Inauguration – the statements

Borgomanero’s pediatric emergency room is being tinged with new colors to make the emergency/emergency area more welcoming and child-friendly thanks to the support of theEmmaland Association. The work, inspired by nature, springtime and the fauna of the forest entitled “Il Giardino di Emma” in homage to little Emma Simonotti, was created by Silvio Irilli, artist and founder of Ospedali Dipinti, an initiative born in 2012 with the aim of giving color, suggestions and dreamlike images to the walls of pediatrics and oncohematology wards throughout Italy. The transformation of the surgery took place in record time. On December 15, conclusion of the fundraising campaign with great success and participation, on December 17 the work was delivered! But it is not over. The donations keep d coming because Painted Hospitals and Emmaland Association are ready to launch a second campaign for a second work.

share on

“It is a great satisfaction for me that the fundraising campaign launched by the Emmaland Association for the artistic transformation of the Pediatric Emergency Room of the Borgomanero Hospital has seen a great competition of solidarity! I felt happy and honored to have given body and images to the will of so many, and especially to that of Claudia and Michele who first envisioned the work to give comfort and hope to children passing through the ER. And I admit that I learned a lot from the way they were able to turn a tragedy like the loss of their 4-year-old daughter into an act of love for so many sick little ones. I really hope that the fantastic scenery and the characters in the play,” Emma's Garden, “will encourage the little patients because every time we manage to make a child smile, Emma's smile will be in that smile as well.”

" 'Emmaland Association was created to honor the precious memory of Emma who, during her brief but intense struggle with a particularly aggressive disease, showed everyone strength, courage and determination despite her 4 1/2 years of age.
These values, combined with the joy of living, have been the conductor of all our initiatives, with "Painted Hospitals" and Silvio Irilli this has acquired even more meaning, creating a perfect harmony between art and emotions. The result of this Encounter is "Emma's Garden," which we are honored to be able to donate to the pediatric emergency room of the S.s. Trinità Hospital in Borgomanero, which welcomed Emma at the beginning of her difficult journey "

“The restyling of the emergency room is once again a testimony to the attention we pay to our young patients; in fact, the child often experiences entering the hospital with fear and anxiety. Creating, therefore, a child-friendly place of care is essential to distract him from what is happening around him and from his feeling of fear, and it contributes , in addition, and to reduce the agitation of family members, allowing a more serene intervention by health workers.”
Dr. Oscar Haitink
Director sc Pediatrics Neonatology
“Art plays a fundamental role in human life, it helps us to think, to understand better, to share emotions and feelings, it comes to our aid by making us less lonely. Entering a colorful and image-rich health facility projects the patient into a completely different reality from the one he or she is facing. I thank the Emmaland Association and artist Silvio Irilli who made it possible to create a space dedicated to young patients where creativity and imagination help improve the approach to the hospital”
