Fabio Cannavaro

Ummm,ย yeah. Iโ€™m just not sure anything more needs to be said here, which is good because Iโ€™m kind of at a loss for words. The only thing I can think of to say is, โ€œThrow in!โ€

Andrea Pirlo

Pirlo is, without a doubt, my #1 Italian footballer hottie. I adore Pirlo so much that my husband has taken to saying, โ€œYour boyfriend is onโ€ every time Pirlo appears onscreen during a televised Milan match.

Paolo Maldini

Whatever the question is, Paolo, the answer is yes.ย Thousand times yes.

Luca Toni

Toni left Fiorentina not long ago to play for a German team. He looks here like heโ€™s wondering if we forgive him for leaving his Italian team, doesnโ€™t he? Well, the answer, Luca, is โ€“ yes, yes we do. Wait, what was the question?

Francesco Totti

I hear that Totti is something of a household joke throughout Italy for reportedly not being very bright. There is, Iโ€™m told, a whole series of jokes where Totti is the punchline. However, when heโ€™s on form heโ€™s an absolute magician on the pitch.

Alessandro Del Piero

Not only is he hot, but Del Pieroโ€™s also been a goal-scoring machine of late, so thatโ€™s a bonus. I said goal-scoring machine, folks โ€“ heโ€™s married. Sheesh.

Gennaro Gattuso

While I do sometimes wonder how a man who looks soย very hairy can have such a pristinely smooth chest, I still have a very soft spot in my heart for โ€œRinoโ€ (especially when his beard is trimmed properly so that it doesnโ€™t look like itโ€™s about to take over his face).
