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!

CANONISATION OF CARLO ACUTIS AND PIER GIORGIO FRASSATI

A delegation from the “United States of the World” and the “Fondazione Mediterraneo”, led by Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari, attended the solemn ceremony for the canonisation of Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati.
Tens of thousands of people attended the ceremony, celebrated by Pope Leone XIV. Among them were the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella, the President of the Chamber of Deputies Lorenzo Fontana, the Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council Alfredo Mantovano, and Pier Ferdinando Casini.
Frassati, from Turin, died in 1925 at the age of 24. He was a faithful Dominican layman known for his work helping the sick and poor. Of the two new saints, however, the most famous is undoubtedly Carlo Acutis: born in London but Italian, he died in 2006 of leukaemia at the age of just 15. Even before becoming a saint, he had already become very popular and a cult of considerable size had formed around him, even outside Italy. He is much talked about because he is the first saint of the generation of people born between the 1980s and 1990s, and because he has long been referred to as a future “patron saint” of the Internet. The reason for this is that he was an avid user of digital tools during his lifetime. Another much-discussed aspect of Acutis's figure is his remains, dressed in ordinary clothes: jeans, a sweatshirt and trainers. His body is preserved in the Sanctuary of the Spoliation, located in the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Assisi, another place where his devotees have gathered today.
Acutis was declared a “Servant of God” in 2018 (the title given by the Catholic Church to the faithful for whom a cause for beatification and canonisation has been initiated). In 2020, he was declared “Blessed” and finally recognised as the intercessor for at least two miracles, thus allowing him to meet the conditions necessary for sainthood, which was then authorised by Pope Francis. The process that led to his sainthood was exceptionally rapid.
Carlo Acutis received the title of “Ambassador of the United States of the World” on 30 June 2023.
