Predrag Matvejevic’ and Michele Capasso - in the framework of the project "Laboratory for the Greater Mediterranean" and the "United States of the World" - organised a first meeting in Naples entitled "THE MEDITERRANEAN AND MITTELEUROPA".
Experts and specialists from various countries participated. Among them: Claudio Magris, Khaled Fouad Allam, Nedim Gursel, Massimo Cacciari, Nullo Minissi, Biagio de Giovanni, Naguib Mahfouz (from a distance), Vaclav Havel, Giorgy Konrad, Victor Zmegac, Francois Fejtò, Egi Volterrani, Luciana Stegagno Picchio.
At the end of the works, Egi Volterrani proposed a meeting with Gustavo Ról in Turin to deepen his idea of the "United States of the World".
This meeting will give rise to the volume "Epistolario dell'altra Europa" (edited by Predrag Matvejevic') and "Europa Orientale" by Nullo Minissi.
During a meeting between the architect Michele Capasso and the writer Predrag Matvejevic', the idea of setting up a "Workshop for the Greater Mediterranean" was born within the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD: the aim is to promote dialogue and cooperation through concrete actions within a coalition of shared values and interests among all the countries that make up the "Greater Mediterranean": the EU countries, those that face onto the southern shore of the Mediterranean, together with those that face onto the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf.
"As of tonight, the border is open". This announcement by the leader of the Berlin Communist Party, Gunter Schabowsky, on 9 November 1989 marked the start of the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the true symbol of the Cold War, built in 1961 by the regime headed by Walter Ulbricht.
