Just to add a little more controversy, I think Baggio is the most pumped up Italian player ever. Great WC '90, superb WC '94, a touching effort in '98 and in between the biggest case of mercenarism of the past 20 years after Bobo Vieri. He has remained faithful throughout his career to the nickname Gianni Agnelli had coined for him : "coniglio bagnato", literally "wet rabbit" or more prosaically "p*ssy". Something Del Piero, despite all his shortcomings, will never be accused of.
Libero, I don't see how Baggio has been more 'over inflated' with the National than DP. I do see what you mean about his Serie A stint...he would hop teams for an extra water bottle. I think the most under appreciated has been Maldini. Had he played for Juve I have no doubt he would have a God Like Status in the World...some may argue he does but he was over shadowed in terms of coverage by other players for the NT
