INAUGURATION WITH OTELLO FOR THE SAN CARLO THEATRE IN THE PRESENCE OF PRESIDENT MATTARELLA
|
21 November 2021
Great emotion at the San Carlo Theatre, full in every order of seats.
Mameli's anthem, the audience on its feet. And five minutes of applause. This is how the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella is welcomed at the San Carlo for the premiere of Verdi's Otello, directed by Mario Martone. The Head of State was received at the entrance of the theatre by the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi, the president of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca, the prefect Claudio Palomba and the superintendent of the Neapolitan Massimo, Stephane Lissner.
There is a Western army in the Middle East, we see soldiers scrambling to make a career. A decidedly different scene from the original performance at La Scala on 5 February 1887. a predictable triumph, even then. "For music and drama intertwine and clasp each other in indissoluble knots", the opera's timeless summary. "Esultate", "Innaffia l'ugola" and the love duet in the first act, "Credo in un dio crudel" and "Sì pel ciel marmoreo io giuro", but also "Dio mi potevi scagliar", the "Canzone del salice" and "Niun mi tema" established its fame. With exceptional singers.
Jonas Kaufmann is the 'Moor' without the black face ('I couldn't and wouldn't want to anymore', says Martone). The star plays Otello with Yusif Eyvazov.
The guest of honour is President Sergio Mattarella. Mayor Manfredi shook his hand and accompanied him inside, already looking beyond: "For now we are content with one night, but Naples must always be the capital". Governor De Luca agreed. In the royal box, the President of the Chamber of Deputies Roberto Fico, Education Minister Patrizio Bianchi and Undersecretary Enzo Amendola.
The star in the audience is Toni Servillo, the actor greets the French ambassador to Italy, Christian Masset: he is expected in Paris on 7 December to present the film nominated for an Oscar by Paolo Sorrentino. Magistrates Federico Cafiero de Raho and Giovanni Melillo, and Rai's managing director Carlo Fuertes also arrive. On the balcony sit one hundred university and conservatory students, thanks to the supporters of Concerto d'imprese. And students from the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples engaged as interns on the new "On" platform for a training project on digital professions.
Roses were thrown at the end of the curtain and the Head of State was applauded as he left.

COP 26 - A CLIMATE CHANGE CONFERENCE UK 2021. THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO AND THE ANNA LINDH FEDERATION ITALY PRESENT AT THE EVENT
|
01 November 2021
The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Anna Lindh Italy Federation participated in several sessions at COP 26 in Glasgow, sharing concerns about the lack of shared incisive action essential to curb climate change and allow the survival of mankind on earth.
President Capasso shared the concerns expressed by Barak Obama and other speakers, and once again proposed the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD project. "Only if a unitary political and institutional space is identified - even if only by changing the name of the UN - will it be possible to face the great challenges ahead of us together.
The absence of China and Russia is serious and joint initiatives between the European Union and the other world partners must be taken in this respect. No serious action can be taken if those who are responsible for half of the pollution do not participate and adhere," said President Capasso.
G20: "PEOPLE, PLANET AND PROSPERITY", THE SUMMIT AT THE EUR. THE DREAM OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD
|
30 October 2021
"A great opportunity hampered by bureaucracy and by the specific interests of large countries such as China and Russia: we need to create the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD".
This is how the president of the Fondazione Mediterraneo Michele Capasso expressed himself in Rome at the conclusion of the G20 work.
A large oval table, framed by the flags of the leading countries with the addition of that of the European Union. All around, the backdrops with images of Italian landscapes and the slogan of the summit 'People, planet, prosperity'. Mario Draghi welcomed the world leaders in the room set up inside the Cloud where the work of the Summit of the Great Ones takes place.
"Dear colleagues, it is a great pleasure to welcome you here in Rome for this G20 and to see you here after the difficulties of recent years", began the premier opening the first session. Draghi was the first to take his place, after the 'photo opportunity', at the large work 'desk' which is furnished with a large lawn in the center and 'surrounded' by positions for the delegations and the staff of the leaders. The prime minister, in particular, was able to count on the presence (behind him) of the ministers most directly involved in the dossiers of the summit: Economy Minister Daniele Franco and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio. Around the big table, each head of state and government has his assigned seat. Among the many, Angela Merkel can count on Indian Prime Minister Modi as a 'desk mate'.
The Roman summit is mainly articulated around the discussions on the issues that the Italian presidency summarizes in the "three P": people, planet and prosperity. At the heart of the first area, the effects that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the economic and social equilibrium of the world. The goal is to reduce global inequalities made even more evident by the health crisis, looking for ways to protect the most vulnerable sections of the population - women, young people and precarious workers - by working on issues such as access to education and inequalities of opportunities and living conditions in the various countries of the world. The issue of coronavirus vaccines is central, with countries that have now reached high thresholds of already immunized populations and vast areas of the world where instead only a few groups have been vaccinated.
