![]() Association Bernardi Guerra / The First Dedicated Hospital for Premature Babies in Europe Who are involved in the HOSPITAL Project The Project is based on a non-profit Organization philosophy and operation. The creator and initiator of the Project is Dr Paolo Paolazzi, who himself was involved in his grandson's premature birth. The Hospital involves well-known experts for example Professor Gian Carlo Di Renzo, specialized in Obstetrics and Gynecology - Prenatal Medicine. Special aid is provided by the Children's Hospital, Denver, which has been one of the top pediatric heart transplant centers in the USA for more than five years, and the Hospital has ranked among the top five hospitals in the number of pediatric heart transplants performed each year. Red Cross Italy has offered one of its building, that belonged once to the Family Bernardi, to be renovated and be the main location for the Hospital. The renovations of the Building will be made and supervised by the contractor Salini S.p.A. Roma. The dream, the premises for the Hospital, the Family and Zachary
Dr Giovanni Bernardi, maternal grandfather of Dr Paolo Paolazzi, inventor of this project was one of the most famous and popular lung specialist and has devoted almost all his life to the study and treatment of tuberculosis. To this end he founded several nursing homes. His wife Amelia Guerra, in addition to have joined and helped her husband in the establishment and implementation of care homes, was also a member of Red Cross and a big patron herself. When Amelia Guerra died at an early age, the activities of her husband Dr Giovanni Bernardi started to slowly decline and all buildings of care homes were alienated.Many years later, in 2006, Dr Paolazzi's family experienced a painful and tragic story. His daughter Micaela, who has married an American citizen gave birth to a premature child just five months. Small Zachary has been admitted for 18 months at the Children's Hospital in Denver (Colorado). The premature baby Zachary among countless operations also went through a tracheostoma operation. The enormous sacrifices faced by the families have been rewarded and small Zachary is now out of danger and growing calm and happy. The aims of the Hospital
The idea of Dr Paolazzi is to constitute a non-profit Organization for the Hospital, entitled to his grandparents as well as to acquire some important properties that belonged to the Bernardi family. The purpose with these properties is to perform activities concerning predominantly children.Dr Paolazzi and his family's aim is to create a highly specialized Centre for the care of children born prematurely with the creation of clinics, a hospitalization Department, a laboratory analysis, as well as a Department of medicine maternal-foetal and newly born intensive therapy. In the words of Dr Paolazzi: My dream is to acquire old structures that my grandfather has created and managed in Italy, and to do a centre of excellence for care and assistance to the premature children, to alleviate the pain of many mothers and many families - which I have learned on my skin - and to cover an area of medicine that yet, here in Italy and Europe is little studied and certainly underestimated. Why is it necessary to have such a Hospital? Giving birth and caring for Premature Babies is an area not so much discussed, researched or solved, especially in Europe. It is a specialized area, needing more focus, more attention and maybe more protection for the future of our Planet. What is the role of Red Cross? The location of the future Hospital is situated at the doorsteps of Ferrara, in Italy, a complex including a building that once belonged to the Bernardi family until 1961, then was purchased by the Italian Red Cross. The national presidency of the Italian Red Cross gave availability to the Association Bernardi Guerra of the building of the future Hospital and its land surrounding it, becoming this way a major Patron of the whole Project. Co-operation with Dodo Newman
Why HAS Dodo Newman offered her support?The Life of every Child is extremely important and precious, as well as to save the Lives of the Ones that have already been conceived and have all the chances to see the Sun and our Planet. This aim of providing the necessary and specialized care of premature babies is a main shortcoming in Europe, lacking adequate tools, equipment, expertise and focus. If only One Baby can be saved and given the opportunity to live, then this Aim has already served its main purpose. How does Dodo Newman contribute to the Project? Dodo Newman has offered to contribute to the project by creating for free a unique Interior for the Hospital's Building. The concept is to provide an aesthetic and inspiring environment for the Building, the Place where babies are given the chance to live and mothers the chance to raise their children. ![]() The "tools" that Dodo offers for the Project are her works of art on Plexiglas that will provide an aura of happiness, joy and hope. Besides her Works of Inspiration, Dodo fights to make the aim bigger and to have more funds available for the further development of the Hospital for Premature Babies. ![]() |
