With an evocative ceremony, "flying" on a cable at a height of 30 metres between the bell tower of the Church of San Michele Arcangelo and the top of the Totem for Peace, the little Rutino inhabitant Emilio Vinci – as an “Angel of Peace” – opened the unveiling ceremony of the monumental work located in the same square where the Proclamation of the Garibaldi insurrection was announced.

The top of the Totem for Peace, 16 metres high with its Red Sail, stands out against the sky of Cilento in a magic of lights and colours.
The citizens of Rutino are proud of their Totem for Peace and thankful to the Fondazione Mediterraneo for this chance of going down in history.
On Saturday the 7th of August at 7.00 p.m. the President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso and the Mayor of Rutino Michele Voria unveiled the work "Totem for Peace" by the sculptor Mario Molinari.
At the end of the unveiling ceremony of the Totem for Peace, the President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso with the mayors Michele Voria (Rutino), Piero Rustico (Ispica), Mario Mangione (Vernole), Giuseppe Capasso (San Sebastiano al Vesuvio) and Franco Alfieri (Agropoli) unveiled the panel – a work by skilful artists from Vietri sul Mare, coordinated by Prof. Giuseppe De Lorenzo – representing a planisphere with the main cities in the world that will build the Totem for Peace.
In only five weeks, despite of the technical difficulties and the bad weather, the work of the Totem for Peace by the sculptor Mario Molinari was completed.
