That's what I mean, look at all the high profile foreign players Milan sign. Even obscure ones, they must have gone through half the nations of the world. People follow players from their country, you only have to look around forums to see it.
This works against us with our policy, we are very much Italy's team, and have been since the early days. We are relying on things like our prestige, style of play, success, maybe even the Italophile aspect.

From 2000 onwards effect of achieved international success, or possessing highly marketable player is multiplied. Globalization, importance of the brand, media, social networks, etc... We are one click apart from every product out there, news, or service. You can't isolate the specific factor in these circumstances, it's rather combination of many and we've been paying the price of spending too many years on the outskirts of Europe. But things seem to be taking a new turn for us and looking at the Facebook numbers for instance, we gain 100k new fans with each passing week, while only 1 year ago it was pitiful 30k.
I never suggested a change in policy though if thats what you're implying.Hence why a team like Juventus(who are known for their team ethic rather than brilliant individuals) performing in Europe is even more necessary to regain its elite status and outdo all other Italian teams from a popularity perspective and also from a monetary aspect too.
