President of Region PACA – Provence, Alpes Marittimes et Cote d’Azur – Michel Vauzelle expressed his appreciation for the twenty years anniversary of Fondazione Mediterraneo.

At the Plenary Session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean (PAM), convening at the seat of the Regional Assembly of Sicily in the historical Palazzo dei Normanni in Palermo, the outgoing PAM President, Abdelwahed Radi, awarded the PAM Prize to the Fondazione Mediterraneo. President Radi was recently elected as the President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the international organization that unites parliaments from all over the world.

The inscription reads, “On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Fondazione Mediterraneo, for its commitment to promoting intercultural dialogue throughout the Mediterranean and for its support towards the establishment and activities of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean”.

President Radi made the following remarks: “This [prize] is made in recognition of Michele Capasso’s having dedicated his life to building prosperity and democracy in the Mediterranean basis. He is a true soldier working relentlessly to achieve the goal of bringing peoples, civilizations and cultures closer together. This prize is only a small token compared to the enormous contribution made by Michele and he deserves much greater recognition for the quality and quantity of his action. It is therefore our wish that such recognition will soon be forthcoming”.

Fondazione Mediterraneo supports “Agrigento Declaration” for peace and friendship between Mediterranean population, sponsored by senator Benedetto Adragna – Commissioner of Republic Senate. Among the initiatives there is the next realization in Valle dei Templi, the monumental art work “Totem for Peace” by Molinari.
“I thank the Fondazione Mediterraneo, president Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari whom gave the possibility to Agrigento to set it up as City for Peace”.
Joined to ceremony the Honourable Antonio Martino, president of Interparliamentar Union Delegation and parliamentar delegations of Mediterranean countries.
