Club career
Scarpa was born in Campinas, São Paulo, and represented Guarani, Santos, Paulínia and Desportivo Brasil before joining Fluminense in 2012. He made his first team – and Série A – debut on 1 June 2014, coming on as a late substitute for Rafael Sóbis in a 1–1 home draw against Internacional.
Scarpa was rarely used during the season, and was loaned to Red Bull Brasil on 22 December 2014. He scored his first senior goal for the latter side the following 11 February, netting his team's first in a 3–2 Campeonato Paulista away win against Bragantino; ten days later he added a further goal, scoring in a 2–2 home draw against São Bento.
After featuring regularly, Scarpa returned to Flu in May 2015. He started to feature more regularly for the first team managed by Enderson Moreira, often appearing as a left back. He scored his first Série A goal on 9 July, netting the game's only in a home success over Cruzeiro.
On 28 September 2015, Scarpa renewed his contract until 2019, and finished the year as an undisputed starter. A mainstay in Fluminense's starting eleven during the 2016 campaign, he scored eight goals in the year's Brasileirão; highlights included a double in a 2–2 away draw against Internacional.
Scarpa started the 2017 season with four goals in six appearances, netting consecutive goals against Resende (1–0 home win), Portuguesa-RJ (3–0 away win), Bangu (4–0 home win) and Globo (5–2 away win); the latter came from the halfway line. On 25 February, in a 0–0 home draw against Madureira, he was replaced by Richarlison at half-time after suffering an ankle injury; it was later revealed that he would be staying two months out, and in the meantime he further extended his contract until 2020.
International career
On 19 January 2017, Scarpa was called up by Tite for a friendly against Colombia. He made his full international debut six days later, replacing Lucas Lima in the 1–0 win at the Engenhão.
