Accompanied by Mario and Pia Molinari, Michele Capasso met Gustavo Rol at his home in Turin in Via Silvio Pellico: just a few steps from the Molinari "House Museum" in Via Saluzzo in Turin.
"It was an extraordinary and enlightened meeting that changed my life," said architect Capasso. "The 'United States of the World' project will accompany all my initiatives from now on. It is an indispensable action to counter the enemies that humanity itself is producing and growing: destruction of creation with climate change, pandemics, social injustice, wars, destruction of fundamental values".

"A great synergy of collaborations developed throughout history, broader and more productive than the wars that have occurred," say Capasso and Matvejevic'. Matvejevic' proposes to hold a conference at the beginning of 1990 on the subject of 'The Mediterranean and Central Europe'.

"As of tonight, the border is open". This announcement by the leader of the Berlin Communist Party, Gunter Schabowsky, on 9 November 1989 marked the start of the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the true symbol of the Cold War, built in 1961 by the regime headed by Walter Ulbricht.
