FONDAZIONE SANTA LUCIA IRCCS - Rome
The Forest of Wonders for the Neurorehabilitation of the Santa Lucia IRCCS Children's Centre
Every year, around 500 families start complex neurorehabilitation programmes at the Santa Lucia IRCCS in Rome, dedicated to children with serious pathologies such as infantile cerebral palsy, rare genetic diseases, neuromuscular diseases and other neurological impairments. The Infantile Neurorehabilitation Centre, in many cases attended on a daily basis, thus becomes one of the centres around which the lives of families are organised from the first months of the children's lives, for which the surrounding environment also plays a crucial role.
This is what inspired Silvio Irilli, founder of Ospedali Dipinti, to carry out the artistic restoration of the Centre's waiting room, which has now been transformed into a "Forest of Wonders", thanks to donations from the companies Swan, Dexco, Sial, Trade Art, Bizzaglia, Sanitas, Consis and Sogesi, brought together thanks to the valuable work of Leopoldo Tiberi.
This intervention will help health workers to stimulate the children's imagination and make the time spent by the children in the treatment rooms and their families in the waiting area as comfortable and welcoming as possible.
