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”.

The section dedicated to Pino Daniele has a particular meaning.

A book of poetry, entitled "The oregano" will finance the purchase of tools for survival, the defribillators: to write the book was the journalist Olga Fernandes who presented it at the Museum of Peace - MAMT".
"In Italy - explains the writer - the victims of cardiac arrest are more than 70,000 every year, and more than 80% of deaths occur far from hospitals and health facilities, and in this sense it is significant that in 65% of cases the cardiac arrest hit in the presence of witnesses and 60% of these events happen on the street, data from which it is evident the importance of defibrillators on the territory, which brings undoubted benefits on the front of survival.The defibrillator is a very precious tool, because it allows a intervention as immediate as fundamental, since for the person affected by cardiac arrest, every minute that passes is vitally important: in just sixty seconds, in fact, it reduces its chances of staying alive by only 10%, after only 5 minutes of time , the chances of salvation fall to 50% But can you die only because a defibrillator is missing? " Olga Fernandes has therefore launched a campaign for the maximum diffusion of defibrillators and is devoting all her energies to trying to find as many of these tools as possible, and to make them available to the population.
"Pain changes us," says the journalist, "it changes our perceptions We are souls divided in two, between generosity and mistrust, we need to find the courage to change, to dedicate ourselves to helping others, through my campaign for defibrillators knowing extraordinary people, ready to commit themselves to others, for whom giving, helping and supporting is a source of joy. I sincerely thank all those who have collaborated and are collaborating in this campaign. "From next September Olga Fernandes will lead on Crc Targato Italia the transmission "l'ORigano informa", dedicated to these topics.
Of the book and the need to spread as much as possible the defibrillators have talked about it, together with the author Rony Aloia mayor of Vallo della Lucania (the first in Italy to include in the regulatory plan the obligation of defibrillators in new buildings and assignee of the "Premio l'ORigano"); the architect Gennaro Testa, the architect Patrizia Bottaro, the architect Emma Buondonno, Giovanny Block, singer-songwriter; Michele Capasso, president of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and "landlord", Stella Cervasio, journalist of the Republic, the architect Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Antonella De Cesare, conductor, Peppino di Capri, songwriter, Ciro Esposito, commander of the municipal police of Naples, i Naea, musical group and Sabatino Raia, singing teacher.
