 CASA UNIVERSALE DELLE CULTURE

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture is a place strongly representative, in which will convey the knowledge of the different identities and cultures, structuring permanently initiatives aimed at the spreading of peace, necessary for the shared development.

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture (MdP) is a project conceived by Michele Capasso, approved by many Countries and international organizations. It is an architecture that keeps the memory of many Peace activities which created history, often more than the wars, but it is – above all – a space "to build” Peace.

The architectonical complex has an important symbolic worth: it represents the Countries of the World engaged in the Peace process and the Countries victim of the conflicts.

Proposed by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the “Maison des Alliances” – together with the main adherent organizations, such as the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, the League of Arab States, the "Anna Lindh" Euro-Mediterranean Foundation and others, the MdP represents a referent point for all the ones who dedicate their lives to peace.

The symbol of the MdP is the "Totem for Peace", an artwork by the Italian sculptor Mario Molinari which the Fondazione Mediterraneo is promoting all around the world, creating the network of the "Cities for Peace".

The first seat of the MdP was inaugurated on the 14th of June 2010 (Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture) in the historical building of the Grand Hotel de Londres in Naples.

The action of the Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture aims at improving the main activities of the "Universal Forum of Cultures" in: Barcelona (2004), Monterrey (2007), Valparaiso (2010) and Naples (2013).

The Maison de la Paix performs most of the initiatives jointly with the Maison de la Méditerranée.

Acts of tension before the conference begins. Twenty or so protesters attempted to break through the security lines of the security forces, protesting against government reforms, from the Jobs Act to the Good School, to the cry of "away from Naples".
Security reasons then suggested postponing the next visit to the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Museum of Peace - MAMT, which is located a hundred meters from the Theatre Mercadante.

At 14.00.30th session with the report by Claudio De Vincenti, Minister of the Mezzogiorno, followed by the speeches of Morning columnist Massimo Adinolfi, Dorina Bianchi for Ap, Mara Carfagna for Forza Italia, Maria Chiara Carrozza for the PD, Stefano Fassina for the sinistra italiana and Roberto Fico for the movimento cinque stelle, as well as the editorialist of il mattino Isaia Sales. During the sessions, live videos and testimonies of young people from the south who live on their own skin about the uncertainty of the future from students, graduates or unemployed.
