The icon of local football thus received the embrace of the fans who became a single chorus in the ovation in Novara. The former Golden Ball player went around the pitch, in tears, to thank everyone.

The memories of the bad experience are still vivid. Baggio attempted to confront the criminals but “after a very brief struggle, a robber hit him on the forehead with the butt of a gun, causing a deep wound, then he and his family were locked in a room. Meanwhile, the criminals turned every room upside down, stealing watches, jewels and money. It is not yet possible to quantify the loot. When the footballer realized that the robbers had left, he broke down the door and called the police.”
