A Serie A footballer’s home was burgled while his kids were in with his babysitter, just a day after Jamie Vardy’s villa was raided.
Andrea Pinamonti – capped one by Italy – was playing for Sassuolo in a 2-2 draw with Pisa on Monday (24 Nov) when thieves forced their way into his pad.
His partner – Belarusian model, artist and influencer Dasha Lapushka – was at the stadium supporting him.

The game took place in Reggio Emilia, southeast of Milan, Italy, as the gang of burglars struck at the family home in Modena.
They made off with cash and valuables worth several thousand pounds.
The break-in happened while the couple’s two young children were inside with their babysitter.
They were on the floor below the one that the thieves entered after prising open a door, as reported by Need To Know.
The break-in was quickly detected, and police rushed to the scene, gathering evidence and footage that may help identify the suspects.
Lapushka, 31, said: “Burglars broke in while I was watching my boyfriend’s match.
“My kids were inside with the babysitter.
“Thank God they were downstairs, and they’re fine, and that’s the only thing that really matters.
“You can buy back material things, but not peace of mind. People who harm only spread harm, and sooner or later, life catches up with them.
“I hope whoever did this is identified and stopped soon. Sadly, in Italy, in recent years, something just isn’t working: too many break-ins, too much violence, too many femicides.
“Maybe if the punishments were tougher, more people would think twice before doing something like this.”
The break-in comes just a day after ex-England and Leicester star Vardy’s villa was targeted while he was playing in Cremonese’s 3-1 defeat to Roma on Sunday (23 Nov).
A burglar is said to have slipped into the £2m property in Salò, on the shores of Lake Garda, through an open window.
The thief reportedly made off with cash, jewellery and other valuables – including an expensive Patek Philippe watch.
Pinamonti, 26, has been with Sassuolo since July 2023.
The centre-forward, from Cles in Trentino, has also played for Genoa, Inter, Empoli and Frosinone.
He won the 2020-21 Serie A title with Inter and has one Italy cap – a 3-1 friendly win over Albania in November 2022.
