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”.

Large number of visitors to the Museum of Peace to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Among the videos projected "Berlin: escape for freedom". A significant moment was the testimony of the President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso, who was present in Berlin on 9 November 1989:
"I still have vividly in my mind that moment when I fervently hoped that the dream of the United States of the World - born from an intuition of the great Gustavo Rol in 1987 - and, in this context, of the United States of Europe and the Greater Mediterranean, could be realised. Since then, after symbolically hitting that Wall with a rudimentary hammer together with thousands of young people, my commitment has never stopped and will always be constant because peace does not need ways to be sought every time to achieve it: PEACE IS THE ONLY WAY to the salvation of humanity. The United States of Europe, enlarged to include Russia and Turkey, is an insurance policy for REAL PEACE; but today Europe is asleep, it does not understand its own history and the risk of a new war at the initiative of Russia is just around the corner".
