The 'Bianchi-Melacrino' Reunited Hospitals, better known as Ospedali Riuniti, constitute the main hospital facility in the city of Reggio Calabria and are part of the 'Bianchi-Melacrino-Morelli' hospital company.
The hospital in Reggio took the name 'Ospedali Riuniti' because it combines the Ospedale degli Storpi and the Ospedale Civico. Construction work began on 2 April 1929. The Princes of Piedmont inaugurated the Ospedali Riuniti Bianchi Melacrino on 31 May 1932.
The complex was given the name of the benefactor who had donated the land, but, given the particularly delicate times (we are in 1930) it was even given the name of Dr Francesco Bianchi, from Cosenza, who had the sole merit of being the father of the Fascist quadrumvir Michele Bianchi. Thus even today, the hospital in Reggio di Calabria is called 'ospedali riuniti Francesco Bianchi e Giuseppe Melacrino'. The street that led to the hospital was also named after the benefactor.
Idral places technology at the service of hygiene with its electronic taps. Thanks to a photocell mounted inside all products, water is dispensed without touching any part of the product.
The infrared beams of the photocell detect the presence of the user at a distance self-regulated at the time of installation. The photocell, as soon as it is sensitised, activates a solenoid valve which, in turn, determines the water supply.
This can be, depending on the model chosen, cold or hot, mixed or pre-mixed at the desired temperature. The water continues to be dispensed as long as the user is within the 'reading' range of the photocell. As soon as he moves away, the solenoid valve ends the operation, preventing waste.
The following product has been installed inside the structure:
