The 14th of May at the Granducato Hotel in Campi Bisenzio (Florence) took place the Charity Night organized by the Leonardo da Vinci Lions Club, in favour of the Stefano Borgonovo Foundation. The foundation has been created by the wife of the ex soccer player of Fiorentina, afflicted by the Amiotrofic Lateral Sclerosis (A.S.L.) to collect funds to assist the patients with this serious syndrome. Important sponsors have supported the initiative, among them the jewelery Damiani, Fratelli Rosseti, Wolkswagen; Capital Charter had offered for the lottery the use of a Bentley Gtc for a week-end. Prestigious cars were exposed in the hotel garden,  where  the guests enjoyed the aperitif. During the buffet the prizes of the lottery were assigned and thanks to the generosity of the many illustrious guest participating, the Foundation has been able to collect a substantial ammount. A curiosity: the "winner" of the week-end in Bentley Gtc  is the inventor of the Autovelox ( italian radar gun)!
