San Marino. A work of art to remember the tragedy experienced by the elderly during the Covid emergency
The work “The Room of Hugs” has been unveiled, a symbol of the tragedy experienced by the elderly due to the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“Late yesterday afternoon, at the entrance to the State Hospital, the commemorative work was unveiled “The verse of hugs”, Respect for awareness of the tragedy experienced by the elderly, especially guests of the case of awareness, due to the symbolic holidays imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. In fact, the tragic number of infections and deaths that the spread of the Sars-CoV-2 virus has recorded in all the countries of the world has been added to the social drama of isolation and the impossibility of having loved ones near, at the moment most in need of attention“, declares theSocial Security Institute in a note.
“Great emotion in the words ofSan Marino artist Riccardo Zani Faetanini, who thanked the San Marino institutions present for ‘the honor and pride of being able to exhibit this work in the Hospital of the Republic of San Marino, after it was published in the Sant’Agostino room of the Municipality of Rimini in May of this year’ – reports the press release -. The inauguration ceremony was attended by the state secretary for health, Roberto Ciavatta, and the director general of the Institute for Social Security, Sergio Rabini, who remembered how ‘this work reminds us of the tragic moments that the Covid-19 pandemic has imposed on all of us and the collateral damage, especially of a social nature, that the pandemic is causing to many families, deprived of the closeness of their loved ones in the last moments of life . A further reason to remember that the emergency is not over and that indeed, the data today tell us of a significant increase in infections in the area. For this it is necessary not to join the guard ‘“.
The sculpture made of polychrome wood “will come published in the windows at the entrance to the State Hospital until the end of January 2022“.
