I didn’t want to post this yesterday out of respect for the late Franco Baresi, but I thought it was too special not to share. Francesco Totti reposted my video on his Instagram Story as a tribute to Baresi. It was a special moment not only because of the occasion itself, but also because I’ve been following Totti on Instagram since 2017 and as far as I can remember, I’ve never seen him repost, like or share content from a fan account. Makes the moment even more meaningful.

I’ve always had a soft spot for players who dedicated their entire careers to one club, regardless of the badge they wore. Men like Bergomi, Facchetti, Maldini and of course, Baresi had loyalty, pride and commitment which are qualities that transcend rivalries. Baresi and Maldini, in particular, are two players whose careers I’ve spent countless hours revisiting through my work. Beyond their extraordinary ability, it was the way they carried themselves both on and off the pitch that commanded respect. The video below is one of those examples. Seeing a veteran Baresi smile and gently pat a young Totti on the head in appreciation for protecting him is one of those small moments that has always stuck with me. Baresi was a true icon of the sport, a revolutionary and a visionary that was way ahead of his time. Goodbye, Franco Baresi.
