Former AC Milan defender Paolo Maldini earned 126 caps while Cesare Maldini, Daniel's grandfather, played his last game for Italy 61 years ago.
Paolo Maldini attended the Nations League match in Udine and saw his son come on as a 74th-minute substitute.
 

"I'm happy that my parents came here, we'll talk when I get home," 23-year-old Monza forward Daniel Maldini said after the match.
"It was a strong, positive emotion, I am very happy to have played and that the match went well ... I hope to bring some quality, even if there is already too much, I try to help as much as I can."
Italy, who are top of their group with 10 points from four matches, visit Belgium and host France next month.
