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 MIP, pizza international museum, is one of the most interesting sections of MAMT which, along with showing panels with the history of the two food and  “objects‑relics” which are showing their story and evolution through the millenniums, hosts a dedicated  taste itinerary in which is possible to go through the cultural history and enjoy the typical Neapolitan pizza.

Vittorio di Pace, 106, architect promoter of the "Interethnic City", becomes a member of the Board of Directors of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and donates objects and furnishings for the Churchill Room under construction at the headquarters of the Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Museum of Peace - MAMT.
"I am proud to be part of this prestigious institution led by Michele Capasso" declared Di Pace "and even more to make a gift of objects and furnishings from the same room of the former Grand Hotel de Londres, where Winston Churchill stayed during the months of August and October of 1944".
And he continues: "At the time I was an established Neapolitan architect who, in the years to come, would also have designed the refurbishment of Piazza Municipio. I was contacted by the management of the “Grand Hotel de Londres” to better arrange the suite for Winston Churchill; it was located on the fourth floor and had balconies overlooking Piazza Municipio: exactly the sixth and seventh from the right when looking at the main facade. Given Churchill's size, we had to change the bed and, due to the heat, place one of the first rotating fans in the room.
When the Grand Hotel de Londres was decommissioned, I purchased the furnishings of that room which were very significant to me: I am happy and honored to donate them today to the Mediterranean Foundation for the Peace Museum - MAMT, which is currently being completed. Even more happy to contribute, in the past 105 years, to the faithful reconstruction of those environments in which pages of history have been written"
