Moderator Silvio Santos, 92, managed to message Brazilians visiting his home in Orlando, Florida. In a handwritten note, the Abravanel family said they were unable to pay attention to every passerby.
The mansion where Silvio Santos’ family spends their vacations is usually a tourist destination for Brazilians visiting the city from the United States. According to Em Off columnist Fábia Oliveira, whoever walks past the house at the end of the year will find a note taped to the gate.
“Dear Brazilian friends, we are very grateful for your affection. We would love to be able to take a picture with everyone, but that would be impossible. I hope you understand. Thank you for visiting and may God bless you. With love, family Abravanel. A year 2023 full of life and joy,” reads the newspaper.
Silvio Santos’ villa is located in Celebration, an upscale neighborhood near the Disney parks.
According to columnist Fábia Oliveira, it is not the first time that the moderator has left a message in front of his house. The property is fenced in, and last year a sign read: “Entering this property is expressly prohibited for unauthorized persons.” (Folhapresse)
