Fost il-kunçerti u programmi li l-banda tag˙na ˙adet se˙em tul is-sena li g˙addiet Ωgur li wie˙ed jibqa memorabli g˙alina, dak tal pussess il-©did ta’ l-Arçipriet Dun Frankie Bajada, fejn f’xemx tiΩre© fil-festa litur©ika tal-Madonna ta’ Loreto urejna li jekk na˙dmu flimkien kapaçi norgannizaw tajjeb, anzi tajjeb ˙afna fejn ilkoll fra˙na flimkien. Fost l-organizzazjonijiet li wettaqna kellna l-ikla tal-Milied, u, g˙all-ewwel darba, programm t’attivitajiet li l-kumitat organnizza matul is-sajf, fosthom fiera, ˙ar©iet g˙at-tfal f’Malta, BBQ’s u diversi high Teas u Tombla. Dawn huma importanti ferm g˙alina biex inkopru ftit mill-ispejjeΩ li s-soçjeta’ tag˙na jkollha bΩonn sabiex dawn l-attivitajiet ikunu jistg˙u ise˙˙u. Kif tafu tajjeb, qed isiru l-a˙˙ar t˙ejijiet g˙all- Ìita stupenda li ser nag˙mlu fl-Italja. Din tirrikjedi ˙afna xog˙ol g˙ax mhux çajta li torganizza ©ita g˙al kwazi 140 ru˙!

Dan ser ikun jinkludi r-refurbishment tal-karma tal-kumitat. G˙al dan l-g˙an, qabbadna designer ta’ fama mondjali li hu Richard Young. Dan g˙amel bosta xog˙olijiet ta’ pre©ju anke barra minn Malta. Nispera li jekk il-Bambin irid ikollna kollox lest g˙as-sena d-die˙la meta l-banda tag˙na tag˙laq 80 sena mit-twaqqif tag˙ha.

    Malta and Gozo - Experiences of a study tour from 14th to 21st September 2019 Text and Photos: Hans-Rudolf Neumann Saturday, 14th September 2019 The morning flight from Berlin via Frankfurt Main to Malta with Lufthansa ran without any incidents. But check-in service in Berlin leaves a lot to be desired; the transition to digital full automation to reduce staff provoked the oppo- site effect. Luggage check-in and boarding on two different ends of the airport caused anno- yance, while during boarding two flights were serviced on the same counter.

    The Last Supper Seen Six Ways by Louis Inturrisi the New York Times, March 23, 1997

    1 Andrea del Castagno’s Last Supper, in a former convent refectory that is now a museum. The Last Supper Seen Six Ways By Louis Inturrisi The New York Times, March 23, 1997 When I was 9 years old, I painted the Last Supper. I did it on the dining room table at our home in Connecticut on Saturday afternoon while my mother ironed clothes and hummed along with the Texaco. Metropolitan Operative radio broadcast. It took me three months to paint the Last Supper, but when I finished and hung it on my mother's bedroom wall, she assured me .it looked just like Leonardo da Vinci's painting. It was supposed to. You can't go very wrong with a paint-by-numbers picture, and even though I didn't always stay within the lines and sometimes got the colors wrong, the experience left me with a profound respect for Leonardo's achievement and a lingering attachment to the genre. So last year, when the Florence Tourist Bureau published a list of frescoes of the Last Supper that are open to the public, I was immediately on their track. I had seen several of them, but never in sequence. During the Middle Ages the ultima cena—the final supper Christ shared with His disciples before His arrest and crucifixion—was part of any fresco cycle that told His life story. But in the 15th century the Last Supper began to appear independently, especially in the refectories, or dining halls, of the convents and monasteries of the religious orders founded during the Middle Ages.

    Malta SHORT Pierre Sammut ARTICLEST he Influence of the - Knights of the Order THINK of St. John on Malta CULTURE Due to its geographical position at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean, Malta has wit- nessed many different influences. In Ancient times, it attracted the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginian and the Romans, then other con- querors including the Arabs, Normans, Ara- gonese and the Crusaders, the French and the British. But one of the most fascinating pe- riods of Maltese history remains to this very day the period governed by the Knights Hos- pitaller, better known as the Order of St. John, who governed the islands from 1530 to the end of the 18th century, when the French un- der Commander Napoleon Bonaparte took over Malta. Prehistoric Temples and Majestic Palaces from different periods are unique landmarks. The Knights in particular left their marks on vario- us aspects of Maltese culture, in particular the language, buildings and literature. Their period is often referred to as Malta's Golden Age, as a result of the architectural and artistic embel- lishment and as a result of advances in the overall health, education and prosperity of the local population. Music, literature, theatre as well as visual arts all flourished in this period, which also saw the foundation and develop- ment of many of the Renaissance and Baro- que towns and villages, palaces and gardens, tomy and Surgery was established by Grand the most notable being the capital city, Valletta, Master Fra Nicolau Cotoner I d'Olesa at the one of several built and fortified by the Sacra Infermeria in Valletta, in 1676.

