MOSAIC of PEACE – the PENTAGON of PEACE from the Centre of the Mediterranean Starts the Initiative Mosaic o f February 2019 Pe a ce www.costamed.net MOSAIC OF PEACE – THE PENTAGON OF PEACE From the Centre of the Mediterranean starts the initiative "Boarding of the Thousand" a bridge to the Americas. 1,000 entrepreneurs will build a "metaphorical bridge" that, from Palermo will arrive to New York City, at the Palace of the United Nations to propose the updating of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that next December 10, 2018 will be 70 years old. This initiative will be linked to the symbol as the city of Abraham, father of monotheistic religions. A bridge that must unite and seek Peace and Security for all, to start Promoters: with a new vision.... 2 Why Mosaic of Peace On 25 April 2017, Nino Calogero speaks to the Rotary Club of New York about the problem of immigrants in the Mediterranean Sea On 29 April 2017 Nino Calogero, Francesco and Marco Strafalaci (co-founders of LIBRA PEOPLE COMPANY plc) presented to UNHCR (Head of Delegation Mr. Firas Kayal) the idea of the Platform for Peace and Security to try to make the Mediterranean a sea of life and not death. Meeting created by the Rotary Club of New York. On May 27 and 28, 2017 on the occasion of the International People Summit in Palermo (in conjunction with the G7 of Taormina) on the Organization of the School of Ethics ROBIN MIND with the contribution of Lebanese NGOs, the participation of the European League of Muslims, the International Foundation Magna Graecia and representatives of the RCNY and Sicily Malta district, the idea was born to propose a new and updated rewriting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that in December 2018 will be 70 years old. From Palermo, city of culture of 2018 and (creator of the right to mobility as a right of the person) comes the idea of starting a "bridge with the Americas" and remembering September 11 in a different way: no longer just a moment of pain but a relaunch, no longer a Ground Zero but a G.O. or GO, let's go, toward a zero point generation, towards a G O, not G7 G8 G 20 ... This message will be delivered to the President of the IDA International (Initiative for the Development of Africa) which will be able to present it to the UN and participate in the work of ECOSOC. 3 Why Mosaic of Peace Mayor Orlando takes over the initiative proposed by Nino Calogero with an official communication, and on September 11, he sends a letter to the Mayor of New York and to the Head of the Fire Department, Daniel Nigro who personally, after meeting in NY with Nino Calogero, transfers the message to the Mayor of New York. From Sicily, from Palermo, metropolitan and Byzantine city, was born and will leave, within the Mosaic of Peace, the embarkation of the thousand. A thousand entrepreneurs who will be combined with a thousand cities to travel and support the "Ideal Bridge, born from the center of the Mediterranean". These thousands of entrepreneurs will have to share the commitment to build a new ethical capitalism and present with as many Thousand World Cities a proposal to the United Nations for the rewriting of the new Universal Declaration of Human Rights and make it become the new "DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF HUMANITY". Why the Mosaic in Palermo: The Mayor of Palermo is on the executive committee of the World Parliament of Mayors and has been awarded the "Benjamin Barber Global Cities Award" while COSTA MED EEIG with the presence of Malta, and Sicily are at the center of the Mediterranean. The project is not political but social, it is hoped to be married by the Byzantine cities: in addition to Palermo, also from Beirut and Istanbul, until the involvement of Russia, necessary for the management of peace and security in our Mediterranean. 4 Mayor of Palermo Mayor Orlando at the World Parliament of Mayors The Mayor of Palermo, Leoluca Orlando, participates in Stavanger in Norway, in the work of the Global Parliament of Mayors, an association that brings together mayors and public administrators committed to strengthening political and administrative cooperation between large cities. The theme of the conference of the year is: "A governance revolution empowerung cities". During the conference, Orlando was awarded the "Benjamin Barber Global Cities Award". Benjamin Barber was a political scientist from New York, where he taught until his death last April 2017. He has published, among other things, two great best sellers, Jihad Vs. McWorld (1995) and If Mayors Ruled the World (2013), on which the Global Parliament of Mayors, the World Parliament of Mayors, is based. http://www.palermoworld.it/it/il-sindaco-orlando-al-parlamento-mondiale-dei-sindaci 5 Why Mosaic of Peace As part of the follow-up to the Mosaic of Peace presentation events, we will be supporting Italy's role as President of the Human Rights Council at the United Nations, for the two-year period 2019-2021. 6 House of Abramo Inside the Mosaic of Peace will be born the virtual house of religions, that is, the place where there must be a Union in the symbol of Abraham, father of the monotheistic religions; the support and patronage of the Christian, Jewish and Islamic community is necessary. Austria can play an important role with Vienna, the United Nations community base, and Germany, a great example of historical unification. Let us create a Union of Religions within the Mosaic of Peace to have a new house for Abraham, a new one to put together the religious confessions for a new civilization in respect of the single Religions. 