TOTEM FOR PEACE

The "Totem for Peace" is a trademark duly filed in accordance with the regulations. Therefore, any initiatives undertaken by third parties using that trademark or the word "Totem for Peace" in any context and for whatever purpose, it integrates to all intents and purposes the case of trademark infringement.

The "Totem of Peace", the work of the Turin sculptor Mario Molinari, is the symbol of the "United States of the World" and represents the Peace: it was chosen in 1997 by 3,000 representatives of 181 countries and since then the "United States of the World" with the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" are spreading this universal symbol by setting up the network of "Cities for Peace".
The sculptor Mario Molinari was an artist of clear fame, sensitive to the themes of peace and dialogue between cultures, as evidenced by his numerous works and his life.
The cultural project of the "Totem of Peace" is carried out in the world by Michele Capasso: dedicated, since 1987, to the construction of dialogue as a tool for the mediation of conflicts, he combines his international experience of social and intercultural planning and planning with the professional one of architect and engineer.
Many countries have created the monumental work symbolising peace and coexistence between different peoples. Among the main ones are:

   

The sail that symbolizes the journey, the sea. This “Mare Nostrum” of ​​Ours which was the cradle of civilization, the scene of clashes and battles between the people who inhabited it but also and above all of the exchange of goods and knowledge. A sea celebrated in myth where Ulysses got lost, continuing to wander in his desperate search for his way back. The sail that turns red, at dawn and dusk, at departure and return in the immutable rhythm of the Universe .

(M. MOLINARI)

One of the first works of the "Totem for Peace" by sculptor Mario Molinari was placed in the Parliament of Rabat, Morocco, in 2010, between the main entrance and the office of King Mohammed VI: it was strongly desired by the then President Abdelwahed Radi and inaugurated in the presence of the Presidents of the Parliaments of the Euro-Mediterranean countries.
Today, a delegation of the "United States of the World", led by Secretary-General Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari, in the presence of the Italian Ambassador to Morocco Armando Barucco and the highest officials of the Assembly of Representatives, renewed the importance of the symbol, which will be further disseminated in parliaments around the world next year, when the delegations of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliaments and those of the Inter-Parliamentary Union will meet in Rabat.
"After that of the United Nations, the recognition of Parliaments around the world strengthens the action of our institution and its symbol: the Totem for Peace" - Capasso said at the end of the meeting.
‘We are honoured to have been among the first to host the Totem for Peace,’ said Parliamentary Secretary General Najib El Khadi, and our commitment is to strengthen the mission of the United States of the World by bringing the Totem for Peace, its symbol, to the Parliaments of various countries.
