  • Maltese in the Benelux
    Maltese in the Benelux Simon Dalli A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Masters preparatory with specialisation in History, University of Malta May, 2013 Supervisor: Prof. Henry Frendo Abstract This dissertation aims to investigate the situation of the Maltese who have lived and are living in the Low Countries, recently known as the Benelux. Malta’s entry into the European Union has brought to my attention the ever increasing Maltese presence in Europe. The author chose the Benelux because unlike Malta, which lies in Southern Europe, the region lies in northwest Europe, and therefore the lives of the Maltese in the Benelux, the author assumes, would have developed differently to those of Maltese people living in their homeland. Moreover, it was also intriguing to research the lives of Maltese living in three neighbouring countries with different motives during the years. In this way I hope to highlight the problems the Maltese communities in the Benelux have faced throughout the years. To find information and sources with regards to the Maltese in the Benelux, the author reviewed several primary historical and contemporary sources, throughout Malta, Belgium and the Netherlands. The sources were mainly several documents, passports, journals, and newspaper articles. Moreover, in order to analyse recent topics, the research included a series of questionnaires with Maltese nationals residing in the Benelux so that the validity of this study would be concluded with current details. The dissertation will show the variety of reasons why Maltese have chosen to work in the Benelux. Reasons which were unknown, or else forgotten through time as in many of the historical cases.

It housed the Italian langue, composed of seven Grand Priories; Rome, Lombardy, Venice, Barletta, Capua, Pisa and Messina. The Auberge d’Italie, residence of the Italian Knights, was among the first to be built.
