BREAKING: Juventus And Italian Football Legend Roberto Baggio Is Hospitalised—Italian football legend Roberto Baggio has been hospitalised after he was attacked by armed robbers who stormed his home and locked his family up while they watched last night’s Euro 2024 match between Italy and Spain.
Baggio, 57, was at his home in Altavilla Vicentina, a small town in northern Italy that lies roughly an hour’s drive away from Venice, at around 10pm local time when the gang of five broke in.
While Il Divin Codino, The Divine Ponytail in English, tried to fight the thugs off, he was hit in the head with the butt of a gun, before he and his family were locked in a room.
The robbers stole watches, jewellery and money, the value of which is not currently known.
Baggio was able to break his family out of the room they were locked in, but not before the robbers got away. Corriere della Sera reported that the robbery took place over 40 minutes.
Investigating cops have been handed CCTV footage to assist their inquiry.
Baggio, meanwhile, had to go to a hospital in Arzignano, roughly eight miles from his home, to be treated for his forehead injury, for which he was given stitches.
While none of his family were hurt, local media reported that they were left terrified by the incident.
