29 January 2012
President Michele Capasso together with Pia Molinari and members of the Executive Scientific Board expressed their profound condolences over the death of the Former President of the Italian Republic, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro. “He was a true statesman and served the common good”, declared Michele Capasso, “a man who believed that the “ethic” of the Constitution should be transmitted to young people as a value in its own right rather than merely as a legal instrument”. Michele Capasso concluded, “I will always remember the paternal affection with which, in the presence of Heads of States and Governments meeting in Naples under the auspices of the Fondazione Mediterraneo in 1997, he urged me to continue my journey as an architect of peace and dialogue” |

The 17th Edition of the Epiphany Concert was held in Naples on 5th January 2012 and traditionally symbolizes the end of annual Christmas celebrations. Music was used as a form of artistic expression to overcome racial, cultural and religious differences in a spirit of universal friendship. The concert was performed at the Teatro Medirerraneo and included famous artists who spread the message of friendship, peace, and solidarity.

Diversity of expression was symbolically represented by a symphony of diverse musical genres. The Epiphany Concert, which has been broadcast by the RAI since 1994, is an expression of commitment to intercultural and inter-religious dialogue as well as an opportunity with which to promote and build greater social awareness around the city of Naples.
