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)

Welcomed by the Secretary General of the "United States of the World" Prof. Michele Capasso, students and teachers from the Vittorio Veneto Institute of Naples, the Rue de La République Institute of Gabès (Tunisia) and Ciudad Real (Spain) visited the Museum of Peace MAMT with the "Totem for Peace" and the main emotional paths: in particular those dedicated to Mario Molinari, to migrants, to inter-religious dialogue - with the Mosque, the Synagogue and the holy places of Christianity.
After retracing the history of the museum, the students and teachers lingered on the panoramic terrace and then in the music room, the Churchill room and the room dedicated to cribs and the history of bread and pizza.
Particularly exciting was the lengthy viewing of the "Campania of emotions" videos: from Vesuvius to the Amalfi Coast, from Naples to the Royal Palace of Caserta. Guests from Spain and Tunisia were impressed by the beauty of the videos and the World Heritage sites.
A 3-language catalogue of the Museum was given to all of them. Many of the young people suggested an edition in 3 other languages (Spanish, German and Portuguese).
