The Prize

The Art Toy is an exclusive and original item signed by the artist. Despite its contemporary features, it is a precious and long-lasting item, affordable to everyone. It is an expression of a strong cultural interest and passion for contemporary art.

Gabriele Mannarino attended the Academy of Fine Art in Rome which he left to follow his personal artistical research. His love for nature was addressed under various forms in his future artistic production. Mannarino's art ranges from drawing, to graphics, digital art and informal painting. In parallel, he makes furnishing and ready made sculptures from recycled materials and objects, showing with irony and efficaciousness the lightness with which we produce and rapidly get rid of the objects we use daily.

The Cause

Missione Sogni Onlus is a non-profit committee that has been active throughout Italy since 2003. Its mission is to help children aged 5-15 affected by serious illness and disabilities make their dreams come true.

A seriously ill or disabled child lives quite a different reality from his/her peers. Their lives are made up of isolation, loneliness, fear and pain. The illness prevents that child from living a typical, carefree lifestyle, made up of school, playtime, family vacations and spending simple family time together.

Making their dreams come true gives young patients the chance to escape reality and get help in confronting their illnesses and treatments, as well as renew their enthusiasm for life.

Besides making their dreams come true, since May 2011 Missione Sogni has decided to provide these young children with gardens inside some of Milan’s most renowned hospitals. These gardens teach children how to grow plants and learn healthy eating habits. It offers them the opportunity to leave their ward and stay outdoors in the company of other children.
