Patrick Girondi & The Orphan\u2019s Dream\u2019s music has been featured in Award-winning films. <\/p>\n Patrick Girondi and the Orphan’s Dream has performed at the Chicago Poor Man Blues Fest in Washington Park with Coco Taylor, and Ronnie Lee Graham; the Harris Theater in Chicago and the Umbria Jazz Festival. <\/p>\n Last year, Patrick Girondi & The Orphan\u2019s Dream released its seventh album, \u201cOrphan\u2019s Final Chapter<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n One of the band\u2019s recent concerts, in December 2023 was held in the magical Castellana Caves in Puglia, Italy \u2013 122 meters underground. Greats, such as Bocelli, Dire Straits, Pavarotti and others have performed in the mystical cavern which is over 2 kilometers long. In attendance was the Ann Arbor University of Michigan Team. It was a Hymn to healing, peace, and Christmas.<\/p>\n Girondi is also the founder of San Rocco Therapeutics (SRT), a biotechnology company focusing on genetic cures for rare diseases (designated as \u201cOrphan\u2019s Diseases\u201d), specifically blood disorders Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia. <\/p>\n The group ties music to the struggles of rare disease. The San Rocco project is unique in that management uses science and art to reach out to patients and healthcare professionals. Megan Euker<\/a>, SRT\u2019s Project Manager, has had several National and international exhibitions demonstrating the synergies of art and science. One of her shows was held at the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago to push the \u201cpatients first\u201d San Rocco agenda.<\/p>\n Patrick Girondi, involved in the health industry for three decades, states that \u201cWe can not allow healthcare to become an industry prescribing therapies for the benefit of pharmaceutical companies and doctors. Healthcare must be about patients, not about profits.\u201d<\/p>\n Girondi was invited by the U.S.A. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy last May to discuss strategy focusing on healthcare. Both men recently authored books addressing the scandal-plagued pharmaceutical industry. Girondi\u2019s \u201cFlight of the Rondone — High School Dropout VS Big Pharma: The Fight to Save My Son\u2019s Life\u201d and Kennedy\u2019s \u201cThe Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health,\u201d were both released by Skyhorse Publishing. At the meeting with Girondi, Kennedy promised, \u201cI will work to rebuild trust in public health institutions, that Girondi would be a part of the team to make US healthcare better and that the Patrick Girondi & The Orphan\u2019s Dream could play for Kennedy\u2019s inauguration.\u201d<\/p>\n Flight of the Rondone made the Wall Street Journal Bestseller List shortly after being released in May 2022. In the past 20 months, Girondi has released 5 books, with another soon to be published. \u201cNew City \u2013 A Story about Race Baiting and Hope on the South Side of Chicago” was released in February, 2023. \u201cFaded Genes,\u201d was released in October; \u201cBlind Faith\u201d was released in November; \u201cChivalry\u201d was released in January, 2024.<\/p>\n Acclaimed Writer\/producer of the film \u201cCut Throat City,\u201d P.G. Cuschieri of Joy Road Entertainment, has agreed to write the screen adaptation of \u201cFlight of the Rondone.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally this coming September, Patrick Girondi will release the expos\u00e9 book \u201cHealthcare Criminals: The Destruction of Bluebird Bio and Affordable Gene Therapy.\u201d Girondi\u2019s gripping book tells a true American saga which spans 30 years. The salvation of his son was sabotaged by morally-bankrupt vultures in the pharmaceutical industry, banking industry and venture capitalists. The economic cost and damage to patients and the US healthcare system, dwarves the Oxycontin, Vioxx, Paxil and EpiPen crimes combined.<\/p>\n All of Girondi\u2019s efforts go towards what is now a 30-year-long path towards a safe and accessible cure for Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia.<\/p>\n Patrick says, \u201cI’m happy to be coming to my old hometown of local friends to sing. My people in Italy often ask me about Chicago, the world renowned city of blues and jazz.\u201d <\/p>\n Originally from the south side of Chicago, Girondi now resides in Bari, Puglia, Italy. SRT was founded in Chicago and is now headquartered in both Tampa, Florida and Altamura, Italy.<\/p>\n Truth Prevails
