The "Caravan of Peace" stopped in Naples, in front of the "Totem of Peace" dedicated to Pope Francis, inaugurated on 7 June 2025 with the relics of migrants who died at sea, victims of war and children who died of hunger.
There were many reflections in memory of Pope Francis.
“We are pleased to be here in front of the "otem of Peace" because peace is an achievement, every day,“ said the national ACLI leaders, 'and what is happening, first and foremost in Palestine but not only there, is unacceptable”.
For Michele Capasso, Secretary General of the ‘United States of the World’ and President of the Peace Museum, the meeting with the peace caravan was an important moment, which could not fail to make a stop at this highly significant place. To be hosted here, where the symbol of peace has existed for forty years. We do not need to find the path to peace, peace is the path and the way,‘ adds Capasso. ’In forty years, we have often brought together the various parties to build a true and concrete dialogue. At this moment, the “United States of the World” consists of 181 countries and 16,000 civil society organisations, giving voice to testimony as an act of peace. We are creating symbols all over the world dedicated to the mothers of children who have died in war, died of hunger, and to the mothers of victims of the mafia and organised crime, for example, who protect the fundamental values of humanity with their testimony.
The memorial dedicated to Pope Francis in the port of Naples attracts visitors from all over the world. With the addition of the stunning colour panel on the rear and night-time lighting, the monumental work is now complete and reinforces its high representativeness.
During a meeting between Pia Molinari, head of the "Totem of Peace in the World" programme, and Giuseppe Panico, mayor of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, it was agreed to restore the monumental work, also in light of its new meaning as a "Symbol of the United States of the World".
During a meeting between the Mayor of Sarajevo Predrag Puharić with the Secretary-General of the United States of the World Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari - head of the "Totem for Peace in the World" programme - it was decided to create a monumental work by sculptor Mario Molinari (entirely similar to the one in “corten” material that houses the Shrine dedicated to Pope Francis and inaugurated on 7 June 2025) to be dedicated to the Mothers victims of wars in the world, starting with the Mothers of Srebrenica.
