Balotelli love: Mario is met with eager prisoners as he makes his way into the room to answer questions (Picture: YouTube/Sky Italia)
During his trip to the Sollicciano prison in Florence, Balotelli, who was joined by international team-mate Gigi Buffon and manager Cesare Prandelli, clearly wasn't expecting the reception he got.
An overwhelmed Balotelli was met by hugs, kisses, handshakes and even a couple of little pats on the chin.
The 21-year-old couldn't wipe the smile from his face as he made his way toward the stage and followed up his entrance with an insightful Q&A.
Touching on his recent iPad drama Balotelli denied he had used the device on the bench during the Faroe Islands match. But he did say he was using it to listen to music in the changing room before he made his way out.
'My iPad? I wasn't listening to it when I was on the bench... I listened to it before that,' he told inmates gathered in the prison cinema.
After some inspirational words from Balotelli, and then Buffon, the playing duo made sure they stayed around to sign autographs and have pictures with staff and prisoners.
