Bruno Vespa visited the headquarters of the United States of the World and the Museum of Peace, welcomed by Secretary-General Michele Capasso, Professor Giuseppe D'Antonio and other members of the institution.
Along the way, he visited the main museum sections: from the Mosque to the sacred rooms with cribs, from Mario Molinari to Don Peppe Diana, from Raffaele, the mayor to the Women artists of the Islamic world.
At the end of the visit, he expressed himself as follows:
"I am in awe of the construction of such an important institution, so precious and challenging. Entering this place truly breathes peace because of the intertwining of different peoples, religions and sensitivities: to have brought all this together impresses me and I am honoured by this recognition. I am also pleased that here, among the first supporters, is St John Paul II, my Pope whom I met in Krakow as archbishop; as I also note that Pope Leo XIV, without knowing it, in using the words “disarmed and disarming peace”, reiterated what St Leo the Great said when he disarmed Attila: the same words are present in your “Constitution” approved in November 2022".
The Caponnetto Foundation's magazine "LE SENTINELLE DI NONNO NINO", dedicated mainly to students, published in its May issue the report by Secretary-General Michele Capasso on the "United States of Europe".

The United States of the World awarded the prestigious “Mediterranean Award for Peace of the Thirtieth Anniversary” to the "City-martyr" of Gernika, on the occasion of the 88th anniversary of the bombing.
