I was going to stick this in the first Balotelli thread I came across, but I didn't see one in the first page and a half so being the lazy bastard I am I just gave up and started a new one.
Here's an article on our Mario, focusing on the character and not the footballer. It's a long one but worth a read I think, thought I'd share. Even if you don't read or like the article, the clip in there is worth watching.

Oh it is from an American sports site so apologies in advance for the use of the word soccer =]
