On July 4th 2002 in Guidonia (Rome) the exhibition entitled “Art – Health – Work “ was inaugurated; an exhibition promoted by the USL-RMG Corporation and specifically by the Health District of Guidonia and by the Mental Health Department – Psychiatric Day Center of Guidonia, and maintained by Doctor Roberto Gramiccia, Director of the District and by Doctor Carlo Spatocco, Manager of the Day Center.
The display, sponsored by the Province of Rome, the Municipality of Guidonia and the IX Mountain Community, has also been hosted on the grounds of the Buzzi Unicem plant of Guidonia. The paintings are displayed on the ground floor of the Health District of Guidonia: the works donated by the artist Ennio Alfani will remain to decorate the area.
The sculptures, however, can be visited at the Buzzi Unicem cement plant in Guidonia.
The protagonists of the exhibition include Italian artists of definite renown: the painter Ennio Alfani, the sculptors Nicola Carrino, Lucilla Catania, Claudio Palmieri, Cloti Ricciardi, Walter Vari together with the guests of the Psychiatric Day Center.
The principal purpose of the initiative was that of interweaving the art themes with those of health (mental and physical) and creativity, within a setting that refers to the idea of work, human industriousness and solidarity as inalienable conditions for civil existence and endurance.
