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. |

Two weeks after the attack at Bardo Museum, in which 22 people lost their lives, thousands of people joined the rally against terrorism. Among them there were also Tunisian authorities and leaders of foreign countries as Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, French President François Hollande and the President Abu Mazen.
In his encounter with Abu Mazen Michele Capasso talked with him about Abu Mazen visit in Fondazione Mediterraneo. Already years before the President was concerned about the increase of terrorist danger in Arab countries as Tunisia which are undertaking the difficult path of democracy and peaceful coexistence among different cultures and civilizations.
The official slogan is "The world is Bardo". Before the start of the march the premier Habib Essid announced the murder of the leader of the terrorist group by Tunisian task forces. He is Khaled Chaib, known also as Lokman Abou Sakher. Lokman was leader of the local terrorist group Ukba Ibn Nafi whose headquarters is in the Chaambi mountains at the borders with Algeria. The premier affirmed that the kill of Chaib happened yesterday in Gafsa region. As it has happened also in the aftermath of terrorist attacks to the French journal Charlie Hebdo: "Tunisia is not alone – the president Renzi said – we are here to show our support to this country. We are not surrending to terrorists and we will keep fighting for peace and freedom ideals".
