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!

CELEBRATES THE WORLD DAY AGAINST THE TREATMENT OF HUMAN BEINGS TO THE MUSEUM OF PEACE

Great excitement among visitors to the Museum of Peace and the emotional journey dedicated to the "Voices of Migrants" and trafficking in human beings, on the occasion of the "World Day against Trafficking in Human Beings".
In collaboration with the "Don Bosco Missions" in the world, visitors were able to see videos and documents that testify to this catastrophe of our days, which produces 21 million victims!
In connection with Piazza San Pietro, Pope Francis' appeal:"I wish to recall the commitment of all to ensure that this aberrant scourge, a form of modern slavery, is adequately opposed. Let us pray together to the Virgin Mary to support the victims of trafficking and convert the hearts of traffickers.”
And then he concluded with a tonearm:"It seems that they are so used to it that they consider it a normal thing. This is ugly, cruel and criminal!
The President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella uses strong words to condemn the trafficking in human beings that is causing thousands of victims. His note reads:"The international community cannot witness these tragedies. Most victims of trafficking are women and children. Their cry of pain does not remain unheard of. Their right to life and fundamental rights are closely linked to our own. No people or citizens can remain indifferent as long as only one human being is forced to live as a slave. In the Mediterranean, this commitment has a great deal to do with the fight against the criminal gangs that manage the smuggling of migrants and refugees".
"Trafficking in human beings is an atrocious and unacceptable crime, which is periodically reaffirmed in the history of humanity and challenges our consciences - continued the Head of State - It is important that the United Nations has decided to dedicate a World Day against trafficking in human beings, with the aim of raising awareness among citizens and institutions, recalling each one of them to the moral duty and civil dignity of a fight without frontiers against these forms of slavery. It is necessary to fight this anti-human traffic with all the necessary energies, and also with an overview".
Mattarella identifies urgent action to be taken:"Cooperation and development should be promoted to dry up the catchment areas of extreme poverty, which lead to the relying on unscrupulous criminal organisations. We must stop weapons that destabilise entire societies, in order to promote peace, rights and civilisation. At the same time, it is necessary to identify and strike with appropriate instruments the traffickers' organisations, breaking networks of complicity and connivance".
"In international law, trafficking in human beings is distinct from illegal smuggling of migrants, but it is also supported and fuelled by ruthless and bloodthirsty gangs that drive their victims towards conditions of servitude and personal annihilation. The solidarity and civilisation of Europeans must be put at the service of an effective fight against these death merchants,"concludes the President of the Republic.
