Sixty years ago, on 24 January 1965, Winston Churchill died. He was twice British prime minister, between 1940 and 1945 and between 1951 and 1955.
The "United States of the World" - with the Museum of Peace, where the "Churchill Room", in which the statesman stayed for a long time, is located - remembered him with a series of events and a meeting with students during which films of the British statesman's main speeches were shown.
He is still remembered today as one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century, who was able to make an entire people resist the bombing and destruction brought to British soil by the planes of Nazi Germany.
"I can promise you nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat", were his words at his inauguration in 1940.

After 15 months of siege and bombardment by Israeli forces, following attacks by Palestinian armed groups in Israel on 7 October 2023, the Government of Israel and Hamas finally reached an agreement: a ceasefire of hostilities in Gaza.
The "United States of the World" is relieved at this agreement reached, albeit a fragile one, but nevertheless a turning point towards the peace, protection and justice that innocent men, women and children deserve after these endless months of violence.
The pause in hostilities in Gaza will protect everyone, especially children, from the bombs for as long as the truce lasts, but this, says Secretary-General Michele Capasso, must be transformed into a definitive ceasefire and a rapid increase in humanitarian aid, especially to children, to tackle malnutrition and disease.

PRESENTATION OF PIETRO PERONE'S BOOK: “PINO DANIELE. NAPOLI E L’ANIMA DELLA MUSICA, DAL MASCALZONE LATINO A GIÒGIÒ”.
10 January 2025
The presentation of the book by Pietro Perone, journalist and editor-in-chief of the Mattino, entitled: "Pino Daniele. Napoli e l'anima della musica, dal mascalzone latino a Giògiò" (San Paolo Editions).
It is a book that speaks not only of Pino Daniele ten years after his untimely death, but of the city that the singer-songwriter narrated in its chiaroscuro. The Naples of yesterday, the one that reunited on the evening of 19 September 1981 with Pino and his band in Piazza Plebiscito, for the dream of a change that is still being chased today, and the Naples of today, the one that walks on two tracks: one is the beautiful carpet of tourism and the other the dirty pavement of truth that includes young people who kill their peers.
"It is not a festive book, explained the author - the idea of writing this book was born on 31 August 2023, when the news arrived at the editorial office that Giovanbattista Cutolo, 24, a musician and a student at the San Pietro a Maiella conservatory, had been killed. The same conservatory that Pino would have liked to attend, which he later failed to enrol in because the aunts who raised him convinced him that it was better to seek a permanent place by enrolling in accountancy. I asked myself: can Naples, where a boy who lived only on music was killed, still be the city of Pino Daniele? And I searched for the answers by picking up the verses of Pino's songs and there in those songs I found all the answers: there are continuous social messages, secular prayers for Naples to rise again. Pino's verses are more relevant today than ever, but while I was doing this work three other boys were killed: Emanuele, Santo, Arcangelo. The initial question became a desperate cry that is present in the book, but there is also the hope given by Pino and his verses".
