“Dido”, that is the Latin name of the Queen of Carthage, intends to underline the historical connection between Italy and Tunisia.

We want to promote dialogue and exchanges between these two countries, particularly between the two cities of Naples and Tunis, with particular attention to the genders’ viewpoint.

Tunisia has been for a long time a meeting point for different groups and nationalities, Europeans, Arabs, Jewish and Africans. Naples is considered as a point of reference in the Mediterranean, it helps dialogue and peace among different cultures.
The previous mayor of Naples, Maurizio Valenzi, comes from the large and active Italian colony that had been present in Tunisia since the XIX century. These connections have lasted despite the dispersion of the Italian community after the independence. This initiative starts in Naples also for this reason.
