GABRY'S PLANET
Inauguration of the work for the waiting room

Milan, June 7, 2025
INAUGURATED GABRY’S PLANET
Gabriele, a little hero suffering from a rare disease named SIFD (Sideroblastic Anemia with Immunodeficiency, Fevers and Developmental Delay), is the only case in Italy, who faces the thousands of therapies and follow-up visits every day with extraordinary courage and a smile. And from this very acronym, through the association dedicated to him, Gabry Little Hero,that Gabriele’s parents wanted to give a new meaning: We Dream Together of a Different Future. This time they do so through thehumanization of care spaces that can often really change the perspective of those who are often forced to long waits in hospitals or specialized centers because of their illness/pathology.
Through the poetic and colorful touch of Silvio Irilli, the waiting room of the UONPIA center was transformed into a futuristic, welcoming world, full of energy and life. A world that tells, even visually, the story of a superhero child, Gabriele, and that of many children like him.
Decisive for the realization of this dream was the support of Euronext and its employees, who actively participated in fundraising through Christmas solidarity initiatives, demonstrating how corporate generosity can generate concrete beauty.

"We are happy to return a small gift to a place that has given so much to our son. Gabriel has been attending this center almost every day for years to achieve his little autonomies. We can't wait to see his little friends' faces light up as they enter this new world. And even more, we can't wait to watch Gabry's gaze when he recognizes himself in the comic strip that portrays him: a little hero projected into a futuristic universe, where illness gives way to imagination and courage. It is our way of telling him that, together, we really can dream of a different future."

“When a child like Gabry faces a path made up of so many difficulties and struggles to overcome different obstacles every day, he can only be a Superhero!
It is a great joy and thrill for me to have been able to redesign him together with his sister in” Gabry's Planet.“
After meeting Gabry in person and seeing his strength there is no kryptonite that can stop him...Come on Gabry, full speed ahead to new adventures in color!”
