Siena Health General States

‘Art that heals’

On March 22, 2025, Santa Maria della Scala hosted the first day of work of the 2025 edition of the exhibition dedicated to healthcare promoted by the Municipality of Siena. The day was dedicated to the analysis and story of how Art is and can be a valid support for Treatment. Through music, painting, theater and other disciplines, in fact, it offers a channel to express emotions and experiences that are difficult to verbalize, helping to process trauma or stress.
The dances opened at 9:30 with institutional greetings from Nicoletta Fabio, Mayor of the Municipality of Siena; Giuseppe Giordano, Councilor for Health of the Municipality of Siena and Cristiano Leone, President of the Santa Maria della Scala Museum Complex. The debate, moderated by the journalist of La Nazione Cristina Belvedere, proposed interventions with professionals from all over Italy and Europe: the artistic director of the Teatri di Siena Vincenzo Bocciarelli, the artist Cesare Pietroiusti, Irene Sanesi, co-founder of the Cultural Welfare Center of Turin, Enzo Grossi, coordinator of the Art and Health course at the University of Italian Switzerland in Lugano, Rebecca Russo, Founder and President of the Videoinsight® Foundation, Agnese Pieracci, head of the University Hospital of Siena, Cinzia Leone, famous actress and special guest who brought to the stage the testimony of how important art can be for health and its therapeutic power. Vincenza Ferrara and Paolo Zamboni held an immersive in-depth laboratory at Visual Thinking Strategies, an innovative method that uses cultural heritage as a tool for learning, promotion and social inclusion, improvement of interpersonal relationships, cultural mediation and well-being.

The city of Siena confirms its position as a point of reference in the national and international debate on healthcare with the second edition of the Stati Generali della Salute, an initiative promoted by the municipal administration to address the new challenges of the healthcare sector. Three days of meetings, insights and interactive activities led experts, institutions and citizens to reflect on key issues for the well-being of the community. The morning of each day was occupied by conferences and debates, with professionals of national and international calibre, while in the afternoon dedicated activities and initiatives took place.

“With this second edition of the Siena Health General States, Siena confirms its role as a protagonist in the debate on healthcare and well-being”, declared the Mayor of Siena, Nicoletta Fabio. “We have chosen three symbolic places in the city to underline the link between history, culture and health, with the aim of building the future of healthcare and services for citizens together”.

The Councilor for Health of the Municipality of Siena, Giuseppe Giordano, reiterated the importance of the initiative: “With the States General of Health 2025 we want to renew our commitment to the promotion and protection of health, involving the entire community. Siena has always been a center of research and innovation in the medical and biomedical field, and we intend to enhance this identity through the comparison and sharing of ideas”.

Artissima

Odi et Amo. Hate and love: opposite units of a single feeling.

Life includes Eros and Thanatos, Love and Hate, the drive of Life and that of Death. The line that separates Love and Hate, Libido and Destrudo is extremely thin.

We live in a violent world, in which respect, kindness and gratitude seem to be rare values. We experience envy and aggression daily, in reality and on the web.
Violence against women, against children is intensifying, the physical and psychological violation of human rights is the order of the day.

The Videoinsight® Foundation has as its mission the Prevention and Treatment of Psychophysical Well-being through Contemporary Art.

On the occasion of Artissima 2023, it proposes the Group Exhibition “HATER”, curated by Rebecca Russo, philanthropist, collector, psychotherapist, President of the Videoinsight® Foundation.

The Exhibition includes the Finalist Works in the second selection of the Open Call “Hater” launched in February 2023 and the assignment of the Videoinsight® Award, now in its 11th Edition.

These are the names of the participating Artists:

Marco Abrate (Rebor), Sofia Amore, Raffaella Baldassarre, Pasquale Battaglia, Savina Capecci, Gianluca Capozzi, Marialucia Ciraci, Antonia Colella, Alessandro Dentico, Diego Dominici, Angelo Farina, Pietro Farina, Damiano Fasso, Lorenzo Gnata, Selena Leardini, Simone Marini, Roberto Rossacci, Milena Sgambato, Paolo Treni, Roberta Toscano, Marta Scavone, Luca Zarattini.

The Exhibition was created to raise public awareness on the issue of “Haters”, people who use social networks to express verbal violence or to incite hatred towards someone or something.
Hidden under nicknames, “Haters” poison communications with comments marked by obsessive, unmotivated, humiliating destructiveness.
The loss of control, of identity, selfishness, inhumanity have always existed, the media have amplified the phenomenon.
The constant and repeated attitude of intolerance, contempt, denigration, sadism and provocation, causes frustration, discomfort, depression, pain, desperation in the victims.

Cyberbullying is the online manifestation of a broader phenomenon known as bullying. The latter is characterized by violent and intimidating actions carried out by a bully, or a group of bullies, on a victim. The actions may involve verbal harassment, physical aggression, persecution. Today, technology allows bullies to infiltrate the homes of victims, to materialize at any moment of their lives, persecuting them with offensive messages, images, videos sent via smartphone or published on websites via the Internet. Cyberbullying defines a set of aggressive and intentional actions, by a single person or a group, carried out using electronic tools (sms, photos, videos, emails, chat rooms, instant messaging, websites, phone calls), whose aim is to cause harm to a victim unable to defend themselves.

The “Hater” Exhibition is aimed at the Prevention of cyberbullying, to support victims damaged by bullying, by unheard-of wickedness, by prevarication, by emotional abuse.
The awareness stimulated by the interaction with the selected Works of Art focused on the theme – the Videoinsight® experience proposed to the public – is the first step towards Prevention, towards Treatment.

The Exhibition will be inaugurated on November 3, 2023 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, at the Videoinsight® Center in via Bonsignore 7 in Turin. It will last until January 7, 2023.
