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. |

The Assembly of the Network of Euro-Mediterranean Universities "ALMAMED", an autonomous section of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and member of the Italian ALF network, met in Rome. Among the topics are the recognition of curricula and student exchanges in a sort of "Mediterranean Erasmus" with strong government intervention for the issuing of visas: a problem that actually slows down and prevents exchanges and cooperation.

Great emotion in Fatima when Pope Francis, with the images of the two shepherds Francesco and Giacinto Marto behind him, canonizes them "SAINT" of the Church.
The applause of the oceanic crowd gathered around the Fatima Shrine wing exploded at the announcement.
Born in Alijusterel, less than two years apart, they died shortly after the apparitions (the first 100 years ago, on 13 May 1917) as Our Lady had announced. Short lives but sufficiently valid for the Catholic Church to recognize, for the first time in its 2000 years of history, the"heroic virtues and the maturity of the faith of non-martyr children".
