The top of the Totem for Peace, 16 metres high with its Red Sail, stands out against the sky of Cilento in a magic of lights and colours.
The citizens of Rutino are proud of their Totem for Peace and thankful to the Fondazione Mediterraneo for this chance of going down in history.
With an evocative ceremony, "flying" on a cable at a height of 30 metres between the bell tower of the Church of San Michele Arcangelo and the top of the Totem for Peace, the little Rutino inhabitant Emilio Vinci – as an “Angel of Peace” – opened the unveiling ceremony of the monumental work located in the same square where the Proclamation of the Garibaldi insurrection was announced.
The whole town of Rutino celebrated the Totem for Peace that became, together with the Monumental Church, the distinction symbol of the town and the whole Cilento.
At the end of the unveiling of the Totem for Peace, the Fondazione Mediterraneo nominated the first "Peacekeepers".
