<p><strong>FLORENCE</strong>- At the Salone dei Cinquecento in Florence&rsquo;s Palazzo Vecchio, the ceremony to mark the eighth edition of the Italian Football Hall of Fame took place. The award was established in 2011 by the FIGC and Fondazione Museo del Calcio to pay tribute to those who made history in the Italian game.</p> <p>Inter Vice-President <strong>Javier</strong> <strong>Zanetti</strong> was one of the key figures after he won the &lsquo;Foreign Player&rsquo; category to join other legends such as&nbsp;Platini, van Basten, Batistuta, Maradona, Ronaldo, Falc&atilde;o and Gullit. &quot;Humility and making sacrifices are the values that I&rsquo;ve always held since I was a child. For me, Giacinto Facchetti was a really important role model. His presence was crucial and today we look to transmit certain values to the next&nbsp;generations. I also do it with my children because you don&rsquo;t go anywhere without making sacrifices.&quot;</p> <p>To officially mark his entry into the Italian Hall of Fame, Zanetti presented the museum with the shirt that he wore against Livorno when making his comeback after rupturing his Achilles.</p>
