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. |

Don Peppe Diana was remembered 23 years after the barbaric assassination with a series of events in the Museum of Peace - MAMT where there is a permanent section dedicated to him.
Don Peppe Diana was killed by the Camorra on March 19,1994 in his church in Casal di Principe, while he was about to celebrate mass. The murderers did not content themselves with chilling him, they also wanted to burn his body with further shots of gun at the lower abdomen to falsely indicate a sexual motive and thus try to prevent it from becoming the symbol of the ransom of a people harassed by organized crime. A largely successful operation in fact, if it took 21 years for the diocese of Aversa to decide to ask the Holy See to initiate the cause of beatification that must recognize the martyrdom of Don Peppe.
The reasons for which the parish priest of Casal di Principe was killed came to light in the trial that condemned his murders, but only in the second degree and then in the Supreme Court, when the judges overturned the sentence of first degree and ruled against the hypothesis of custody by the parish priest of weapons, a fact that had triggered the mud machine against Don Diana, making the image of a priest close to the people prevail.
According to the reconstruction of Fr Diana, Father Diana refused to celebrate the funeral in church of a criminal, and this gesture was considered too hard to bear.
Three days later the grandson of the dead, in fact, entered the sacristy and fired at the priest.
Don Diana pursued the obstinate defence of his boys exposed to the evil of corruption and delinquency. And the spiritual testament "For the love of my people I will not silence" is a manifesto that commits not to remain silent in the face of "any ambiguous compromise or unjust privilege".