I fondly remember your participation in the Council for Maltese Living Abroad, where we tried to do our best to strengthen relations between the Maltese diaspora and the Motherland. I strongly believe that the Maltese abroad are still an untapped source which we could use help us achieve the objectives I spoke about in my inaugural speech. Please convey my heartfelt best wishes to all your readers and may we all keep Malta's name in our hearts. H.E. Dr.George Vella . President George Vella visits Bishop of Gozo Mgr Mario Grech As part of his first visit to Gozo this Saturday, the President George Vella, together with his wife Miriam Vella, paid a visit to the Bishop of Gozo Mgr Mario Grech, in the Bishop’s Curia, Victoria, where they met also by the Curia and the College of Chaplains. The Bishop congratulated Dr Vella on his appointment and presented him with a copy of the Bible. Bishop Grech said, “from my heart I trust that despite the many commitments, that you will manage to find some time for personal prayer.”Later, the President was also expected to visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Ta’ Pinu.

    MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 189 October 2017 1 MALTESE E-NEWSLETTER 189 October 2017 By POLITICO The Malta and European Union flags around the Auberge de Castille in Valletta | EPA/Domenic Aquilina For Malta, the EU’s smallest country with a population of around 420,000, its first shot at the rotating presidency of the Council of the EU was pitched as the island’s coming-out ceremony. For smaller member countries, the presidency is as an extended advertising campaign, giving airtime to a country normally barely on the radar of the world’s media. But with potential calamity never far from the door in the form of Brexit, the migration crisis and other problems, the presidency also has a vital diplomatic role — brokering agreement among 28 nations with often wildly differing agendas. At times, cat-herding looks like a vastly simpler profession. Tasked with leading discussions between EU governments as well as negotiating draft laws with the European Parliament, the role is at the centre of what Brussels does best: legislating. (Or at least attempting to.) And Malta turned out to be rather good at it — negotiating deals to push through legislation in dozens of policy areas. Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, who once led opposition to EU membership in the island’s 2003 referendum, described the opportunity as “fantastic” when POLITICO interviewed him earlier this year. He and his ministers took full advantage of the many press conferences that placed them alongside EU’s political elite, who were gushing in their praise of Muscat at the closing Council summit last week.

    Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel

    Scrovegni Chapel 1 Scrovegni Chapel The Scrovegni Chapel, or Cappella degli Scrovegni, also known as the Arena Chapel, is a church in Padua, Veneto, Italy. It contains a fresco cycle by Giotto, completed about 1305, that is one of the most important masterpieces of Western art. The church was dedicated to Santa Maria della Carità at the Feast of the Annunciation, 1305. Giotto's fresco cycle focuses on the life of the Virgin Mary and celebrates her role in human salvation. The chapel is also known as the Arena Chapel because it was built on land purchased by Enrico Scrovegni that abutted the site of a Roman arena. This space is where an open-air procession and sacred representation of the Annunciation to the Virgin had been played out for a generation before the chapel was built. A motet by Marchetto da Padova appears to have been composed for the dedication on March 25, 1305.[1] The chapel was commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, whose family fortune was made through the practice of usury, which at this time meant charging interest when loaning money, a sin so grave that it resulted in exclusion from the Christian sacraments.[2] Built on family estate, it is often suggested that Enrico built the chapel in penitence for his father's sins and for Capella degli Scrovegni absolution for his own. Enrico's father Reginaldo degli Scrovegni is the usurer encountered by Dante in the Seventh Circle of Hell. A recent study suggests that Enrico himself was involved in usurious practices and that the chapel was intended as restitution for his own sins.[3] Enrico's tomb is in the apse, and he is also portrayed in the Last Judgment presenting a model of the chapel to the Virgin.

    Fortification Drawings of the Baroque Age at the National Library of Malta

    European Journal of Science and Theology, December 2019, Vol.15, No.6, 197-202 BOOK REVIEW Lines of defence: fortification drawings of the Baroque Age at the National Library of Malta Denis De Lucca, Stephen Spiteri and Hermann Bonnici (eds.) International Institute for Baroque Studies, University of Malta, Malta, 2015, 399 pp, ISBN: 978-99957-856-1-1, EUR 850 In 2015, the International Institute for Baroque Studies in collaboration with Malta Libraries published its magnum opus ‘Lines of Defence: Fortification Drawings of the Baroque Age at the National Library of Malta’. This work is edited by three academics of the Institute, namely Denis De Lucca (Director), Stephen Spiteri (a leading scholar in the field of historical research focused on fortress building) and Hermann Bonnici (an architect whose specialisation is the conservation/restoration of Malta’s fortifications). Albeit the publication’s main forward was penned by Juanito Camilleri (Rector of the University of Malta at the time of publication), one also finds an informal one by Oliver Mamo (the National Librarian and CEO of Malta Libraries at the time of publication) followed by a general introduction to the collection of drawings housed at the National Library of Malta (NLM) by Maroma Camilleri (Senior Librarian at the NLM). This publication is an all-encompassing compendium of graphical designs relating to the diverse fortifications studded all over the Maltese Islands. It brings together a unique collection, mostly preserved at the NLM in Valletta, of plans and drawings of mainly eighteenth century military architecture in Malta and Gozo. This significant publication constitutes the largest collection of original plans, elevations and axonometric-type/perspective drawings of fortifications, projected and/or realised on the islands during the rule of the Hospitaller Order (1530-1798).
