Franco Baresi (born 8 May 1960 in Travagliato, Italy) is an Italian football youth team coach and former player. He played as a sweeper and spent his entire career with Serie A club AC Milan. Baresi was nicknamed "Piscinin", Milanese for "Little one". In 1999, Baresi was voted AC Milan Player of the Century and is widely regarded as one of the finest defenders of all time.

He is also the younger brother of Internazionale legend and current vice coach Giuseppe Baresi.

Baresi was brought by his older brother Giuseppe for a trial in Inter's youth team, but was rejected. Despite this setback, Baresi refused to give up his dream and tried out for the Milan youth team, where he was accepted.

Baresi led the Milan team and its defence for the best part of a decade. During that time, the back four consisting of him, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta and Mauro Tassotti gained a reputation for being of the meanest defenses in Europe. He is also one of the few players who spent his entire career at one club, AC Milan, for whom he played 719 games, scoring 33 goals. Unconventional for an Italian defender trained in the catenaccio tradition, Baresi was an attacking defender who often assisted the team in counterattacks but without neglecting his defensive duties.

Bruno Pizzul (born March 8, 1938) is an Italian journalist and a former professional football player. He is best known for being the TV commentator of matches involving the Italy national football team from 1986 to 2002.

Graduated in jurisprudence, in 1969 he was hired in RAI, the Italian public service broadcaster, as sports commentator. The first match commented was Juventus-Bologna of 1969-70 Coppa Italia and the first international match was the UEFA Euro 1972 Final (USSR-West Germany). In 1986, starting with the Mexican FIFA World Cup, he became the official commentator of Italy national football team, succeeding to Nando Martellini.

He kept this role until 21 August 2002, when he commented his last match of Italy, in a friendly againist Slovenia, played in Trieste and lost by the Azzurri 0-1. After his official leave-taking from RAI, in 2007 Pizzul commented for La 7 the replicas of Italian matches at 2006 FIFA World Cup and several matches of 2007-08 Coppa Italia.

They had three daughters: Micaela, Manuela, and Marta.

Boldi entered show business as a drummer. He played in the group I Mimitoki before joining the better-known La pattuglia azzurra ("The Blue Patrol"), which was headed by a young Claudio Lippi. He went on to be a drummer in Gino Paoli's orchestra and many other bands.
