Inaugurated on 20 December 2013, the Museum of Peace - MAMT (Mediterranean, Art, Music, Traditions) opened its doors to the public on 1 January 2014.
In these ten years - thanks to a 'cordate' of artists, critics, experts, donors, and representatives of institutions - it has been possible to realise a dream that has fascinated more than 100,000 visitors from all over the world, and, in particular, school students who have been able to enjoy a unique place between 'Chaos' and 'Wonder'.
The Museum of Peace - MAMT is housed in Naples in the historic building of the former 'Grand Hotel de Londres', opposite the central Piazza Municipio, a stone's throw from the cruise port and the new underground station designed by Alvaro Siza.
The Museum was created by the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the 'United States of the World' and is a place where collective memories, art collections, multimedia systems, music and events capture the visitor's imagination, guiding them through a unique emotional experience.
The main rooms of the Museum are named after the most important cities and countries of the Mediterranean and the world and have been inaugurated by their respective heads of state and government: examples include Presidents Gligorov (Republic of Macedonia), Cavaco Silva (Portugal); Erdogan (Turkey), Peres (Israel), Abu Mazen (Palestine), de Marco (Malta); Obama (USA), Juan Carlos (Spain), Rania of Jordan and others.
With 107 large video wall screens, the Museum is equipped with an unprecedented multimedia system: thanks to the new 4K technology, it is possible to enjoy videos, images and multimedia applications that capture the attention of visitors through a unique journey through history, geography, cultures, traditions, politics, religions, destiny...
The Museum of Peace preserves documents, objects and videos from many countries of the world, including gifts from heads of state and government who have visited the Foundation and the "United States of the World".

The professor Michele Capasso - Secretary-General of the "United States of the World" and president of the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" - addressed, as usual, a message for the new year 2023.
The hope is that in this year we can reach a truce and then peace in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine and in other parts of the world through the enhancement of diversity.
“Only by tackling, solving and harmonizing diversity, conditions of misery, ignorance and injustice in the world - says prof. Capasso - it is possible to extinguish hotbeds of discord, riot, hatred; it must be understood that diversities, if harmonized, constitute a strength and a source of enrichment for all humanity, complementing each other instead of opposing each other. It is not a question of pursuing a system of universal harmony, as Fourier or Leibnitz wished, because we started from a pre-established universal harmony: the great inequalities existing between our brothers and sisters scattered throughout the world require our commitment to harmonize them. On this theme it is worth proposing an example: if in an orchestra everyone played on their own, a 'cacophony' would arise; if all the instruments were identical, it would be 'monotony'; the inequality of instruments and the harmonization of sounds is much better to arrive at a great ‘universal symphony’”.

The Secretary-General Michele Capasso, the Council of Ambassadors, the Board of Directors with Pia Molinari and Jacopo Molinari, the International Committee, the delegates of the autonomous sections "Fondazione Mediterraneo", "United States of Europe", "Accademia del Mediterraneo", "Kimiyya" and "Almamed" and the heads of the branch offices express their deep condolences for the death of Jacques Delors, former President of the European Commission.
In his remarks, Secretary-General Michele Capasso recalled the friend and convinced Europesist, sharing the comments of Mario Draghi and other representatives of the European institutions in describing Delors as "the father of modern Europe: from the Maastricht Treaty to the Schengen Agreements, he presided over epoch-making changes that still define the European Union, its potential and its aspirations".

The concert "Song for the Days of Christmas" dedicated to the Land and Peace, especially for the peoples of Ukraine, Palestine and Israel, was held at the United States of the World and the Peace Museum.
In his address, Secretary-General Michele Capasso emphasised the difficult time in human history and the importance of moments of togetherness based on solidarity and the sharing of important values for the respect of human dignity.
"I dedicate this evening to Samira, the poor Iranian woman hanged for no reason in a horror that goes against every human right," Capasso concluded.
The concert curated by "Promenade a Sud" is included in the "Other Christmases" programme of the City of Naples 2023 and is intended as a journey through the rhythms and melodies of ancient and timeless, magical atmospheres of the Christmas season.
The "Promenade a Sud" project aims to enhance and preserve the musical and cultural heritage of southern Italy.
The venue of the United States of the World and the Museum of Peace was chosen for a specific reason: 181 countries from all over the world were represented and an approved "Constitution" founded on saving the Earth and building Peace. Through the song "Stella D' Argento" by C. Faiello, performed by Marianita Carfora, a tribute was paid to the peoples of the Holy Land always in perpetual conflict.
