| Mrs Petra Bianchi and Professor Rev. Fr. Peter | Serracino Inglott recently presented Education Minister Dr Louis Galea with a copy of the prestigious volume "Encounters with Malta", which was sponsored by Vodafone Malta Ltd. |
| "Encounters With Malta" consists of a | survey of around 250 famous or celebrated men and women from all over the world who enjoyed some form of 'encounter' with the Maltese Islands - from St. Paul to Grand Master La Valette, Queen Elizabeth, Caravaggio and Victor Pasmore, from Count Roger to Anthony Burgess, Emporer Hirohito and Pope John Paul II. |
| "Unlike other historical material, this | 400-page volume is unique in that it focuses on the encounters with our Island and their effects on individuals rather than on personalities or the historical time frame," said Minister Galea. He commended both Mrs Petra Bianchi and Professor Rev. Fr. Peter Serracino Inglott for the excellent work produced, in such a remarkable and original format. |
| Eight of Malta's top writers joined forces to put | together a wealth of facts, anecdotes, historical analysis and illustrations. Edited by Petra Bianchi and Peter Serracino Inglott, the book contains contributions by Giovanni Bonello, Nicholas de Piro, Richard England, Thomas Freller, Emy Scicluna and Paul Xuereb, and is introduced with a preface by His Excellency the President of Malta, Prof. Guido de Marco. |
| "Encounters with Malta" is now available | at leading booksellers all over Malta and Gozo. The Minister concluded that Malta's geographical location and its significance to the region meant that over hundreds of years, it developed into a cultural, industrial, military and technological centre. As we look into the future, it is vital that our country continues to contribute towards humankind's development. |
