The former Chelsea defender is due to sign a two-year contract with the Italian club after becoming a free agent this summer.
Cole was mobbed by Italian fans at the airport as the club's official Twitter account posted a picture of Cole at Rome airport and wrote, 'Welcome to Rome, Ashley!'
QPR winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has also taken to Twitter to send his wishes onto Cole.
Wright-Phillips wrote: 'All the best my bro @TheRealAC3 good luck in Rome'.
Rome-based newspaper Il Romanista ran the headline 'Yes we Cole' on their Sunday edition and reported that a two-year deal for the experienced left-back was already sewn up.
Cole's agent, Jonathan Barnett, also confirmed recently: 'At the moment it is only clubs based abroad - there may be other developments, but for the moment, that is all we are talking.
'The situation is that we are talking to several clubs.'
The former Englanddefender is a free agent after leaving Chelsea and has had interest from Monaco and various Major League Soccer franchises.
But Cole, who spent eight years at Stamford Bridge after moving there from Arsenal, is set to move to Serie A.
