Welcomed by the Secretary General of the "United States of the World" Prof. Michele Capasso, students and teachers from the Vittorio Veneto Institute of Naples, the Rue de La République Institute of Gabès (Tunisia) and Ciudad Real (Spain) visited the Museum of Peace MAMT with the "Totem for Peace" and the main emotional paths: in particular those dedicated to Mario Molinari, to migrants, to inter-religious dialogue - with the Mosque, the Synagogue and the holy places of Christianity.
After retracing the history of the museum, the students and teachers lingered on the panoramic terrace and then in the music room, the Churchill room and the room dedicated to cribs and the history of bread and pizza.
Particularly exciting was the lengthy viewing of the "Campania of emotions" videos: from Vesuvius to the Amalfi Coast, from Naples to the Royal Palace of Caserta. Guests from Spain and Tunisia were impressed by the beauty of the videos and the World Heritage sites.
A 3-language catalogue of the Museum was given to all of them. Many of the young people suggested an edition in 3 other languages (Spanish, German and Portuguese).
A historical procession with the Mayors of the municipalities of the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park and other authorities took place around the "Totem for Peace", located in Pescasseroli in front of the Park headquarters.
A ceremony was held in Oulx to affix the plaque to the work by sculptor Mario Molinari entitled 'Equilateral', dedicated to blood donors.
General Ignazio Gibilaro, Inter-Regional Commander of Southern Italy of the Guardia di Finanza, received a sample of the "Tricolored Totem for Peace" created on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy.
