Baresi's Funeral Draws Thousands, Echoing in the South

Thousands of people lined the streets of Milan on Tuesday for the funeral of Franco Baresi, the legendary former AC Milan and Italy defender who died last week aged 66, according to the BBC and The Local Italy.

The crowds gathered outside a church in the city to pay tribute to a player who spent his entire career at Milan, winning multiple Serie A titles and European Cups. Baresi's death has prompted an outpouring of grief across Italy, from the stands of San Siro to the piazzas of the south.
