TA PEPPI - MALTESE STONE CARVINGS
Read moreYou've seen them everywhere, these rounded, streamlined, often feminine sculptures, carved from globigerine, the beautiful local stone. Here's your chance to meet Joe Xuereb, copied but never equalled by so many craftsmen today! 30 years ago, Joe was trying to reproduce a Neolithic statue found in a temple. This was to be followed by a lot of work, a continuous flirtation with the objects found on the island by archaeologists, until he created an obvious artistic identity, today propelled on the international scene where he is nicknamed the "Gozitan Botero"! Joe will be delighted to open the doors of his studio, 100 m from the village church, free of charge. Don't hesitate for a second, especially as Joe speaks excellent French!
GOZO 360 MULTIVISION
Read moreThis space is located between the Citadel and It-Tokk Square, at the corner of Castle Hill and Republic Street. Here you will find that the story told in slides seems to be a Maltese speciality. Here, it is the story of the island of Gozo which is commented in French and in fourteen other languages. More than 1,000 images have been combined to tell the history, culture and landscapes of the island. In other words, it will be an opportunity for a space-time journey that should particularly appeal to children and teenagers.
