The Prize

Serafino shirt of the Italian 1976 Davis Cup winning team!

Giuseppe Serafini, known as Serafino (Prato, 1946 - Palermo, April 1980), was a famous and great character in Italian football in the seventies.

As well as going to football matches, Serafino often attended major tennis matches, especially when Italy was competing in the Davis Cup. He attended the 1979 final between the United States and Italy in San Francisco and he entered the court and had a funny interaction with John McEnroe.

In 1976 the Italian team was victorious in the Davis Cup: Panatta, Bertolucci, Barazzutti and Zugarelli won the only trophy in the Davis Cup in Italian history. The Serafino shirt, size 3XL, has the names of the members of the Italian team embroidered on it.

This shirt has been auctioned to support Sistema Orchestre e Cori Giovanili e Infantili in Italia.

The Cause

Sistema delle Orchestre e dei Cori Giovanili e Infantili Onlus was founded in 2010 in Italy. Its main value is that music can educate people and help them integrate into the community.

Thanks to free access to musical courses, both for kids and adults, the charity offers the possibility to learn how to play instruments and sing, and it teaches people a sense of responsibility and the ability to be a good listener. By creating choirs and orchestras, they give hope to families living in difficult situations such as economic disavantage, illnesses and social issues.

This Italian project is inspired by "El Sistema" a similar project founded in Venezuela by Josè Antonio Abreu, who has been creating musical projects for 40 years to emancipate kids, especially those who live in the streets on their own, with the risk of joining gangs and with access to drugs after being abandoned.

It is a revolutionary project, an inspiring example of how music and general culture can save lives, where people can learn how to work in a team and how to be part of a community. Music is communication, collaboration and integration — an art that can deeply change our society.
