“Children definitely feel more comfortable in a fun and colorful environment; the intervention of Painted Hospitals offers a sensory experience closer to their way of living and thinking, helping them to handle with greater serenity the experience of hospitalization, a simple outpatient visit or, as in this case, a visit to the ER. I thank the Air Force personnel at Capo Mele, Andora, Albenga and Imperia for this donation that will surely be appreciated by our young patients.”
Dr. Alberto Gaiero
Chief of Pediatrics
“In expressing sincere thanks to Dr. Alberto Gaiero and Dr. Alessandra Longagna, for enthusiastically accepting the proposal of the initiative, allowing it to be realized, I also thank Maestro Irilli for the commendable and valiant work, not only for the artistic significance of the works but especially for the human significance, since the initiative is aimed at children. The purpose is to be able to give an emotion, a smile and a bit of serenity to the little patients who will be attending these environments.”
