The San Sebastiano al Vesuvio Town Council met in extraordinary session to commemorate Raffaele Capasso on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth and the 70th anniversary of his first election as Mayor of San Sebastiano: he was the architect of the reconstruction of the town destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in March 1944.
The hall, staircase and open space was crowded with fellow citizens who wanted to remember "O sìnnaco nuosto", as they liked to call him.
On this occasion, the docufilm "Raffaele, il Sindaco" was screened, and the book "Raffaele, il Sindaco" was presented with a postcard and Italian Post Office cancellation.

The presentation of the book by Michele Capasso entitled "Raffaele, the Mayor" (Edition San Paolo) was held at the headquarters of the United States of the World and the Museum of Peace - MAMT.
The book is dedicated to the figure of Raffaele Capasso, mayor of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio for 35 years and architect of the reconstruction of the town destroyed by the eruption of Vesuvius in March 1944.
Large audience participation: speakers included the prefect of Naples di Bari, the mayor of Naples Manfredi, Senator Lumia, Professor Pica Ciamarra and many others. Pietro Perone, editor-in-chief of "Il Mattino", coordinated the event.
During the event, the docufilm "Raffaele, the Mayor" was screened.

Received by the Secretary-General, Professor Michele Capasso, the Honourable Giuseppe Lumia, Professor Massimo Pica Ciamarra, Professor Giuseppe D'Antonio and other members of the association, the Prefect visited the main itineraries, lingering over those dedicated to Don Bosco, Don Diana, Raffaele Capasso and others.
At the end of the visit, he expressed his admiration for the efforts made since 1987 for the Earth and for Peace and for the high level of representativeness of the museum site.

A delegation from the "United States of the World" took part in the centenary events of the Treccani Encyclopaedia in the presence of Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
To celebrate the centenary of the Institute of the Italian Encyclopaedia founded by Giovanni Treccani in 1925, a list of 100 words was drawn up to mark this century of activity and to respond to the desire to point out an overall coherent path of a century of salient concepts-words/events. The identification of a single word and event for each of these last 100 years was entrusted to an arbitrary selection, guided by a committee of historians and linguists, whose work led to the association of each year with a characterising or significant historical fact that could be referable to a particular semantic field, either by direct reference or by deduction.
