Alessandro Del Piero, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI(born November 9, 1974 in Conegliano Veneto) is an Italian World Cup-winning footballer, generally considered one of the best footballers of his generation. He currently plays for Juventus in Italy.(Wikipedia)
His nickname is Pinturicchio, in reference to a joke by Gianni Agnelli when he compared the emerging Del Piero to Baggio in a parallel between the student Pinturicchio from Perugia and the teacher Perugino. He's also been nicknamed by the fans "Il Fenomeno Vero"[19] meaning "The Real Phenomenon".(Wikipedia)
