The first Santa Cabrini reliefs commission led in late 2009 to the Hospital’s commissioning of a monumental work for the Hospital grounds, entitled “The Guardian.” This work was commissioned to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Hospital.

Among the images can be seen some relating to its uncrating — a monumental labour for a monumental work!
