THE FONDAZIONE MEDITERRANEO EXPRESSES ITS SORROW AT THE DEATH OF SHIMON PERES, ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE INSTITUTION FOUNDED IN NAPLES IN 1991
|
28 September 2016
Deep condolences were expressed by President Michele Capasso on behalf of all the members of the Fondazione Mediterraneo per la morte di Shimon Peres, one of the founders - with Ambassador Shmuel Hadas - of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Accademia del Mediterraneo based in Naples.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary, Peres defined the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the Academy as an important cultural instrument for diplomacy.
In recent meetings with President Capasso Peres stressed the importance of promoting, by any means, the POSITIVE that is always present in history, even in dark times. This is in order to prevent young people from falling into desolation without ideals and without hope for the future.
Also following his address, the Foundation has dedicated to Shimon Peres the "Israel Hall" of the Museum of Peace with high definition videowalls that tell the "positive" of Israel and other Mediterranean countries.
The death of Shimon - said President Capasso - leaves a void in the hopes of those who believed in a possible peace, despite the difficulties. The task is now even more difficult because of the lack of benchmarks and comparisons. We remember Shimon in one of the many meetings with the members of our Foundation: from Shmuel Hadas to Claudio Azzolini, from Caterina Arcidiacono to Luciana Stegagno Picchio to Nullo Minissi ".
A delegation from the Fondazione Mediterraneo will be present at funerals on 30 September 2016.

CIAMPI: THE COURAGE OF NATIONAL CONCORD
|
16 September 2016
One of the great merits of Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, like Altiero Spinelli, was that of not surrendering and of combining vision with action, the impossible with the possible.
His courage was to always consider Italy united and to firmly believe in national harmony.
We will always remember him with great affection: with his physical and written presence, he has never missed in 25 years to any of the important events of our Foundation: for peace, for the Mediterranean, for Italy.
Thank you President!
