CASA UNIVERSALE DELLE CULTURE

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture is a place strongly representative, in which will convey the knowledge of the different identities and cultures, structuring permanently initiatives aimed at the spreading of peace, necessary for the shared development.

The Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture (MdP) is a project conceived by Michele Capasso, approved by many Countries and international organizations. It is an architecture that keeps the memory of many Peace activities which created history, often more than the wars, but it is – above all – a space "to build” Peace.

The architectonical complex has an important symbolic worth: it represents the Countries of the World engaged in the Peace process and the Countries victim of the conflicts.

Proposed by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the Maison des Alliances – together with the main adherent organizations, such as the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, the League of Arab States, the "Anna Lindh" Euro-Mediterranean Foundation and others, the MdP represents a referent point for all the ones who dedicate their lives to peace.

The symbol of the MdP is the "Totem for Peace", an artwork by the Italian sculptor Mario Molinari which the Fondazione Mediterraneo is promoting all around the world, creating the network of the "Cities for Peace".

The first seat of the MdP was inaugurated on the 14th of June 2010 (Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture) in the historical building of the Grand Hotel de Londres in Naples.

The action of the Maison de la Paix - Casa Universale delle Culture aims at improving the main activities of the "Universal Forum of Cultures" in: Barcelona (2004), Monterrey (2007), Valparaiso (2010) and Naples (2013).

The Maison de la Paix performs most of the initiatives jointly with the Maison de la Méditerranée.

 

Dear Friends, Dear Friends,
This year, I am writing to ask you to donate 5x1000 to the Fondazione Mediterraneo.
We are committed for 20 years to promote dialogue and peace and we are dedicating every resource and engaging our lives, as documented extensively on this portal and on www.euromedi.org
Among the projects underway report:
The Totem of peace, which is spreading throughout the world as a symbol of brotherhood between peoples

  • The Mediterranean Observatory on the rights of the child.
  • The Mediterranean Observatory on women’s needs
  • The Mediterranean Observatory on organized crime and the mafia
  • The project of “inter-ethnic city”.

Our Foundation has distinguished itself since its inception, the concreteness of the results and the unanimous wise use of resources, recognized by the official audit and from international organizations.
I ask you, therefore, a small gesture that will allow all of us to continue to “embrace” the Peace and transform – at this difficult moment in history – the love for power in the power of love, which is indispensable for building our future:
For the 5x1000 to the Fondazione Mediterraneo Onlus by affixing the signature and indicating the Foundation’s tax code
