The meeting of the “ad hoc” Scientific Committee of the Mediterranean Foundation was held in full compliance with the “covid 19” rules for the definition of the emotional videos to be included on the web platform “LA CAMPANIA DELLE EMOZIONI”. The Committee, chaired by profs. Michele Capasso and Massimo Pica Ciamarra, first of all expressed thanks for the qualified "voluntary" work, carried out by experts and men and women of culture, aimed both at the selection of images from the filmed material concerning 16 cultural attractions of Campania (Naples, Avellino, Benevento, Royal Palace of Caserta, Salerno, Vesuvius, Pompeii, Baia and Cuma, Amalfi Coast, Sorrento Coast, Capri, Ischia, Procida, Certosa di Padula, Paestum and Herculaneum) and the selection of famous phrases by travelers, poets, writers, etc. . to be inserted as subtitles in the various videos. President Capasso summarized the reasons for the project, due to the requests of the majority of visitors and tourists to the Museum to be able to enjoy the emotional videos on the 16 UNESCO World Heritage attractions of the Campania Region - already a gift of the Museum - not only in the physical spaces of the Museum headquarters in Naples in via Depretis, 130 but also on an "ad hoc" web platform, in order to make them usable and enjoyable all over the world: a need that has been further strengthened with the spread of the Covid 19 pandemic.

On this occasion, also in the name of the Island of Lampedusa, olive branches from the island were laid: an ideal bond which was strengthened also in consideration that the relics of migrants contained in the urn of the "Totem of Peace" in the Port of Naples (inaugurated by Pope Francis on 21 March 2015) were brought by the Commander of the Coast Guard of Lampedusa.
The architect Vincenzo Latina adhered to the proposal to create a similar monumental work within the project he developed for the recovery of the Lampedusa quarries.
