The Tricolour waved at the headquarters of the United States of the World and the Fondazione Mediterraneo on the occasion "Italian Republic Day".
The city of Naples celebrated Republic Day with a ceremony in Piazza Plebiscito. Here, in the presence of the Prefect, Claudio Palomba, the Mayor, Gaetano Manfredi, the Secretary General of the United States of the World, Michele Capasso, and the highest civil, religious, and military authorities, the flag-raising ceremony took place.
The event was opened by the Children's Voices Choir of the San Carlo Theatre, which performed famous opera arias.
"We are extremely pleased with the presence of the children," said Prefect Palomba, "this is a celebration above all for them and it was built with this in mind. It is a difficult time for everyone, but we must work for cohesion and cooperation as the President of the Republic, Mattarella, said".
The interforce was deployed in the square and the prefect read out the Head of State's message. "Our city is a gold medal for military valour for the great resistance it put up against Nazi-Fascism," recalled Mayor Manfredi, "and I believe that today is a very beautiful day because it unites a city in great splendour with a city that is increasingly democratically committed.
At the close of the ceremony, the personnel of the Naples provincial fire brigade command, accompanied by the notes of the Hymn of Joy and the Hymn of Mameli performed by the Fanfare of the 10th Campania Carabinieri Regiment and the San Carlo white voices choir, lowered a large Italian flag onto the façade of the Prefecture.
"I very much share the Head of State's words. The great challenges we face are helping our young people to have a better future and reducing the inequalities that hurt our communities. These must be the great battles of all of us to save the Earth and ensure Peace," said Secretary General Capasso at the end of the Republic Day ceremony in Piazza Plebiscito during which the Prefect, Claudio Palomba, read out President Mattarella's message.
Present at the ceremony was Dr. Maria Pia Balducci Molinari, director of the Museum of Peace, where students from various regions were hosted throughout the day while videos and films on the Constitution and the history of the Italian Republic were broadcast on 107 video walls.

President Michele Capasso and Director Pia Molinari spent a few days in Marrakech, the Pink City, for Foundation events.
For President Capasso, this is the 49th time he has visited what he considers his "second city", after Naples. Much has changed since his first visit in 1988 and the effects of globalisation are evident: nevertheless, the climate, atmosphere, smells and tastes bring to mind a magical, intimate Marrakech, waiting to be discovered.
After a visit with friends to the Majorelle gardens, the Koutubia and other places in the city, we visited the atelier of dear Said Margoul, who recently passed away.
Emotion and emotion were intertwined in a feeling of affection and complicity with the city and its inhabitants.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo paid tribute at the Museum of Peace - MAMT to Abdelwahed Radi, who died on Sunday 26 March 2023 in a Paris clinic.
Deeply moved, Michele Capasso, President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo, recalled the most significant moments of a fraternal friendship that lasted more than 25 years.
"Abdelwahed Radi had a rich life. A politician like no other in Morocco, he was a leading figure in the modern history of the country. The number of personalities present at his funeral at the Chouhadas cemetery in Rabat, two days after his death, is enough to illustrate his stature. Among them, Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan himself and Prince Moulay Rachid," said Michele Capasso, recalling the many moments that characterised a friendship that lasted more than a quarter of a century: from the inauguration of the Totem for Peace in Rabat to the ceremony as honorary citizen in San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, from the Forums for human rights to the many battles for the marginalised in society.
On this occasion, a volume was presented dedicated to the relations between the Foundation and Morocco, where President Radi is, with King Hassan II and King Mohammed VI, an absolute protagonist.
At the end of his life, President Radi published a book to tell his story, his life: lived to the full.
Many guests at the museum wished to remember the great statesman.
