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!

The Church of Naples hosted the 75th National Liturgical Week during the Jubilee Year 2025. It was inaugurated by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State of His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.
At the closing ceremony, Cardinal Don Mimmo Battaglia shared with those present the greeting of Father Gabriel Romanelli, parish priest of the Latin community in Gaza, which he heard before participating in the Week's proceedings.
The priest wanted to convey his spiritual closeness to the participants, emphasising the strength that the Christian community in Gaza receives from prayer:
"What I will now suffer with my children and my friends is the reality that I continue to live with my people. We truly feel the work of God, the grace of God, which continues to beat at the door of our hearts and helps us to make sense of everything we are experiencing".
Romanelli added: "Prayer is giving us courage, prayer is giving us strength, prayer is also giving us serenity. And we are feeling it coming, like a support that accompanies us in our difficulties".
Cardinal Battaglia made this appeal, recalling that "precisely in the darkness of suffering, prayer becomes light and the liturgy becomes a force that consoles and sustains".
In his concluding reflection, Battaglia gave the participants a symbolic number: 10.
"It is the number of verbs in the Magnificat, - he explained, - the song of the Mother of God that marks the true revolution in history: He has looked upon the humility of his servant, he has done great things in her, he has shown the power of his arm, he has scattered the proud, he has brought down the powerful from their thrones, he has lifted up the lowly, he has filled the hungry with good things, he has sent the rich away empty-handed, he has come to the aid of his servant Israel, he has remembered his mercy".
But the Cardinal recalled that the parable of the Good Samaritan also contains ten verbs that orient us towards action: "He saw him, he had compassion on him, he drew near, he poured oil and wine on his wounds, he lifted him onto his donkey, he took him to the inn, he cared for him, he paid for him, he promised to return, and he kept his promise.
These are the verbs of concrete love, which focus on the pain of others. Compassion is not an instinct, it is an achievement".
According to Battaglia, these two Gospel references show the way: "The number 10 brings together contemplation and action. The Magnificat invites us to contemplate the wonders of God, the Samaritan urges us to act with concrete love. This is how the Gospel continues to write new pages of history today. Go and do likewise".
In closing, Battaglia thanked Cal for choosing "Naples, for having lived this experience within the Church of Naples, inhabiting its territory. Naples thanks you from the bottom of its heart".
Some participants visited the Peace Museum and the section dedicated to Pope Francis.

There was great emotion at the message sent on 10 July 2025 by a dear Lebanese friend to the Peace Museum, sending images of Saint Charbel: "A powerful saint,  he said, who has performed many miracles and healings and who will also leave his mark in Naples".
Two weeks later, on 24 July, during a moment of prayer in the Church of St. Ferdinand in Piazza Trieste e Trento, St. Charbel manifested himself by filling the ampoule with blessed oil: shortly before, it had been empty.
In this way, he manifested himself to the city of Naples.
