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!

At the Museum of Peace - MAMT we remembered Sister Maria Pia Giudici on the second anniversary of her death. Pictures, poems, paintings, books, interviews and much more on the large video walls of the Museum recounted the long life of a religious who made the Gospel and love for Jesus the foundation of her existence.
President Michele Capasso was moved to tears as he recalled his long friendship with Sister Maria Pia and the example of a simple life in joy, well summed up in the film "MARIA PIA GIUDICI: THE JOY IN A SIMPLE LIFE".
In connection with the San Biagio House of Prayer (Subiaco) there was a touching moment of collective remembrance that ended with the intervention of Bishop Giovanni Giudici, Sister Maria Pia's nephew.
On this occasion the visits of Sister Maria Pia to the Don Bosco Museum and Chapel were recalled.

ANNIVERSARIES AT THE MUSEUM: 124 YEARS SINCE THE BIRTH OF ANTONIO DE CURTIS (alias Totò)

Special visits today to the Museum of Peace - MAMT dedicated to the emotional journey "Antonio De Curtis prince poet". The occasion is the 124th anniversary of the birth of the great artist who left his mark on history. His granddaughter Elena remembers him thus:
"Today my grandfather would have been 124 years old and a question comes to mind: An adjective to describe your grandfather?
Answer: I would say that one adjective would not be enough to describe a basically complex and contradictory man. A lover of life, but a hypochondriac. Sensitive, empathetic, sincere, introverted, womanizer, romantic, misanthrope, thinker, curious, affectionate father, humble, shy, elegant, reserved, generous. In short, I would define him as a democratic prince (I borrow the definition given by Prof. Luigi Caramiello, which I would say fits him perfectly).
Totò aroused the "smile" as well as laughter. The smile is deeper and makes us reflect. He represents the oxymoron par excellence. His biography is a piece of sublime humour, completely voluntary, conscious, deliberate.
A beggar who was also a gentleman, a lazar who was also an aristocrat. He was everything and the opposite of everything. He represented the most authentic and profound character of his city. All the people loved him and continue to love him. Everyone recognises him as a brother, because he showed the nobles how much better the poor people could be, and he showed the "lazzari" how one can be noble in spirit and have the art of living like a true gentleman. Grandfather lived an authentic life and left traces that will remain impressed in our memory.
This reflection is the result of notes collected over time from newspapers and books, so I would like to thank all the Totoisti and give my grandfather a caress saying: I love you very much.
