Far conoscere le finalità filantropiche e la gloriosa storia del Rotary International. Con questo spirito il libraio antiquario Carlo Regina, ha dato vita ad una raccolta di preziosi cimeli e curiosità inerenti la storia rotariana. Figlio del rotariano P.H. Comm. Luigi (R. C. Napoli) decano dei librai napoletani e tra i massimi esperti di libri antichi, Carlo Regina diventa socio fondatore del R.C. Pompei south. Since then the love for the prestigious fellowship he inherited from his father, becomes a reason for further efforts, almost a mission. So begins a piece by piece, to take shape the collection of wonders Rotary through which you can take an exciting journey to discover the most unusual and fascinating aspects of this worthy association.
The collection consists of hundreds of witnesses, clearly divided into thematic areas that cover a time span ranging from the origins to the 50s. Included on the same, a rich repertoire of postal correspondence, autographs and documents of the founding fathers, numismatic commemorative medals and emissions, more than a hundred banners, a large nucleus of original photographs and between curiosity, a whole industry dedicated to the Rotary Lady and a section concerning travel diaries made by Presidents Rotarians. Document rare if not unique, is represented by 'copy of the code of ethics of Rotary International, ratified hand-signed by founder Paul P. Harris. The collection has therefore assumed a dignity that it deserves to be exposed and known to Rotarians, but also by anyone wanting to learn this important international institution. 
Accordingly, the Rotary Club Pompei south, in the person of the President, Gen. John Albano, under the auspices of the Governor Mr. Francis Sociable, sought to give life to the show "Rotary in history "to be held May 15, 2010 in the splendid nineteenth-theater environments Di Costanzo - Mattiello of Pompeii.
