On the occasion of President Giorgio Napolitano’s visit to the Officine Grandi Riparazioni for the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Unity, the Fondazione Mediterraneo has presented the Tricolored Totem for Peace that will be unveiled in Turin on 4 May, as a symbol of peace to celebrate the Unity. The initiative has been unanimously appreciated by Prefect Manzo and other authorities.
The Tricolored Totem for Peace is an initiative promoted by Fondazione Mediterraneo in cooperation with the Municipality and Province of Turin.
Prefect Pasquale Manzo has handed over the red shirt identical to those bought by Nino Bixio for Garibaldi in 1859 to the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano and, at the same time, has strongly appreciated and promoted the project of the Totem for Peace that the Fondazione Mediterraneo is disseminating worldwide.
The realization of the “Tricolored Totem for Peace” in Turin has been started up after the Municipal Council’s resolution approved on 15 March 2011. It is the work of the Turinese sculptor Mario Molinari that, on the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Unity, will be the greatest tricolour artwork ever realized in Italy.
