IN TEN THOUGHT TO REMEMBER DON PEPPE DIANA. AT THE MUSEUM OF PEACE - MAMT SPECIAL OPENING FOR THE 25TH ANIVERSARY FROM DEATH

The Museum of Peace - MAMT will hold a special opening on March 19, 2019 with guided tours of the section dedicated to Don Peppe Diana on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his death.
Between ten and twelve thousand people took part in Casal di Principe (Caserta) in the march organized by Agesci in memory of Don Peppe Diana, the priest killed by the Camorra on March 19, 1994. Don Peppe was a scout, and so on his death, every year, the scouts flock to Casal di Principe to renew the message of hope launched by the priest, who bravely challenged the Camorra when very few did so.
Of the 7000 participants were scouts from all over Italy; the other citizens of Casal di Principe. A march made up of songs and symbolic gestures, punctuated by three stages: the first in front of the house of mother Iolanda, the priest's mother, who, like every year, appeared on the balcony to greet the scouts; second stage outside the church of San Nicola di Bari, where Don Peppe was a parish priest and where he was killed 25 years ago. Last stop at the cemetery, where the priest is buried, and where the Archbishop of Naples, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, and the bishop of Aversa Angelo Spinillo celebrated Mass.
"It is a beautiful day today," says an enthusiastic Valerio Taglione, coordinator of the Don Diana Committee and a scout at rest - because the Agesci continues its pastoral mission in the name of Don Peppe. Seeing so many boys with a big scarf coming every year in Casal di Principe fills the heart with joy, and it is the sign of the enormous legacy left by Don Peppe ». "Don Diana was one of us - says Vincenzo Piccolo, president of the National Committee of Agesci - so being here every year is important". Present at the march were the national leaders of the Scout association and the Masci.

THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO COMMITTED TO DEFENSE OF THE PLANET

The Fondazione Mediterraneo present today in various squares of Italy and Europe alongside young people for DEFENSE OF THE PLANET.
In 1989, when the Mediterranean Foundation was born, it alerted people to climate change and to the irreparable consequences for the planet and the earth.
In the same way he warned about the problems of the Mediterranean, about migrants, about wars.
At that time no one seemed to deal with these issues and all of us were considered "visionaries".
Today was a day full of hope.
After the "match" launched by Greta Thunberg - standard bearer of an international battle to protect the environment with entire masses of young people ready to follow it - a "good fire" seems to invade the planet: that of many young people determined not to leave the Earth in hand to unconscious and irresponsible adults.
Climate change and the consequences it brings with it are among the most accessed and discussed issues by public opinion.
The Mediterranean Foundation with the Anna Lindh Italia Onlus Federation supported the students who took to the streets today in many cities: a world strike to open consciences to facts and to the planet that suffers human negligence.
S.O.S: the planet needs the help of all US: crazy climate, melting glaciers, temperatures above the seasonal norm, droughts are just some consequences due to climate change.
As a consequence, this affects economic life, causing damage to communities, production systems and people's health.
Global warming, to be controlled needs the good deeds of each of us and certainly not of selfishness because we must look to a future that is not so far away: in many places it is already TODAY !!
"It is unthinkable to hand over to our children and grandchildren a planet that has become almost incurable: the time to act on the climate is this" said President Michele Capasso, showing the conclusions of the 1997 Mediterranean Foundation Forum where, the same sentence, reported only the conditional: "a planet that could become incurable".
Today it really is!

Together, with the commitment and passion of all those who believe in this battle, the Mafia can defeat it, "he wrote in his preface Maresca.
