"In general, the emergency department is not a pleasant or welcoming place, especially when it is a paediatric emergency department.
It is therefore incumbent on us to make every effort to make it as child-friendly as possible.
I would say that this effort has yielded results beyond all imagination: what Silvio Irilli has produced allows the child who enters the hospital premises with understandable concern, when not anguish, to enter a dimension that could be described as surreal, which undoubtedly has a strong anxiolytic effect and contributes significantly to initiating the treatment process that is the hospital's mission.

"A child in the paediatric emergency room is entitled mainly to care and professionalism, but also needs welcome, colour and imagination to alleviate some of his family's fear and concern, and to make the health workers' work more serene. We are proud to say that thanks to ABIO NOVARA we have coloured this dream ALL TOGETHER, with the support of the whole hospital.... to welcome children to the emergency department! A special Sea of Thanks goes to all the sponsors and supporters who have believed with us in the value of this magic. Thanks to the splendid work of the artist SILVIO IRILLI, today the Paediatric Emergency Department in Novara has become a colourful aquarium with many new friends such as dolphins, turtles and coloured fish that will welcome the young patients with a smile".