7 THEPerché PENTAGON Pentagono For Leonardo da Vinci, the image of a man is superimposed on a Pentagram enclosed by a circle: the human being as a microcosm in the Macrocosm; For Pythagoras, the pentagon was the true harmony of mathematics, a magic number. The Pentagon is also used in the development of the image of our DNA ... Five are the continents with the presence of man and five are the circles of the Olympics symbol of Union in the high values of sport and without racial or religious discrimination. 8 Works Agenda The time management of the various initiatives began on 10 December 2018. in Palermo, where a proposal will be published within the COSTAMED structure for the rewriting of a new Universal Declaration of Human Rights (coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the recognition of the United Nations). It will be proposed as the first event with the three Byzantine cities, a meeting in Palermo on May 28, 2019. The final document will be presented during the International Exhibition of Tripoli - Lebanon November 2019, in the platform dedicated to NGOs that are part of the post- conflict reconstruction process of Syria, organized by the IFP. (https://www.costamed.net/tripoli-international-conference-and-exhibition-tice-2019). The President of I.D.A. - Initiative for the Development of Africa - will be present. already recognized Permanent Observer at the ECOSOC Commission of the same United Nations, as NGO Body in charge of bringing the relevant message, to the UN. The Permanent Confederation of Mediterranean Historical Villes (CPVHM), the Humanitarian Libyan Organisation, the League of Muslims and others who wish to share this Programme will also be involved in order to select together the other 900 cities to be added to the 100 or so metropolitan cities present in the World Parliament that we hope to involve in order to form the symbolic number of the new MILLE! 9 Why Participate Because, without wanting to replace Governments and Institutions, it is necessary to use the moments, the events, the relations, to better reflect on what happens today also in relation to the events of the migrations, no matter the motivation, but it is necessary to see the causes and to look for the remedies. The main objective will be to give work and dignity to one's own country and not to force entire populations into the illusion of the dream of a longed-for freedom, which often, all too often, ends up fuelling crime and leading to death. The Mosaic of Peace will also include some cultural and social structures that are well present in Malta and are in close contact with Italian SMEs and want to collaborate with our initiative. This is to increase the "why" of Malta in the pentagon also in the light of the latest events related to the repatriation of migrants. Then, in the area of the birth of the "bridge" and therefore in Sicily, the great and historic bond with China will be exalted; in fact, we owe it to the Jesuit friar Prospero Intorcetta of Piazza Armerina to be the "first European translation" of Confucius, where last September Pope Francis went, not by chance, to bear witness to the Union of Religions in a country where Christians, particularly Catholics, are still persecuted. 10 FUND RAISING & GLASS SYSTEM In order to realize and support the important initiatives illustrated so far, COSTAMED, in line with its GLOCAL approach, imagined to make each of the participants feel an integral part of an Ideal MOSAIC where on the one hand we are all equal, from the "HUMAN" point of view and on the other exalting the perculiarities of each of us to bring to the same initiative the enrichment of the case. With these motivations, an individual entrepreneur can participate in the appropriate Campaign of FUND RAISING with only 1,000 euros to have a "Celebrative tile" that will be combined with the 1,000 cities in the world that will be sensitized to this end.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

  • Jörg Nies Interviewed Bartolomeo Sorge. Interview Date: April 2019
    Italy Jörg Nies interviewed Bartolomeo Sorge. Interview date: April 2019 Nies: Dear Bartolomeo Sorge, thanks for being here, and for agreeing to give us this interview for The European Archive of Voices. The purpose of this series of interviews is to collect the stories of people who lived during the development of a European community. You were born in 1929 on the Isle of Elba; you joined the Society of Jesus (sometimes called the Jesuits) in 1946; you're a religious leader and priest. You studied at various universities and were the editor of the magazine La Civiltà Cattolica [periodical published by the Jesuits in Rome, Italy, published since 1850, oldest of Catholic Italian periodicals] for more than ten years. Later, you founded the Institute of Political Formation in Palermo. After that, you edited a magazine called Aggiornamenti Sociali [Magazine and think tank of the Italian Jesuits]. Today, you live in a Jesuit community in Gallarate (Italy), which is where we're doing this interview. My name is Jörg Nies, from Germany, also a Jesuit. You and I met for the first time almost three years ago when I was completing an Italian course in Milan. In the meantime, I did a licentiate at the Pontifical Gregorian University and began a doctorate in theology at the same university. Thanks again for being here. Nies: What do you remember about your childhood? What was the environment that you grew up in? Sorge: Look, I think that, rather than remembering my distant childhood, it’d be worth talking about what I saw when I was older.

