“Guerra contro il tempo” ("The War against Time") by Valeria Gisonna "in art Gi".

Dimensions: 30x40 cm

Acrylic painting

It is one of the oldest and, at the same time, most relevant wars in the history of humanity. It is the War between Man and Time. Time understood both as the passing of seconds and as what Bergson called duration. An ancient war because man has always fought it. A relevant war because man constantly tries, in every moment of his life, to stop Time. The reasons can be many, starting from Man's natural fear of dying or wanting to stop Time because we are in a precise pleasant moment of our life, therefore wanting to stop it because of our selfishness. It is fear that drives Man to want to stop Time, leading him to try to cling to life more than ever, to hold on to it, and then end up wanting not only to stop Time, but even to reverse it. In this war, man will always be left behind. Time can't be caught.

The Cause

The IEO-MONZINO Foundation is the only one that exclusively and directly supports the clinical and experimental research of the European Institute of Oncology and the Monzino Cardiology Center: for almost 30 years, its goal has been to identify the best treatments and support innovative projects through a virtuoso that allows, in total transparency and without waste, to make available to patients what researchers discover in the laboratory.

Research funding is confirmed to be strategic for the work of the doctors and scientists who work at the IEO and Monzino, so that the progress and results achieved in the laboratory can be quickly transformed into more personalized treatments, and translate into increasingly effective diagnostic systems .

The priority commitment of the IEO-MONZINO Foundation is therefore to further strengthen fundraising so as to make precious resources available in support of the research of excellence carried out by IEO and Monzino and to allow its work to continue and over the medium/long term.
