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)

After reading the "Declaration of Agrigento" for peace and friendship among the peoples of the Mediterranean, Senator Benedetto Adragna - Commissioner of the Senate of the Republic - announced the next realization in the Valley of the Temples of the monumental work "Totem of Peace" "Of the Molinari sculptor.

"I thank the Fondazione Mediterraneo, the president Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari for having given the possibility to Agrigento to act as a City for Peace".

President Capasso expressed his emotion "because alongside the wonders of humanity, constituted by the Temples, the Totem for Peace will rise as a symbol of brotherhood and cooperation among the peoples of the Mediterranean".

Present at the ceremony were Mr Antonio Martino, president of the parliamentary delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union and the delegations of parliamentarians from the Mediterranean countries meeting in Palermo in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean, which from the beginning unanimously supported the project of the "Totem of the Peace".
