"Putting one's talent at the disposal of others is a noble act that deserves the support of those who, like me, since the beginning with Eppela, believe in the potential of every person. Painted Hospitals is not just any old project, but a demonstration of how every positive gesture can bring smiles, happiness and solidarity, even when the space is entirely taken up by pain.
This is why it is necessary to establish virtuous relationships, such as the mentorship with MSD, in order to contribute to the creation of a better world.
Nicola Lencioni
Managing Director of Eppela
"We believe in the power of children's imagination.
Painted Hospitals is a beautiful art project that uses the power of colour and imagination to help children in children's hospitals to keep smiling, dream and travel with their imagination. Gianni Rodari used to say that imagination can give us the keys to enter reality in new ways and can help children to get to know the world. The profound and humanmeaning of this project goes precisely in this direction, and so we wanted to support it to continue the magic it creates".
Nicoletta Luppi
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer MSD Italy
SMILE ISLAND
Child neuropsychiatry
"We are very proud of our collaboration with Ospedali Dipinti, as Maestro Irilli was able to perfectly interpret our requests and achieve the joint objective of bringing joy to children in hospital.
Nino Abbate
President ABC - Amici dei Bimbi in Corsia.
«I would like to thank ABC Onlus, MSD, Eppela, the Policlinico di Messina, and all the people and local companies who have believed in this dream with their donations. A great team has been formed with a single objective: to stay close to the young patients, their families and the doctors. As of today, the Polyclinic begins to take on a new colour, with a special welcome to banish the fears of the young patients. Every time this happens, we will have done something important together.»
