Stefano Bettarini might not be widely known outside Italy, but inside the borders of the motherland of style and fashion he was considered one of the hottest athletes of the ‘90s. As a player he made just one appearance for the Italian national team in a friendly warm-up match before the start of Euro 2004. However, he gained a lot of attention from the Italian media during the mid-to-late 90s when he started dating and later married famous Italian television show host Simona Ventura. After that he started appearing more and more in various TV series and fashion shows and playing soccer became a nice little hobby really.
