MAMT||Museo Mediterraneo dell' Arte, della Musica e delle Tradizioni (EN)

The MAMT- Mediterranean Museum of Art, Music and Traditions is an institution created by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the aim “to experience” in an interactive way, the positive emotions of Our Sea through Arts, Music and Traditions. The MAMT is one of the most important initiatives of Fondazione Mediterraneo: an active space created in order to let communicate Arts, Music and Traditions of the Mediterranean contemporary society. The awareness of a past full of ancient traditions is the base for the construction of a rational and connected humanity: the vastness of the Mediterranean area collects together the responsibility, the hard work and intelligence with the ability to share spaces and cultures. Today, more than ever, the sense of future is given by the awareness of the sorrow, of the conflicts and at the same time by the ability to share joys and bond.
Art and Music are since ever the tool of communication and sharing of the humanity that, in a particular “Mediterranean” path, allows us to overtake the violence of the human being that showed itself in his greater brutality in countries as Bosnia, Palestine, Syria and other places: as testify of this there are Bosnia, in order not to forget and Suffering and Hope in the world, exhibitions of the museum.

At the same time there are symbols inviting to meeting and hope appear in lands of desolation and Hush: The Ferrigno Nativity Scene, the exhibition a Sea, three Faiths, the Peace and the Last Neapolitan Supper are part of the Museum.
Near the Totem of Peace and other works by Mario Molinari, sculptor of the color, accompanies the lonely journey of freedom, the Dreamlike World of John Crown and the desire of participation and recognition of the role of women in the Mediterranean in the exhibition “Breaking the Veils, women artists of Islamic World”.
Fado, Flamenco, Tango and Sirtaki, the Song of Naples, the Great Lyric Operas, Arabic Music and the Classics of all the times catch the attention of the audience with the acoustic perfection of the “Music hall” of the Museum.
The section dedicated to Pino Daniele has a particular meaning.
The warm of the Mediterranean human nature and the awareness of the necessity to keep track, the the wealth and the fertility find in the “Section Architecture” – with the Associated presences of Alvaro Siza, Ciamarra Picas, Vittorio Di Pace, Nicola Pagliara, Marco Introini and others - and in the Voices of the Migrants and other strong point.
The artworks of Pietro and Rino Volpe mark Mediterranean signs in which the culture and the literature merge with the creativity making a unique collection.
A collection of HD video about the most important sites of the Campania Region will accompany the tourists of cruises and the visitors in the whole building: the ground floor facing on Municipio Square will host an info-point unique in its kind. The MAMT is also an articulated system of services in the heart of the city of Naples: the library, the emeroteque, the music hall, salt conventions, the restaurants, the Euromedcafé, the residences and the bookshop receive the visitor with sympathy and enthusiasm: that enthusiasm of the Mediterranean!

Sixty years ago, on 24 January 1965, Winston Churchill died. He was twice British prime minister, between 1940 and 1945 and between 1951 and 1955.
The "United States of the World" - with the Museum of Peace, where the "Churchill Room", in which the statesman stayed for a long time, is located - remembered him with a series of events and a meeting with students during which films of the British statesman's main speeches were shown.
He is still remembered today as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, who was able to make an entire people resist the bombing and destruction brought to British soil by the planes of Nazi Germany.
"I can promise you nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat", were his words at his inauguration in 1940.

PRESENTATION OF PIETRO PERONE'S BOOK: “PINO DANIELE. NAPOLI E L’ANIMA DELLA MUSICA, DAL MASCALZONE LATINO A GIÒGIÒ”.

The presentation of the book by Pietro Perone, journalist and editor-in-chief of the Mattino, entitled: "Pino Daniele. Napoli e l'anima della musica, dal mascalzone latino a Giògiò" (San Paolo Editions).
It is a book that speaks not only of Pino Daniele ten years after his untimely death, but of the city that the singer-songwriter narrated in its chiaroscuro. The Naples of yesterday, the one that reunited on the evening of 19 September 1981 with Pino and his band in Piazza Plebiscito, for the dream of a change that is still being chased today, and the Naples of today, the one that walks on two tracks: one is the beautiful carpet of tourism and the other the dirty pavement of truth that includes young people who kill their peers.
"It is not a festive book, explained the author - the idea of writing this book was born on 31 August 2023, when the news arrived at the editorial office that Giovanbattista Cutolo, 24, a musician and a student at the San Pietro a Maiella conservatory, had been killed. The same conservatory that Pino would have liked to attend, which he later failed to enrol in because the aunts who raised him convinced him that it was better to seek a permanent place by enrolling in accountancy. I asked myself: can Naples, where a boy who lived only on music was killed, still be the city of Pino Daniele? And I searched for the answers by picking up the verses of Pino's songs and there in those songs I found all the answers: there are continuous social messages, secular prayers for Naples to rise again. Pino's verses are more relevant today than ever, but while I was doing this work three other boys were killed: Emanuele, Santo, Arcangelo. The initial question became a desperate cry that is present in the book, but there is also the hope given by Pino and his verses".
