At the end of the unveiling of the Totem for Peace, the Fondazione Mediterraneo nominated the first "Peacekeepers".
This title is conferred upon all those contributing to the building of the "Totems for Peace" over the world and the supporting of activities and the mission of the "Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle culture".
The whole town of Rutino celebrated the Totem for Peace that became, together with the Monumental Church, the distinction symbol of the town and the whole Cilento.
With an evocative ceremony, "flying" on a cable at a height of 30 metres between the bell tower of the Church of San Michele Arcangelo and the top of the Totem for Peace, the little Rutino inhabitant Emilio Vinci – as an “Angel of Peace” – opened the unveiling ceremony of the monumental work located in the same square where the Proclamation of the Garibaldi insurrection was announced.
The top of the Totem for Peace, 16 metres high with its Red Sail, stands out against the sky of Cilento in a magic of lights and colours.
