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. |

The Fondazione Mediterraneo, which is present with its network of humanitarian initiatives, launched a heartfelt appeal from Gaza to Shimon Perez and Abu Mazen to suspend the war effort.
"The President of the United States has said: 'If rockets were fired at my house, at me and my children, I would certainly react,' the text reads, 'and that is right! But he did not say what he would do if the neighbour entered his home, occupied room after room, and responded to any opposition to the invasion with kidnapping, destruction and killing. President Abu Mazen has sought every possible agreement and has achieved nothing. What else is left for a people but to express their revolt?
But blind faith in force has destroyed all compassion, rejected all dialogue and stands proud in Gaza amidst the ruins and death of civilians as well as in Israel amidst the fear and victims of rockets from Gaza.
Europe and the governments of the West, just as they were silent when the holocaust of the Jews was being prepared and perpetrated, now stand back with empty words, waiting for the victor to give them the appearance of having brokered peace when the fighting is over.
It is up to civil society to rise up and say enough!
To say loud and clear that human values, which are the hard-won part of its history and the glory of its culture, must be respected, now and immediately, in Gaza, in Tel Aviv, in Jerusalem and everywhere".