  • Mare Nostrum: Italy and the Mediterranean of Ancient Rome in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
    fascism 8 (2019) 250-274 brill.com/fasc Mare Nostrum: Italy and the Mediterranean of Ancient Rome in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries Samuel Agbamu King’s College London [email protected] Abstract The Mediterranean has occupied a prominent role in the political imaginary of Italian Fascisms, past and present. In the 1920s to the early 1940s, Fascist Italy’s imperial proj- ect used the concept of mare nostrum – our sea – taken from the vocabulary of Roman antiquity, to anchor modern Italian imperialism within the authority of the classical past. In the postwar years, following decolonization in Africa, mare nostrum receded from popular discourse, previous claims to the Mediterranean suppressed. However, in the context of the so-called refugee crisis, Italy resurrected mare nostrum, in the nam- ing of its military-humanitarian operation, a move rejected by the contemporary Ital- ian far right. This article argues that configurations of the Mediterranean of ancient Rome have served to yoke Africa to Italy when articulated into a Fascist, imperial ideol- ogy, as well as to reify the boundaries between Europe and the non-European other, in the xenophobic discourse of the contemporary Italian far right. Keywords Fascism – Italy – Libya – imperialism – romanità – migration – Mediterranean – mare nostrum The Mediterranean is by far the deadliest region for migration in the world, and the central Mediterranean, the area between Libya and Italy, has seen the highest number of migrant casualties when compared with other parts of the © samuel agbamu, 2019 | doi:10.1163/22116257-00802001 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the prevailing cc-by-nc license at the time of publication.

  • A Socio-Economic Study of the Camorra Through Journalism
    A SOCIO-ECONOMIC STUDY OF THE CAMORRA THROUGH JOURNALISM, RELIGION AND FILM by ROBERT SHELTON BELLEW (under the direction of Thomas E. Peterson) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a socio-economic study of the Camorra as portrayed through Roberto Saviano‘s book Gomorra: Viaggio nell'impero economico e nel sogno di dominio della Camorra and Matteo Garrone‘s film, Gomorra. It is difficult to classify Saviano‘s book. Some scholars have labeled Gomorra a ―docufiction‖, suggesting that Saviano took poetic freedoms with his first-person triune accounts. He employs a prose and news reporting style to narrate the story of the Camorra exposing its territory and business connections. The crime organization is studied through Italian journalism, globalized economics, eschatology and neorealistic film. In addition to igniting a cultural debate, Saviano‘s book has fomented a scholarly consideration on the innovativeness of his narrative style. Wu Ming 1 and Alessandro Dal Lago epitomize the two opposing literary camps. Saviano was not yet a licensed reporter when he wrote the book. Unlike the tradition of news reporting in the United States, Italy does not have an established school for professional journalism instruction. In fact, the majority of Italy‘s leading journalists are writers or politicians by trade who have gravitated into the realm of news reporting. There is a heavy literary influence in Italian journalism that would be viewed as too biased for Anglo- American journalists. Yet, this style of writing has produced excellent material for a rich literary production that can be called engagé or political literature. A study of Gomorra will provide information about the impact of the book on current Italian journalism.
