of the Serie A table with a 2-0 win at local rival Frosinone on Saturday, while 10-man Fiorentina beat Genoa 1-0.
Iago Falque took advantage of a defensive lapse by the newly promoted team to score for Roma on the stroke of halftime, and Juan Iturbe sealed the result in stoppage time.
Khouma Babacar headed home the winner for Fiorentina on the hour, shortly before teammate Milan Badelj was sent off for a second yellow card.
Roma has seven points, one more than Chievo Verona which visits Juventus later, with the four-time defending champion still searching for its first points of the season.
Fiorentina has six points.
Roma captain Francesco Totti made his first appearance of the season, starting his 24th campaign with the Giallorossi.
