'Bedtime Stories,' a collection of ten audio stories for pediatric patients at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS.

Rocco Forte Hotels expands the concept of hospitality and presents 'Bedtime Stories,' a collection of audio stories designed to bring imagination, comfort, and a sense of home to the approximately twenty thousand children currently cared for at the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS in Rome, debuting on June 15th. The collection, featuring ten timeless tales selected from Aesop's most famous fables—such as 'The Fox and the Grapes' and 'The Ant and the Grasshopper'—is designed to accompany the young patients of the Roman hospital, offering them a moment of relaxation and rejuvenation.  

To achieve this goal, Rocco Forte Hotels employed a "authored dubbing" in collaboration with SuoniLab. To offer children greater reassurance, the audio stories recorded in Italian and English featured voices from many animated children's films that are most familiar to children.  

Giving an international rhythm to the English dubbing of the tales from the 'Bedtime Stories' collection are the voices of the national and international talents who have generously contributed: Winston Duke,
Andy Garcia and Matthew McConaughey.  

For the Italian version, ten voices for ten tales thanks to the participation of Nanni Baldini, Marco Bresciani, Tatiana Dessì, Mino di Caprio, Andrea Mete, Stella Musy, Roberto Pedicini,
Luca Ward, Massimiliano Manfredi.  

"Through 'Bedtime Stories', Rocco Forte Hotels brings young patients a pampering experience that reflects our daily commitment to hospitality, empathy, and human connection," emphasizes Sir Rocco Forte. To mark the launch of the project, the Hotel de la Ville is hosting the Policlinico A. Gemelli IRCCS fundraising dinner for "La Casa dei Bambini Trenta Ore per la vita."  

The initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Trenta Ore per la Vita association, Casa Ronald McDonald Italia, and the Toniolo Institute for Advanced Studies, aims to reduce the social and emotional impact of long-term therapies by offering dignity, continuity, and support to patients and their families from all over Italy and many countries around the world.
