Have a Drink with Javier Zanetti

This experience was worth every second; every moment of our magical evening was filled with emotions, happiness and so much love!

The captain was great, really kind. He made our appetizers even more special, sharing laughs and memories with us and making the experience even more amazing than we could have ever imagined!

Three years later, I’d like to say a big thank you to CharityStars and the Pupi Foundation for giving us the chance to live out a dream and make our small contribution to the Foundation’s wonderful charitable projects.

Meet Scarlett Johansson at the Sing 2 Premiere

We were honored and humbled to partner up with CharityStars and Scarlett Johansson to do our part to help The End Fund combat NDTs across the world.

Being able to meet an amazing individual who means so much to us as a superhero both on and off the screen, while also being able to do some good ourselves, is something that will remain a highlight of our lives forever! Thank you CharityStars and Scarlett for this amazing opportunity! We’ll never forget it!

We already knew Riccardo’s history, but it was totally different to hear him tell his story, rich in details and particulars never told before. He represents an example for us, moreover, he is a very friendly person and we were free to talk about our company and ask for information about the growing of the global mobile market and for advice about our business.
