The Fondazione Mediterraneo, in partnership with academies, universities and various countries around the world, presented at the Museum of Peace – MAMT, "THE REPUBLIC OF SPACE": a long-term project aimed at protecting, preserving, enhancing and promoting the heritage of humanity in the main categories.

“We live in a difficult moment in our history - said the president Michele Capasso - in which the fluid dimension seems to be predominant: values, climate change, art, creativity, crafts, collective memories and much more seem to have no more meaning and everything appears at the mercy of an "anomalous" wave capable of upsetting the world by taking everything away.

To save the immense material and immaterial world heritage it is necessary to act "Beyond" and "Other": creating a real dimension outside our planet, precisely in Space, where to protect, safeguard, enhance and promote the most significant part of the assets world heritage. From artistic heritage - at risk of earthquakes, floods and climatic events - to collective immaterial memories, from the most significant documents of history to poems, from ancient knowledge to new technologies: a list nourished of things to be preserved and protected, both at an intangible and material".

On the occasion of the celebrations of the thirtieth anniversary of the birth of the Fondazione Mediterraneo  - scheduled for 2020 - the executive project and the general criteria of "The Republic of Space" will be presented in various countries.

Large number of visitors to the Museum of Peace to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Among the videos projected "Berlin: escape for freedom". A significant moment was the testimony of the President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso, who was present in Berlin on 9 November 1989:
"I still have vividly in my mind that moment when I fervently hoped that the dream of the United States of the World - born from an intuition of the great Gustavo Rol in 1987 - and, in this context, of the United States of Europe and the Greater Mediterranean, could be realised. Since then, after symbolically hitting that Wall with a rudimentary hammer together with thousands of young people, my commitment has never stopped and will always be constant because peace does not need ways to be sought every time to achieve it: PEACE IS THE ONLY WAY to the salvation of humanity. The United States of Europe, enlarged to include Russia and Turkey, is an insurance policy for REAL PEACE; but today Europe is asleep, it does not understand its own history and the risk of a new war at the initiative of Russia is just around the corner".
