MAISON DES ALLIANCES (EN)

 

The spreading of terrorism on a planetary scale, the stalemate of the peace-keeping process and the ecological risks impose concrete efforts to meet new challenges: political, cultural, economic, social and environmental ones.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo has been concerned with these subjects, since 1994, working for the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (Union for the Mediterranean) and for the development of the relations between  Europe and the Arab World through actions aiming at promoting dialogue between the different cultures.

In order to strengthen relations and cooperation between Europe and the Arab World – especially at a moment when the global crisis and the increasing tensions in the Middle East risk to stop the dialogue started by social and institutional actors - it is indispensable to promote an organic reflection and to valorize the examples of good practices, so as to make the best use of the available resources.

For these reasons the Fondazione Mediterraneo – together with the League of the Arab States and other institutional partners from European and Arab World Countries - has decided to establish the Maison des Alliances,  whose  primary aim is to promote, in the global scene, the neighbourhood among the Peoples of Europe, of the Mediterranean and of the Arab World by dissemination of knowledge and of centuries-old historical-cultural  memories, in order to strengthen  community and solidarity feelings, as well as raising awareness of shared  values and interests.

The great director Alfredo Arias, a friend of the President of the “Fondazione Mediterraneo” Michele Capasso, was hosted at the “Maison des Alliances” at the performance at the Teatro San Ferdinando di “Napoli Teatro Festival” within the “Teatro Festival Italia” opera “Circo equestre Sgueglia”.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the United States of the World hosted personalities from the world of culture, arts, science, politics and the armed forces on the occasion of the 2013 America’s Cup World Series.

A unique spectacle from a place between whose walls pages of history have been written over the last twenty years... The Totem for Peace, Mario Molinari's "Red Sail", symbol of the United States of the World, became for one day also the symbol of the America's Cup in Naples.
On this occasion, all sports people participating in the Americas Cup were awarded with the titles of "Standard Bearers of the United States of the World".
