CT Virtual Simulation Room of Oncology Radiotherapy at the Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome
LEAP INTO THE BLUE
“Leap into the Blue,” an installation by artist Silvio Irilli, founder of OSPEDALI DIPINTI, that transforms the CT Virtual Simulation Room of Oncology Radiotherapy at the Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome into a fantasy world populated by sea creatures that will allow patients to create a supportive and escapist environment.

Presented the work “Leap into the Blue” by artist Silvio Irilli of Painted Hospitals. The theme of the painting is sea creatures; the work was created thanks to the important contribution of La Roche-Posay and in collaboration with theRomanini Association, which follows all initiatives related to the Art4ART project. For the past 10 years, artist Irilli has been collaborating with Gemini within the project “Art4ART” (“Art for Advanced Radiotherapy” www.gemelliart.it) in the artistic realization of several radiotherapy treatment rooms: Aventine Hall, Colosseum Hall, Villa Adriana Hall and Aquarius the one dedicated to children. The initiative involved younger children inviting them to bring a drawing of a marine character to the pharmacy to be displayed in the store. Among the many drawings of marine characters made by children, the beautiful drawing depicting marine octopuses was chosen, which artist Silvio Irilli integrated into the work “Leap into the Blue” on the walls of one of the rooms in the radiation oncology department, helping to transform it into a pleasant environment for young patients as well.
