Totem for Peace
The "Totem for Peace" is a trademark duly filed in accordance with the regulations. Therefore, any initiatives undertaken by third parties using that trademark or the word "Totem for Peace" in any context and for whatever purpose, it integrates to all intents and purposes the case of trademark infringement.
The "Totem of Peace", the work of the Turin sculptor Mario Molinari, is the symbol of the "United States of the World" and represents the Peace: it was chosen in 1997 by 3,000 representatives of 181 countries and since then the "United States of the World" with the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" are spreading this universal symbol by setting up the network of "Cities for Peace".
The sculptor Mario Molinari was an artist of clear fame, sensitive to the themes of peace and dialogue between cultures, as evidenced by his numerous works and his life.
The cultural project of the "Totem of Peace" is carried out in the world by Michele Capasso: dedicated, since 1987, to the construction of dialogue as a tool for the mediation of conflicts, he combines his international experience of social and intercultural planning and planning with the professional one of architect and engineer.
Many countries have created the monumental work symbolising peace and coexistence between different peoples. Among the main ones are:

The sail that symbolizes the journey, the sea. This “Mare Nostrum” of Ours which was the cradle of civilization, the scene of clashes and battles between the people who inhabited it but also and above all of the exchange of goods and knowledge. A sea celebrated in myth where Ulysses got lost, continuing to wander in his desperate search for his way back. The sail that turns red, at dawn and dusk, at departure and return in the immutable rhythm of the Universe .
(M. MOLINARI)

The symbol represents the red sail of the Totem for Peace that configures the stern of a ship made up of the multilingual translation of "The United States of the World".
The ceremony was held at the headquarters of the Fondazione Mediterraneo - Maison de la Paix in the presence of ministers and ambassadors representing the various member countries. The latest member was the State of Kyrgyzstan.
President Michele Capasso, visibly moved by the realization of a dream born 30 years ago, made the choice official in the presence - among others - of the Ambassador of Tunisia in Italy Moez Sinaoui, the Ambassador of Kyrgyzstan in Italy Taalay Bazarbaev, the Tunisian Minister and former Director General of ALECSO Mohamed-El Aziz Ben Achour, the heads of the Forum de l'Académie Politique and the Konrad Adenauer Siftung, the Deputy Mayor of Naples Mia Filippone and representatives of the various countries.
