MAMT||Museo Mediterraneo dell' Arte, della Musica e delle Tradizioni (EN)

The MAMT- Mediterranean Museum of Art, Music and Traditions is an institution created by the Fondazione Mediterraneo with the aim “to experience” in an interactive way, the positive emotions of Our Sea through Arts, Music and Traditions. The MAMT is one of the most important initiatives of Fondazione Mediterraneo: an active space created in order to let communicate Arts, Music and Traditions of the Mediterranean contemporary society. The awareness of a past full of ancient traditions is the base for the construction of a rational and connected humanity: the vastness of the Mediterranean area collects together the responsibility, the hard work and intelligence with the ability to share spaces and cultures. Today, more than ever, the sense of future is given by the awareness of the sorrow, of the conflicts and at the same time by the ability to share joys and bond.
Art and Music are since ever the tool of communication and sharing of the humanity that, in a particular “Mediterranean” path, allows us to overtake the violence of the human being that showed itself in his greater brutality in countries as Bosnia, Palestine, Syria and other places: as testify of this there are Bosnia, in order not to forget and Suffering and Hope in the world, exhibitions of the museum.

At the same time there are symbols inviting to meeting and hope appear in lands of desolation and Hush: The Ferrigno Nativity Scene, the exhibition a Sea, three Faiths, the Peace and the Last Neapolitan Supper are part of the Museum.
Near the Totem of Peace and other works by Mario Molinari, sculptor of the color, accompanies the lonely journey of freedom, the Dreamlike World of John Crown and the desire of participation and recognition of the role of women in the Mediterranean in the exhibition “Breaking the Veils, women artists of Islamic World”.
Fado, Flamenco, Tango and Sirtaki, the Song of Naples, the Great Lyric Operas, Arabic Music and the Classics of all the times catch the attention of the audience with the acoustic perfection of the “Music hall” of the Museum.
The section dedicated to Pino Daniele has a particular meaning.
The warm of the Mediterranean human nature and the awareness of the necessity to keep track, the the wealth and the fertility find in the “Section Architecture” – with the Associated presences of Alvaro Siza, Ciamarra Picas, Vittorio Di Pace, Nicola Pagliara, Marco Introini and others - and in the Voices of the Migrants and other strong point.
The artworks of Pietro and Rino Volpe mark Mediterranean signs in which the culture and the literature merge with the creativity making a unique collection.
A collection of HD video about the most important sites of the Campania Region will accompany the tourists of cruises and the visitors in the whole building: the ground floor facing on Municipio Square will host an info-point unique in its kind. The MAMT is also an articulated system of services in the heart of the city of Naples: the library, the emeroteque, the music hall, salt conventions, the restaurants, the Euromedcafé, the residences and the bookshop receive the visitor with sympathy and enthusiasm: that enthusiasm of the Mediterranean!

A special remembering day at the United States of the World headquarters, which, with the Museum of Peace, created in 2016 one of the 22 museum sections dedicated to the Neapolitan musician called "Pino Daniele Alive": an entire floor with a large number of memorabilia that actually belonged to the Neapolitan singer-songwriter.
"I'm very excited," said Secretary-General Michele Capasso, "because I still have in my memory Pino's last visit to the museum when he gave me and his son Alessandro the final instructions for completing a space where emotions, memories and hopes merge into a unique and unrepeatable whole precisely because it is a museum space created with Pino and can no longer be repeated.
Pino Daniele Day 2024 was co-organised with Warner Music Italy, which on this occasion celebrated the 40th anniversary of Sciò Live, the first live album of Pino Daniele's career, with recordings made during concerts between 1982 and 1984.
In the "Vesuvius Room" of the United States of the World - where pages of history have been written for the Earth and for Peace - Radio Capital speakers Luca De Gennaro and Paolo Damasio (aka Mixo) hosted the evening. After a greeting from Pino's historic press office, Riccardo Vitanza, and Alessandro Daniele, it was the turn of Renato Tanchis, head of the Warner Italia catalogue. Immediately afterwards, there was room for each of those present for memories and testimonies enhanced by the speeches of artists such as Lucariello, La Niña, Alex Uhlmann, Maso Maso, Carmine Aymone and many other producers and guests linked to the Neapolitan artist by personal memories and anecdotes. Protagonists of the talk, some live moments in an unplugged version performed by three young singer-songwriters: Neapolitan Alessandra Tumolillo, Greta Bragoni and Rosita Brucoli. On the ground floor of the Museum there will be a space for welcoming guests. On this occasion, Paolo Damasio - an admirer of Gustavo Rol, creator of the United States of the World - and Luca De Gennaro interviewed Secretary General Michele Capasso on the United States of the World.
The event was sponsored by the City of Naples.
