" Reality " is the title of the work that Manu Invisible wanted to give to the city of Cagliari at the end of the workshop carried out with 300 students during the week for the prevention of pathological gambling.

The mural was inaugurated today by the director of the DSMD - South Zone Department of Mental Health and of the Center for the Treatment of Psychiatric Disorders related to Alcohol and Pathological Gambling of the ASL of Cagliari, Graziella Boi , by the director of the ASL of Cagliari Marcello Tidore and the Regional Health Councilor Mario Nieddu .

Made with enamel and spray on a 140 square meter wall, the work "tells how reality does not always appear to us as it really is, it continually hides behind the lights and beyond the colors of a slot machine, behind the circular movement and sounds that hypnotize ", as the plaque on the side signed by Manu Invisible reads.

We see "parents increasingly worried", the words of Graziella Boi, with young people "always more closed in the room with the phone in hand, who instead of studying are hours or hours on the internet". Attitudes “increasingly associated with the use and consumption of alcohol, even in solitude, and with pathological gambling”.

The lockdown period, according to Boi, “has favored the use of social media, and it is not always a positive fact: this is why we would like to open a clinic dedicated exclusively to minors for all pathological behaviors, from the use of substances to gambling addiction. This work is the synthesis of a week of awareness and training that we want to give to the city, the conclusion of this important work ".
