The IN/Arch-National Institute of Architecture-with the patronage of the United States of the World and the Fondazione Mediterraneo-organized on Monday, April 29, 2024 at 3 p.m. at Palazzo Giustiniani, Presidency of the Senate of the Republic-Rome, this meeting to focus on the issue of the quality of design of living environments as a primary interest for the whole community and to demonstrate its concrete influence on sociality, well-being, economy, safety, protection of nature and historical places.
The proposal for a “European Design Code aimed at the quality of living environments” is designed to make concrete some principles of design, building on a human scale and the environment; values, these, widely shared but unfortunately unimplemented, although constantly affirmed in normative and ministerial policy statements. The initiative originated in the event “Seed - Design Action for the Future,” held a year ago in Perugia, one of nine “Architecture Festivals 2023” promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture. The proposal, which was also discussed in important international public contexts, was presented and brought to the attention of a large gathering of international designers and administrators by the magazine “Le Carré Bleu, feuille internationale d’architecture”.

"I am here to share!": with these words, at 8 a.m., Pope Francis lands in the women's prison of Giudecca. 
We are invited to attend the Pope's brief visit at various stages: a small delegation from the "United States of the World" participates in the events that characterise an important day. 
Pope Francis' visit lasts only five hours, enough, however, to write an important page of history for a city like Venice, already a destination for papal presences.
It begins well ahead of schedule, starting right from the Prison. For Pope Francis it is the first time in Venice, for the city it is the fourth Pope to visit it, the first ever to visit the Art Biennale. The route winds its way through calli and canals starting from the Holy See pavilion set up in the Giudecca prison. 

A day was held at the institutional headquarters of the United States of the World to celebrate "Liberation Day of the Italian Republic".
Participating guests were welcomed by Secretary-General Michele Capasso and other members, and accompanied on the various tours organised by the Museum of Peace, which retraced the most significant moments in the history of Italy concerning the liberation from Nazi-Fascism.
Live on the large video walls, there were connections with the Altar of the Fatherland in Rome and with Civitella Val di Chiana, the place where the President of the Italian Republic Sergio Mattarella visited.

The United States of the World celebrated "Earth Day" in various cities on five continents.
Secretary General Michele Capasso and other members of the International Committee emphasised the concrete significance of the day's celebration and how the word 'Earth' is in the motto of the "United States of the World", which is "EARTH AND PEACE".
The most significant posters produced around the world for this occasion were displayed at the institutional headquarters in Naples.
