26 July 2024
A delegation from the "United States of the World" and the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" attended the opening ceremony of the 33rd Olympic Games in Paris, which began in pouring rain.
For the first time since the Games have existed, the opening took place outside the stadium.
The show lasted four hours, Paris was celebrating on the Seine: the video-report of the opening ceremony included spectacular choreography, great artists - Lady Gaga, Céline Dion - athletes waving flags on the boats whizzing along the Seine, the great protagonist.
There was controversy over a moment in the ceremony where it seemed that the Catholic Church was being offended: Thomas Jolly, the creator of the opening ceremony, wanted to respond to the controversy stirred up by Catholic bishops: "The Last Supper was not my inspiration, I think it was quite clear that it was about Dionysus arriving at the table: he is the god of the feast, of wine and father of Sequana, the goddess linked to the river".
Anne Descamps, Paris 2024 Communications Director, clarified that "obviously, our intention was not to disrespect a religious group, whatever it may be". She added: "On the contrary, our intention was to show tolerance and communion. If anyone was offended, we apologise".
"Italy is the protagonist of these Games, thanks to the prestige of President Mattarella and the passion of our dear friend Giovanni Malagò, President of CONI", said the Secretary-General of the “United States of the World” Michele Capasso.
The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, in Paris on the occasion of the opening of the ‘2024 Olympic Games’, upon his arrival reaches the Olympic Village to meet the athletes of the Italy Team, welcomed by CONI President Giovanni Malagò and Secretary General and Head of Mission Carlo Mornati. He then had a very simple lunch in the canteen of the Olympic Village together with the athletes.

PRESENTATION OF THE BOOK “LUCCIOLE D’INVERNO”
|
20 June 2024
Their names are Nazifa Mersa Hussein, Yuliya Hramika and Halyna Khrystiushina, they all share the same dream of peace.
From Afghanistan to Ukraine to Belarus, their testimonies bring women a message of hope and an invitation to welcome.
With the same invitation, the presentation of the latest book "Lucciole d'Inverno" by Elena Rossi (Armando Curcio Editore) opened at the Museum of Peace, where the protagonists are women and their ability to generate a chain of solidarity.
"We welcome literature, poetry, art, the sense of beauty and the practical sense of the female universe to counter the noise and darkness of contemporary history," said musician Eugenio Bennato, opening the meeting moderated by Michele Capasso, President of the Fondazione Mediterraneo, which hosted the voices and stories of the refugees of the "Women for Peace" Association, coordinated by President Volha Marozava and the Publisher and Ceo of RID 96.8 FM (Radio Incontro Donna) Michelle Marie Castielllo. "Women today are the main actors in saving the earth and curing peace," stressed President Capasso. "It is a deep joy to be welcomed in this prestigious venue on the occasion of World Refugee Day, which invites us to a collective reflection on those who, because of wars, have extinguished and continue to extinguish lives and dreams," said Elena Rossi. "Women united by their strength can contribute to bringing peace to the world. It is precisely on this, on women's unity, that the daily work and commitment of our radio station, RID 96.8 FM, is based. And this is the message we want to share on this Day where our thoughts go out to the people suffering from wars around the world," added Michelle Marie Castiello.
"Refugee denotes a state of fragility where you are not at fault, you have no power to change anything in your country of origin, you are forced to flee and abandon it. By starting from scratch you learn to walk like a child in your new environment. We at DFP stand by these people to give them the opportunity of a new life," said Volha Marozava). Screened was the video 'Mother Earth', edited by Vittorio Pavoncello from the poem of the same name by Rossi dedicated to the open drama of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The text, already winner of the Capitolino d'Oro Prize for Poetry in 2023, tells of the young refugees of Donne for Peace who became the first actresses of the '"Theater4Inclusion" company.
