Presentation of Riccardo Milani's film "Un mondo a parte"

On the occasion of the meeting of the Council of Ambassadors and the Board of Directors of the "United States of the World" held in Naples and Rome, Secretary-General Prof. Michele Capasso proposed the screening of the film "Un mondo a parte" by Riccardo Milani, starring Antonio Albanese and Virginia Raffaele and, especially, the inhabitants of Pescasseroli and other countries in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park.
Secretary General Capasso expressed - together with the members of the association - his appreciation for the film, reinforced by his familiarity for over 55 years with those places and, in particular, the town of Pescasseroli.
"Attention to small villages such as 'Mondo a parte' is important in this difficult moment in history because it is possible to combine integration of migrants with development of inland areas": these were the conclusions, together with the proposal to award the prestigious "Mediterranean Cinema Award" of the United States of the World to all the protagonists and authors of the film work, also in consideration of the fact that Pescasseroli, Opi and the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park are part of the "United States of the World" and one of the first works of the "Totem for Peace" was made precisely in Pescasseroli.
A special thought was addressed to Tiziano Gentile, "actor" in the film but valuable collaborator in the construction of the "Totem for Peace" in Pescasseroli in 2010.
