INAUGURATION OF THE "BARTOLUCCI" MUSIC COLLECTION WITH A CONCERT AT THE MUSEUM OF PEACE
|
11 November 2023
The discovery of the entire manuscript musical corpus of Adelmo Bartolucci (Pergola 1852- Pergola 1938) was the result of four years of research and now, thanks to the exquisite and sensitive generosity of the Amirante family, descendants and heirs of the musician, the maestro's entire oeuvre is present in the Museo della Pace: his five works Zingara di Granata, Giordano Bruno, Lyna, Deidda and Faublas are finally available for a proper historical-critical reading and, hopefully, forthcoming transcription. Prof. Andrea Zepponi, director of the Museum's music archive, inaugurated the happy acquisition of the music collection accompanied by the generous donation by the Amirante family (first and foremost Mrs. Maria Luisa Bartolucci, a descendant and direct niece of Adelelmo) of the excellently constructed Playel piano given to Bartolucci by the great Pietro Mascagni, then director of the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, complete with an original commemorative plaque, and various other objects that contextualise the historical piece in a recreated 19th-century corner of the Museum. But there is more: Among these objects are heirlooms of absolute curiosity that belonged to another great name from Pergola (PU), that of the opera singer Virginia Colombati (1863-1956), whose father, Giulio Pompeo Colombati (1836-1916), a composer and singer himself, was Adelmo Bartolucci's first teacher and composed a collection of chamber music arias with piano accompaniment; his daughter Virginia's Neapolitan-made mandolin, her black glass beaded shawl and similar handbag restored together with various household goods of the period. This museum corner on the ground floor of the museum (which consists of five full of priceless riches and documents) could not be more interesting. All must be visited. The library part of the archive includes music editions, monographs and encyclopaedias on musical subjects, and an endless record collection.

APPEAL FOR PEACE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
|
08 October 2023
Blind faith in force has destroyed all compassion, rejected all dialogue, and is proudly advancing in Gaza amidst the ruins and deaths of hundreds of civilians as well as in so many villages in Israel amidst the fear and casualties of more than 3,000 rockets from Gaza.
Europe and the governments of the West, just as they were mute when the holocaust of the Jews was being prepared and perpetrated, now tergiversate with empty words, waiting until, the fighting over, the victor grants them the semblance of having brokered peace.
It is up to civil society to rise up and say enough!
To say loud and clear that human values, which are the hard-won achievement of its history and the glory of its culture, must always be respected, now and immediately, in Gaza, in Tel Aviv, in Jerusalem and everywhere in the world.
"With broken hearts," say the United States of the World, "we witness yet another resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The many efforts we have made, the many appeals spread all over the world, the meetings in our headquarters in Naples with Shimon Peres, Arafat, Abu Mazen, Mubarak and other exponents of the Arab countries had led to concrete progress in the peace process. The United States of the World has always proposed itself as an institutional place for dialogue, concretely analysing prospects for resolving the conflict in order to build shared peace responses".
MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD AT THE OPENING OF THE 16TH ORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE SYNOD OF BISHOPS
|
05 October 2023
The 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops opened in the Vatican, whose work will end at the end of October 2023.
Pope Francis also opened to listen to lay people and exponents of civil society: among them some members of the "United States of the World" and the "Fondazione Mediterraneo".
"The Synod is neither a parliament nor a customs". The Pope repeated this several times during the Mass that opened the Synod of Bishops on St. Francis Day, 4 October, with the participation with voting rights of other members of the People of God. And in the afternoon he reiterated this in his address to the synod fathers gathered in the Paul VI Hall.
Pope Francis insisted that one should not look at this assembly as a place of confrontation on this or that issue ("open certain doors," he added in passing), but as a walk together to listen to God. "We are at the opening of the Synodal Assembly," he recalled, "and we do not need an immanent gaze, made up of human strategies, political calculations or ideological battles. "We are not here to conduct a parliamentary meeting or a reform plan. No. We are here to walk together with the gaze of Jesus, who blesses the Father and welcomes all those who are weary and oppressed. Let us therefore start from the gaze of Jesus, which is a blessing and welcoming gaze".
