THE MAISON DE LA PAIX

 

 CASA UNIVERSALE DELLE CULTURE

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture is a place strongly representative, in which will convey the knowledge of the different identities and cultures, structuring permanently initiatives aimed at the spreading of peace, necessary for the shared development.

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture (MdP) is a project conceived by Michele Capasso, approved by many Countries and international organizations. It is an architecture that keeps the memory of many Peace activities which created history, often more than the wars, but it is – above all – a space "to build” Peace.

The architectonical complex has an important symbolic worth: it represents the Countries of the World engaged in the Peace process and the Countries victim of the conflicts.

Proposed by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the “Maison des Alliances” – together with the main adherent organizations, such as the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, the League of Arab States, the "Anna Lindh" Euro-Mediterranean Foundation and others, the MdP represents a referent point for all the ones who dedicate their lives to peace.

The symbol of the MdP is the "Totem for Peace", an artwork by the Italian sculptor Mario Molinari which the Fondazione Mediterraneo is promoting all around the world, creating the network of the "Cities for Peace".

The first seat of the MdP was inaugurated on the 14th of June 2010 (Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture) in the historical building of the Grand Hotel de Londres in Naples.

The action of the Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture aims at improving the main activities of the "Universal Forum of Cultures" in: Barcelona (2004), Monterrey (2007), Valparaiso (2010) and Naples (2013).

The Maison de la Paix performs most of the initiatives jointly with the Maison de la Méditerranée.

NO TENIM POR - WE ARE NOT AFRAID

Hundreds of posters bear the inscription "NO TENIM POR"(WE ARE NOT AFRAID). It is especially children who hold them in their hands.

I was in Barcelona a few days before the attack in the same places. Returning today, although with the shield of half a million people, is not the same thing!
Cities are like men: they are born, grow, grow, develop, fall ill and can die.
Barcelona - such as Paris, Munich, Nice, London and many other cities affected by the terrorist attacks - will never be able to return again as before. They will have to learn to work out what happened and to live with each other, continuing their journey through the history of the world.
Today was a beautiful day where the desire for freedom and democracy also prevailed over independent spirits who could create problems. That was not the case. "ALL UNITED WE WILL SONG", my father said. I would add: “ONLY  UNITED WE WILL WIN”. ALSO AGAINST TERRORISM.
