One idea and one Achille Marini dream, realized with the first edition in 1998, animated and determined to realize this binding demonstration with only one and big wish:
see every year, assembled under one only flag, many earth peoples cultures and their artistic expressions in the most varied forms. Free from nationalism and prejudices.
It is a big holiday, in which the competition becomes secondary at a moment of meeting and comparison among many different national cultural traditions and artistic inheritances.
(1520 artists in the 1998, 1534 in the 1999, 2559 in the 2000, 3.360 in the 2001, 3.849 in the 2002, 3661 in the 2003).
