 Sunday Special-The most important lesson in life!

italian surname scarpa
Francisco Scarpa Filho was born in September 13th, 1951 in the city of São Paulo. He has two sisters, Fátima and Renata. All children of the businessman Francisco Scarpa and socialite “Count Chiquinho Scarpa”, is a well-known personality in Brazil. Son of a family of Italian-Brazilian industrialists, gained fame for his love of exquisite parties and his romantic relationships.He is one of the most notorious playboys, as the rich men who frequented high society in Brazilian metropolises were called, surrounded by glamor and beautiful women. This was all widely publicized in the media, which helped him become famous.
Patsy Scarpa and Francisco Scarpa, Chiquinho's parents, in the 1950s
Chiquinho Scarpa stunned the world by announcing that he was burying his million-dollar Bentley so he could live his life in style.
He attracted a lot of media attention, mostly negative and was heavily criticized for his extravagant gesture and the destruction of a valuable vehicle.
Why don't you donate the car?
How far is this gentleman from reality?!
A few moments before he arrives his Bentley car ready to bury... It was then that he said he would not bury his car and then revealed his real motive for the drama: for organ donation to awareness.
"People condemn me because I wanted to bury a million-dollar Bentley, in fact most people bury something more valuable than my car," Scarpa said during a speech at the ceremony.
"They bury hearts, livers, lungs, eyes, kidneys. That's nonsense. So many people are waiting for transplants and burying them with their healthy organs that could save so many lives!! 
Chiquinho Scarpa was motivated to give a "lesson of life" a desire to raise awareness for organ donation .He staged a hoax about burying his expensive Bentley to generate public shock and media attention, which he then used to highlight the importance of donating organs instead of burying valuable things. The incident was designed to spark a conversation by comparing his potentially "buried" car to the more valuable, but often wasted, organs that people bury after death.
