Diebold Italy Associate Brightens Playground at Cancer Hospital
Young cancer patients in Milan, Italy, have a cheerful place to play at the hospital, thanks to the creativity and talent of Enzo Bordoni, marketing and sales support manager for Diebold Italy.

When Clinica Di Marchi, a hospital that treats children who are affected by tumors, decided to turn a parking lot into a playground for its patients, Bordoni volunteered his time by helping paint a mural on the wall of the courtyard. Bordoni tied his volunteer activities to Diebold by painting a friendly alien named Opteva, after the company’s newest family of ATMs.

Bordoni later wrote a short story about the alien’s journey to Earth, which involved stopping at an Opteva® ATM. The Opteva ATM told the alien many stories about toys, sweets and how to make a donation to the hospital. As many as 20,000 copies of the story and others will be distributed to the hospital as well as several elementary schools in Northern Italy. To read the entire story, click here.
