“Places of culture are also places for the well-being of visitors but above all of a fragile public. We started with the Parkinson Association to reach out to people with neurodegenerative disabilities, because we believe that places of culture are not just to be visited, but places to be experienced, and through these places citizens can experience real benefits. For example, it has been found that since 2018 in Canada the health service has prescribed visits to the museum especially for those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Salus per Artem is also a means to connect the Colosseum Archaeological Park to the city. Beauty, places and works of art stimulate our brain and generate the regeneration of neurons and allow, in general for everyone, psychological and then also physical well-being”. This was said by Alfonsina Russo, Director of the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum, who spoke at the meeting “Care with Art: Beauty as Therapy” dedicated to the healing power of art, organized by the Bracco Foundation in collaboration with the A. Gemelli University Polyclinic Foundation IRCCS – Gemelli ART.
