The home of Italy's 1982 World Cup hero Paolo Rossi in the Tuscan countryside was burgled on Saturday during his funeral service. Italian news agency AGI reported that Rossi's wife Federica returned from the ceremony in the Italian city of Vicenza to discover the home they shared near Bucine, Florence, had been broken into.

Items stolen included a watch belonging to the football legend and cash. Rossi and his family lived in a farmhouse in Poggio Cennina, where he ran an organic farming company and agritourism resort.
