It had all started with the first part regarding the large walls, which were decorated by artist SILVIO IRILLI, thanks to the third place prize northwest area of the competition organized in 2019 by the UNICREDIT FOUNDATION; the project, drawn up by Dr. Patrizia Marenco and Dr. Alberto Gaiero Director of the S.C. Pediatrics and Neonatology, was contributed by theCresc.i Association, which has always been a partnership of Pediatrics for its care initiatives, training and supporter of numerous projects for the reception.

The second part of the project, was concluded thanks to the contribution of the ass. Croce d’Oro of Albissola, which, with a very successful fundraising campaign, also made it possible to create the seabed for the floor on which rests, for the first time in Italy, a table in the shape of a sailing ship, a unique sculpture, in order to be able to let the little patients carry out play activities.

“Painted Hospitals” is an art project created by artist SILVIO IRILLI that is transforming the wards of Italian hospitals, followed by millions of people on social media and is continually in demand in the health care places of cities from north to south including islands; it is among the most beautiful Italian realities in the field, also recognized by President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella.

The project was sponsored by the city of Savona.

“With the set up of the playroom at the Savona pediatrics realized by Silvio Irilli with true craftsmanship and professionalism, we can really be proud of what has been planned, studied and realized. The pandemic did not help us but we got to the bottom and after the summer, in agreement with the ASL2 management, the official inauguration will be organized in the most appropriate way. Nothing is achieved by chance and therefore all those who contributed to the realization of the project: from Asl2 to Unicredit, from Cresc.i to the Golden Cross, from those who donated a few euros to those who offered significant sums, all deserve a loud applause and thanks and will be duly thanked. But of course while Silvio was finishing his work , there were those who were ensuring care for the hospitalized children, there were those who were providing initial care in the pediatric emergency room, those who were busy in neonatology and neonatal pathology, those in the DH of pediatric endocrinology and diabetology, and the Doctors Nurses, OSS, psychologist, educator, clown therapy who with all the difficulties of these months never failed to show their professionalism and passion. Results are always the result of teamwork, and in this sense asl2 can say it has a great medical-nursing team on both poles. For this reason, too, I am sure that this work will be a success”

Heartfelt thanks to all those who, in such a difficult time, supported the initiative with the many donations.
