At the Museum of Peace - MAMT we remembered Sister Maria Pia Giudici on the fourth anniversary of her death. Pictures, poems, paintings, books, interviews and much more on the large video walls of the Museum recounted the long life of a religious who made the Gospel and love for Jesus the foundation of her existence.
President Michele Capasso was moved to tears as he recalled his long friendship with Sister Maria Pia and the example of a simple life in joy, well summed up in the film "MARIA PIA GIUDICI: THE JOY IN A SIMPLE LIFE".
In connection with the San Biagio House of Prayer (Subiaco) there was a touching moment of collective remembrance that ended with the intervention of Bishop Giovanni Giudici, Sister Maria Pia's nephew.
On this occasion the visits of Sister Maria Pia to the Don Bosco Museum and Chapel were recalled.

Users are relaying a specific scene from the film in which the Russian dissident recites what could be considered his spiritual testament. "If they decide to kill me," Navalny says in the video, "it means that we are incredibly strong and we must use this power. Sitting in semi-darkness at the counter of a completely empty bar, the activist asks his followers to continue what he started: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing. So do not be inactive".

As every year, the United States of the World, the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Museum of Peace held various events with school students and selected groups of visitors on the occasion of the 2024 'Day of Remembrance'. In the Israel Room - inaugurated by Shimon Peres - various videos were screened, some of them unpublished, on the Shoah and the deportation of the Jews to the various concentration camps.
There was emotion and participation particularly when watching the testimonies of Israelis and Palestinians who were victims of the ongoing conflict.
