Pino Daniele: Naples is the soul of music, from Mascalzone Latino to Giogiò

The Cardinal of Naples, Don Mimmo Battaglia remembers Pino Daniele on the occasion of the publication of Pietro Perone's book.
"Pino Daniele was a poet of the people, a voice that knew how to sing the beauty and pain of Naples, its chiaroscuros, inhabited by a thousand colours. With his notes and words he told us about the human soul, with its feelings and dreams, but also the soul of a people, our own. "Tell me when this war will end" he sings in one of his most touching songs, and today these words resonate like a cry because we are all waiting for the end of a war: the one that lives inside us, the one of violence that still abounds in our cities, the one that wounds relationships, and that sows death in many places in the world. May Pino's music, with its universal language, be for all of us an inexhaustible source of inspiration, of breaking down walls and building bridges of peace and hope in the heart of Naples, in the heart of the world".
The book will soon be presented at the United States of the World and the Museum of Peace.

The Totem for Peace symbolising Parliaments around the world

One of the first works of the "Totem for Peace" by sculptor Mario Molinari was placed in the Parliament of Rabat, Morocco, in 2010, between the main entrance and the office of King Mohammed VI: it was strongly desired by the then President Abdelwahed Radi and inaugurated in the presence of the Presidents of the Parliaments of the Euro-Mediterranean countries.
Today, a delegation of the "United States of the World", led by Secretary-General Michele Capasso and Pia Molinari, in the presence of the Italian Ambassador to Morocco Armando Barucco and the highest officials of the Assembly of Representatives, renewed the importance of the symbol, which will be further disseminated in parliaments around the world next year, when the delegations of the Euro-Mediterranean Parliaments and those of the Inter-Parliamentary Union will meet in Rabat.
"After that of the United Nations, the recognition of Parliaments around the world strengthens the action of our institution and its symbol: the Totem for Peace" - Capasso said at the end of the meeting.
‘We are honoured to have been among the first to host the Totem for Peace - said Parliamentary Secretary General Najib El Khadi - and our commitment is to strengthen the mission of the United States of the World by bringing the Totem for Peace, its symbol, to the Parliaments of various countries.
