Art in the ward for the health of patients and humanizing treatments, especially where there is the greatest need for beauty, in the intensive care unit.
The project started in 2018 at the Jesi hospital, in which students from the local branch of the "Mannucci" art high school in Ancona collaborate, has concluded in recent days with the creation of murals in the corridor facing the entrance and in six hospital rooms.
"Humanization of intensive care care" is the name of the multi-year project that humanizes care and improves the comfort of care, in an artesalute combination.
"The work of these excellent young students - commented the director of the Intensive Care Unit Tonino Bernacconi - will benefit the patients when they wake up after treatment for their illness, the family members who stay for hours next to their relative, and all the staff who work in the department day and night" .
The murals portray a "tree of life" in magenta and blue shades with hands that intertwine like roots, goldfish on a seabed, a fantasy world with children playing suspended without the laws of gravity, dandelions moved by the wind, considered a symbol of lightness and transformation .
Other works portray flowers with long stems moved by the wind, a metaphor of energy and freedom, a symbolic connection with the city with some of the main monuments of Jesi and, the last, a large porthole that opens onto the seabed.
In total, around 100 hours of work were used and five different classes with 40 children worked in the department on the sketches, another 35 children took turns in creating the paintings under the guidance of Professor Giuliana Pallotto, with materials purchased thanks to the company Diatech Pharmacogenetics.
