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)

The “Totem of Peace” by Molinari – under costruction in Procida - will be dedicated, as agreed in 2013, to "INNOCENT VICTIMS MIGRANTS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN". So it will be joined to the "Totem of Peace at the MFA" (dedicated to the fallen Italians in Afghanistan), the "Totem of Peace in Pescasseroli" (dedicated to the Alpine fallen in all the wars) and one under construction in Ramallah (dedicated to the innocent victims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict).

The “Totem of Peace" by Mario Molinari - that Fondazione Mediterraneo is spreding all over the world – will be realized in Ramallah and dedicated to the innocent victims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: this is what has been agreed between the President Capasso and President Abu Mazen.
The “Totem of Peace" in Ramallah continues the path of monumental works dedicated to the innocent victims: in the 2010, at the MFA, it was dedicated to the Italian soldiers who died in the peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan, to the Alpine fallen in war at pescasseroli and in 2014, at Procida, it was dedicated to the migrants died in the Mediterranean, in search of freedom, democracy and dignity.

In occasion of the 25° anniversary the International Committee of the United States of the World gathered in Rome. In this occasion the main events which characterised twenty-five years have been remembered and big issues of the region as Islamic fundamentalism, the war in Syria, the problem of the migratory flows have been analysed.
For what concerns the last issue, unanimously has been decided to dedicate the “Totem of Peace” to the “Unknown Migrant”. The artwork will host a urn with the remains in order to honour the memory of who lost their lives in the sea, looking for dignity and freedom.
The proposal is to try to realize the artwork for 21 March 2015, day dedicated to the Mediterranean and Migrant, and to collocate it, in agreement with the institutions, in a symbolic city.
The IC charged the Secretary General Capasso for the realization of this last issue, checking the possibility to realize the work on the sea and, especially, in a harbour area.
The president states to have already anticipated such initiative to the President of Senate Grasso and to Cardinal Parolin.
