PROCIDA THE ISLAND OF EMOTIONS" AND "PINO DANIELE È TERRA MIA" VIDEOS PRESENTED TO THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS

From 27 to 30 October 2021, the Fondazione Mediterraneo hosted media representatives from various countries for the promotion of the videos of the Museo della Pace - MAMT made with the contribution in support of interventions, activities and services aimed at the development, promotion and valorisation of Museums and Collections of local authority and local interest, financial year 2021 (L.R. 23 February 2005, n.12 and reg. att. N.5 of 18.12.2006)".
The first video, "PINO È TERRA MIA", is about 120 minutes long and shows the entire path of Pino Daniele's life and career as a musician with the fundamental underlining of the link to his homeland. From "Napul'è" to "Terra mia", the fundamental stages are retraced - with the historic concert in Piazza del Plebiscito on 19 September 1981 - so as to represent the value of an example for the new generations.
The second video, entitled "PROCIDA THE ISLAND OF EMOTIONS", recounts "the island that doesn't isolate", a cultural laboratory of social happiness, and focuses the story on "The island of inspirations", "The island of cinema", "The island of mysteries", "The island of peace" and, finally, "The island that is the Italian capital of culture for the year 2022".
Procida therefore presents itself as a subversive capital of culture because it is capable of questioning (subverting) our conception of space and the connections that structure it. This is the challenge of a video that not only has a documentary value but also highlights the island as a place of exploration, experimentation and knowledge, a model of contemporary cultures. The island of Procida is the elsewhere par excellence, it hides treasures or is a destination for escape, an expedient in the search for happiness. The island of Procida is a kingdom of doubles: opening/closing, welcoming/exclusion, freedom/reclusion, connection/distance.
Great appreciation from the representatives of various countries present - including the Tunisian ambassador to Italy, Minister Ben Achour and the Kyrgyz ambassador to Italy Taalay Bazarbaev.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: ISLAMIC ARTS IN CAMPANIA

The international conference entitled "Islamic Arts in Campania" was held in Naples, at the headquarters of the "United States of the World" and the "Museum of Peace - MAMT" (World Heritage Site), on 27 and 28 October 2021.
The event was held in both telematic and in-presence modes.
The conference was organised by the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo Onlus with the collaboration of ACLI Beni Culturali, ACLI Regionale Campania and ACLI Provinciale Napoli, with the aim of promoting initiatives and events related to the dissemination of Islamic culture in the Campania region.
The aim of the conference was to enhance the history of the Campania Region, which is rich in historical, literary and artistic references dating back to the period of the Arab presence in the area. The idea behind the project was to bring out these connections between the territory and Islamic art and to create an international meeting aimed at promoting the Islamic cultural wealth present in the Campania region.
In addition to enhancing the artistic cultural heritage, the conference was an ideal instrument to disseminate Islamic culture from different perspectives: a model of action for the peaceful integration of all cultures as well as publicising the region's artistic heritage wealth.
During the two days of work - also thanks to the extraordinary high-definition films dowry of the Museum of Peace - MAMT - a 'journey' was undertaken through the historical-artistic Islamic architectural heritage present in Italy and in Campania to tell the intertwined stories between Christianity and Islam and between West and East through a series of engaging iconographies.
"The enhancement of cultural heritage," said Prof. Michele Capasso, President of the Fondazione Laboratorio Mediterraneo Onlus, "is a privileged asset for sustainable development, tourism and innovation of the 'country system'. Design for cultural heritage, together with the presentation of workshops, can offer the means to network and make this little-known heritage usable".
