Culture guide

The Mediterranean Basin is the cradle of cultures, sciences and knowledge. The most ancient and important forms of artistic and scientific expression originated in this part of the world, and to date they can still be seen in cities, monuments, libraries, literary works and works of art. Dances, music, colors and tastes of the Mediterranean area constitute a living memory of our present that shows the heritage of the past centuries and transmits it to the future generations. The exchange between the European and the African civilizations, between the East and the West, through philosophy, religions and history, makes the common Mediterranean identity the most powerful and lasting means for the diffusion of a collective awareness of mutual peace, co-existence and respect.
