On the occasion of the "Day of Migrants and Refugees", the city of Naples paid tribute to the "Totem of Peace" (Molinari sculptor) with the urn of the Unknown Migrant, which became the symbol of the refugees who launch an appeal against the closure of the ports, for a policy of welcoming and integrating all those fleeing wars.
