The Fondazione Mediterraneo took part in numerous events to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Unity.
Beautiful fireworks of the Notte Tricolore and the three circles in green, white and red which illuminated the Mole Antonelliana at midnight. Despite the driving rain, tens of thousands of people invaded the streets of Turin in a huge common party.
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.
On the occasion of the celebrations for the 150th Anniversary of the Italian Unity, the president of Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso has informed the President of the Province of Turin Antonio Saitta that he has been granted the “Medal Honour” of the Mediterranean Award 2011, representing the Totem for Peace realized by the sculptor Mario Molinari. The official awarding ceremony will be held in Naples during the month of May.
