Project Details
Title: Le Corti – Smiling Tree Year: 2017 Location: Varese
It was a very emotional moment that of the lighting of the big Smiling Tree when its 36.000 lights turned on at the same time making a huge smile shine on the faces of the hospitalized children at the Del Ponte Hospital in Varese.
The Smiling Tree was created in 2015 for the Carrefour Shopping Centre in Pavia, in collaboration with the director Cinzia Bogazzi, and faithfully reproduces the drawing of a child chosen from among many by the internationally renowned artist Marco Lodola and Lucio Mariano.
The initiative “L’ Albero Sorridente” (The Smiling Tree) is a project born to pursue solidarity purposes wherever it goes, bringing the smile and a better life for the less fortunate children.
