The Prize

Riccardo Guasco has donated his Moleskine Album Notebook 14x21 cm featuring 20 illustrated pages in china and ecoline.

Created live during the national premiere at the Ristori Theater in Verona in November 2019 for PAQUITO, POSTCARDS FROM SOUTH AMERICA Texts by Elisabetta Garilli with live illustrations by Riccardo Guasco. Music from South America performed by Enrica Bacchia, Massimo Zemolin and Luca Nardon.

Riccardo Guasco, “Rik”, is one of the best Italian illustrators. Born in Alessandria in 1975, he takes inspiration from the Italian and European artistic avant-gardes and nurtures a strong passion for Picasso, Depero and Feininger.

He is known for his posters that combine poetry and irony, creating images to make even the eyes smile. His illustrations are characterized by simple lines and few colors that seek lightness of form and chromatic warmth.

His works appear in advertising campaigns, magazines, books, hats and bicycles. Guasco boasts collaborations with The New Yorker, Eni, TIM, Diesel, Rizzoli, Baldini & Castoldi, Poste Italiane, Campo Viejo, Giunti, Moleskine, Rapha, Thames & Hudson, DeAgostini, Sole 24 Ore, Emergency, Greenpeace, Rai and L ' Espresso.

The Cause

For over 15 years OBM ONLUS has been committed to offering aid to women, children and families who come to the Vittore Buzzi Children's Hospital in Milan, helping to make their experience gentler as they are treated, offering them a welcoming environment and giving them access to healthcare excellence and technological innovation. OBM ONLUS operates daily in 3 specific areas to provide optimal solutions for children, babies and their parents, so that they can receive the best care to grow up healthy and happy:

1) giving the hospital a human touch by creating colorful play areas for children, offering a warm welcome to aid treatment and reduce the stress of hospital stays;

2) providing assistance to families by offering psychological support and hospitality to make their experience less traumatic;

3) aiding technological development within the hospital by purchasing medical and diagnostic equipment.

The hospital is still in the middle of the COVID emergency. There have been better times but now we have a lot of sick children. We have decided to strengthen the neonatology area, so that every newborn can be welcomed in the safest way possible. COVID has seen an increase in premature births and so the hospital needs more special cots to help the newborns grow strong. Our goal is to donate an Infant Warmer to the Buzzi Neonatology department, a station complete with all the necessary equipment to be used in the dedicated COVID area or moved to the delivery room.
