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. |

After participating in the ceremonies for the Festa della Repubblica Italiana in Barcelona, President Capasso spent many hours traveling through the city with all public transport available: bus, tram, metro, taxi, cable car, bicycle, boat, motorbike.
From the most popular suburbs to the centre, it strikes the civic sense and care for the city: clean streets, modern and intact public transport, well-kept gardens and even lawns on which the fast tram glides for miles (with "simple" access for the handicapped) well maintained and verdant.
A sense of order and care that confirms the role of great European and Mediterranean capital of Barcelona.
President Capasso congratulated Felip Roca, Director of External Relations of the Barcelona City Council.
