It must be a happy time for Baggio as since the prize was announced, so has the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi – a cause which he has also been close to in recent years.
Baggio, known as the Divin Codino (divine ponytail), has had a long and top-class career in Italian football, but since his retirement from playing, has dedicated himself to many causes, from disaster relief in Haiti, to human rights awareness and even to the recent flood relief program taking place in his local region of Veneto.
