Ezio Redditi, accompanied by his wife Claudia, donated to the Museum of Peace - MAMT a very special crib titled “ Il Presepe a spirale Terra - Cielo”. It is derived from the trunk of a tree and, with a Carthusian work, develops on a spiral on whose top the Nativity is located. An extraordinary commitment, a real masterpiece for visitors to the Museum. Thanks to Ezio and Claudia Redditi!

In the occasion of Christmas the Fondazione Mediterraneo pubblish the book of Sister Maria Pia Giudici titled “SANTA MARIA DEL QUOTIDIANO” : watercolors and reflections that Sister Maria Pia has made to remind the humility of the Madonna.
In his texts we reade:
“These my humble attempts to evoke you in the colors, I want to dedicate them to SANTA MARIA DEL QUOTIDIANO because it is a title that seems to me to be an important aspect of your being Virgin Mary and Bride. Church, statues, even cathedrals, have been dedicated to you. They called you Santa Maria delle Rose, Santa Maria del Frassino, Madonna dei Bisognosi, Santa Maria della Rupe, Santa Maria delle tre fontane, Santa Maria del Pozzo. This is a rich and meaningful repertoire. Here I want to summon Your greatness, your bright, but not dazzling life. Here is the title: SANTA MARIA DEL QUOTIDIANO. Because you are completely woman, you have lived the woman’s daily life at the time, when the woman did not conferences or university lessons. With this I did not want to allude to a primacy of the "housewife" and I do not wish to return to the times when "Berta filava". I have met gorgeous women with soul transparency and superior intellectual skills in university such as Maria Sticco, I have read with admiration Maria Curie's life, a great research scientist as her husband. Yet, timidly but with affection, I wanted it to be the color in the white blue tones to "sing of You", or Mother, the essence of the feminine: a humble greatness that, in everyday life, reveals itself with full adherence to God, a mystery that was revealed to you by the Archangel on the day of the Annunciation. Yes, in the course of all your days, you have collaborated with your Lord and Son most beloved to the salvation of the world, the world that is not saved by the stunning gestures but by a love that becomes a service especially in the daily life.”
The Fondazione Mediterraneo adheres to the day when UNICEF asks everyone to tell the situation of Syrian children and citizens, just a few days from Christmas, to find themselves in public places or in their homes with a symbolic blanket to say enough to the war in Syria. President Michele Capasso - present in Rome and Naples - recalled the Foundation's commitment for the Syria already since 2009 with appeals and concrete solidarity initiatives (aid to refugees and children from Aleppo).
The president Michele Capasso took part in the seminar organized by the Order of Architects of Naples and the Foundation of the same name on the theme "Urban suburbs: a challenge possible". With a report on "Intercultural City and Relationships", President Capasso addressed issues related to the city's crisis and the need to think of new models that see the relationships between different cultures at the center of the process of transforming cities and suburbs. The seminar - moderated by the journalist Marco de Marco - saw, among others, the Interventions of Pio Crispino, Gennaro Polichetti, Carmine Piscopo, Antonio Coppola, Francesco Scardaccione, Micheleangelo Russo, Rosario Pavia, Mariano Faraone Mennella, Luca Zevi and Maurizio Di Stefano.
