An increasingly child-friendly Magalini. Today at Magalini Hospital in Villafranca
were unveiled the decorations carried out by artist Silvio Irilli that transformed the
walls of the Pediatrics ward into an “enchanted forest” with cartoon
characters and animals (teddy bears, elephants, birds, horses, squirrels and small dogs): a
fairy-tale environment for the little patients of Pediatrics
share on
“Always the
desire that animates me is to ensure that children can continue to dream even
inside a Pediatrics ward. And on this occasion it was great to have it realized in
collaboration with A.B.I.O. Verona, whom I thank and who immediately believed in the project with so much
passion. The idea from the beginning was to create an emotional
path in a forest with many characters and the beautiful castle of Villafranca
of Verona. So I would like to thank Dr. Mauro Cinquetti, the Director of Pediatrics Dr.
Alessandro Bodini, the Hospital Management and ULSS 9 Scaligera, who welcomed the
project of Painted Hospitals with so much enthusiasm. And I hope that” the forest in
pediatrics “can bring a moment of joy to the ward and can be of support to
doctors during the reception and hospitalization of children”
SILVIO IRILLI
Artist and Founder of Painted Hospitals
“Making hospital environments” child-friendly “is one of the goals of A.B.I.O. Verona OdV.
The work created by artist SILVIO IRILLI has fully captured this purpose and entering the pediatric ward of the Hospital of Villafranca is like entering a serene and fairy-tale world that will surely brighten the difficult moments of many children.”
Lucia di Palma
President ABIO Verona ODV
“A new, structurally excellent hospital like the one in Villafranca, which on the second floor presents wards dedicated to women and children, with these decorations of Pediatrics begins a path of attention to young patients and their
reception. A path we faced with the A.B.I.O. association, then
brought to fruition by Dr. Alessandro Bodini. The desire is to create a pediatric area
with a context attentive to the needs and experience of the little ones. At such a time
critical, it is an investment in the direction of the well-being of children, our future: thus
Villafranca is confirmed as a pediatric reference point for the population of the
territory”
Dr. Mauro Cinquetti
Dir. of the Maternal and Infantile Department ULSS 9 Scaligera
“Pediatrics numbers, since we reopened
last June 21, are becoming more and more important: in the last two and
half months we have confirmation of 2 births per day on average. As for admissions
in pediatrics, so far there have been 180. And our group has recently seen the arrival of 4
new pediatric physicians. These are numbers that indicate our commitment”
Dr. Alessandro Bodini
Director UOC Pediatrics
“I would like to thank
A.B.I.O. Verona and artist Silvio Irilli for their sensitivity through their
donation and remind us how very important it is always to dedicate qualified human resources
and adequate equipment to services dedicated to children present and future
of our society.”
Peter Girardi
General Director of AULSS 9 Scaligera
“the Magalini continues
so on its way to becoming fully the hospital of excellence that we all
want it to be. I am overjoyed for Pediatrics: in addition to essential services, we cure
so also the reception of young patients. We are not retreating one step; in fact, let's
take two steps forward.”
