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. |

Hundreds of posters bear the inscription "NO TENIM POR"(WE ARE NOT AFRAID). It is especially children who hold them in their hands.
I was in Barcelona a few days before the attack in the same places. Returning today, although with the shield of half a million people, is not the same thing!
Cities are like men: they are born, grow, grow, develop, fall ill and can die.
Barcelona - such as Paris, Munich, Nice, London and many other cities affected by the terrorist attacks - will never be able to return again as before. They will have to learn to work out what happened and to live with each other, continuing their journey through the history of the world.
Today was a beautiful day where the desire for freedom and democracy also prevailed over independent spirits who could create problems. That was not the case. "ALL UNITED WE WILL SONG", my father said. I would add: “ONLY UNITED WE WILL WIN”. ALSO AGAINST TERRORISM.

One of the presentations (in progress in various countries: see ENI CBC MED website) of the program for standard projects (about 84 Meuro) was held in Rome at the International Conference Room of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) ENI CBC Med.
The program director Dr. Anna Catte. attended the presentation.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo promotes this program with its network, spreading it to the largest number of interested parties.
Starting in 2014, the ENPI (European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument) program has been replaced by the new ENI (European Neighborhood Instrument) program, which provides more support to the 16 partner countries to the east and south of the EU's borders.
ENI will continue to provide most of the funding to European neighboring countries, mainly through bilateral, regional and cross-border cooperation programs.
The 13 countries that are currently part of the Joint Programming Committee, namely Cyprus, Egypt, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, the Palestinian National Authority, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia, have discussed several issues including:

In the 22nd anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, thousands of people gathered in the Potocari memorial cemetery, near Srebrenica, to pay homage to the 8,372 victims of the genocide committed in 1995 by the Bosnian Serbs of Ratko Mladic, and to participate at the funeral of another 71 victims identified in the last year. 5,000 participants in the March of Peace arrived in Potocari. Of the 71 victims buried this year alongside the 6,504 existing graves, there are also seven minors: the youngest is Damir Suljic, who was killed only 15 years, while the oldest is Alija Salihovic, 72 years old.
The 6,662 victims of the genocide so far identified with the DNA method, of which 233 at the behest of the families are not buried in Potocari, were found in 81 mass graves. We are still looking for the remains of 1,100 victims of the genocide officially considered 'missing'.
The Fondazione Mediterraneo, founded precisely to help these innocent victims, appeals to the world to prevent genocide of this kind from occurring again.
