In the context of the Yacht Med Festival and on the occasion of the presentation of the book NostroMareNostro by Michele Capasso, the Mediterranean Award "Medal of Honour" 2010 was delivered to the young artist from Latina Cecilia Chiavelli, for the work the artist titled as the book NostroMareNostro by Michele Capasso.
The work is an oil painting of 150 cm X 100 cm representing a stylized “M” realized with natural materials from the Mediterranean land, as pebbles of the sea symbolizing "souls" and "faces".
“The meaning of the work – said the President of Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso, awarding the artist - is a message of solidarity and union among the communities of the Mediterranean".
During the inauguration of the first "Totem for Peace", Fondazione Mediterraneo distributed the "T-shirts of Peace", reproducing the "totem" by the sculptor Molinari and the meaning of the Totem as a universal symbol of peace.
