Such is his passion for the culture of ink that in February 2017 he assured in statements for El País that he had lost count of how many tattoos he has distributed throughout his body.

The Italian national team player has more than ten tattoos on his body. Some in honor of his family and others, great idols of his childhood and adolescence, such as the one he wears in tribute to Diego Armando Maradona. "My wife has told me that one more and does not let me enter through the door," he says with a laugh.
