WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY: FIRST ON THE PLANET!

“The Planet First": this inscription stands on the balcony of the Municipality of Barcelona and from here Michele Capasso and Andreu Claret comment on Trump's absurd decision and the need for institutions and bodies of civil society to mobilize to avoid the slow suicide of our planet.
On 5 June 2017, as every year, the World Environment Day is celebrated: this event was conceived in the seventies, when it was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly.
This is a symbolic date, used as an important occasion to talk about environmental issues, which are too often overshadowed.
Every year there is a theme, which is designed to bring attention to a particular aspect. The 1974 was "Only One Earth"; this year's "Connecting People to Nature".
A "host" country of World Environment Day has also been chosen for some years: this year is Canada, in 2015 it was Italy.

NAPOLI STAR OF THE BOOK OF ANDREU CLARET "VENJANÇA" (REVENGE)

President Michele Capasso spent a day in the company of Andreu Claret: a great friend with whom he shared thirty years of passion for the Mediterranean, Dialogue and Peace.
On this occasion Claret has dedicated to Capasso his last book "Venjança" (Vendetta) also set in Naples.
It is a historical "yellow" that tells the story of an American who comes across a hypothetical document of Ipazia, (in ancient Greek: Ὑπατία, Hypatía, in Latin: Hypatia; Alexandria of Egypt, 355/370 - Alexandria of Egypt, March 415): it was a mathematics, astronomer and ancient Greek philosopher and representative of the neo-platonic philosophy.
Naples is present with a stage of the thriller that takes place between the National Library and the Hotel Mediterraneo and with many surprises....
A heartfelt thank you to Michele Capasso in the dedication dedicated to the book "for having contributed to the knowledge of the Mediterranean and Naples".

BARCELONA, AN EXAMPLE OF CIVISM AND SENSE OF THE COMMON GOOD

After participating in the ceremonies for the Festa della Repubblica Italiana in Barcelona, President Capasso spent many hours traveling through the city with all public transport available: bus, tram, metro, taxi, cable car, bicycle, boat, motorbike.
From the most popular suburbs to the centre, it strikes the civic sense and care for the city: clean streets, modern and intact public transport, well-kept gardens and even lawns on which the fast tram glides for miles (with "simple" access for the handicapped) well maintained and verdant.

A sense of order and care that confirms the role of great European and Mediterranean capital of Barcelona.

President Capasso congratulated Felip Roca, Director of External Relations of the Barcelona City Council.
