 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.

In particular for the children of Aleppo, a martyr city, President Capasso underlined the persistent chaos in the country and the vicious circle that tears hopes of dialogue and peace, hoping for a reawakening of consciences to put an end to a real genocide.

Pochi minuti fa Papa Francesco ha ricordato, qui a Piazza San Pietro, le tante guerre che infestano il mondo ed ha confermato, QUALE UNICO ANTIDOTO, il POTERE DELL'AMORE incarnato dal BAMBINO GESÙ.

Quando più di 25 anni orsono fondammo la Fondazione Mediterraneo assumemmo un impegno: TRASFORMARE L' "AMORE PER IL POTERE" nel "POTERE DELL'AMORE".

Di fronte ai bambini di Aleppo - ed a tutti quelli vittime di guerre, ingiustizie, soprusi, inganni - dobbiamo PERSEVERARE in questa azione: senza fermarci M A I :
solo il POTERE DELL'AMORE, DELL'ACCOGLIENZA, DELLA COESISTENZA potrà dare senso alla nostra vita ed aiutarci a costruire un futuro di pace e giustizia sociale.

BUON NATALE : con le immagini dei bimbi di Aleppo che, con le braccia aperte, come GESÙ BAMBINO, ci esortano a CREDERE nell' UOMO, nella SOLIDARIETÀ, nella COESISTENZA PACIFICA tra tutti i popoli del pianeta.
