My Take
Gianluca Pagliuca is one of those keepers I'd put in any conversation about Italy's all-time greats between the posts. Standing nearly 1.90m, he anchored Sampdoria, Inter, Bologna and Ascoli through a golden era of Serie A, when Italian goalkeeping set the global standard. What I admire is the longevity and consistency: being trusted at that level across so many clubs isn't luck, it's craft. He was honoured as a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 1991, which tells you the esteem he earned. Now a coach, he's clearly someone who never wanted to leave the game behind.
