AVVISO DI ASSUNZIONE DI UN IMPIEGATO A CONTRATTO A TEMPO INDETERMINATO DA ADIBIRE AI SERVIZI DI SEGRETERIA – ARCHIVIO – CONTABILITA' PRESSO L'AMBASCIATA D'ITALIA A MALTA

With these words of welcome allow me to introduce myself as the new Director of the Italian Cultural Institute.

2013 sees the start of my new work and human experience after having served in Barcelona during the last four years as Director of our Institute there. During these first few weeks I have already had the possibility of coming in contact with the Maltese cultural and social environment and the positive experience gained encourages me to proceed with greater energy.

The warm welcome by the Maltese is amply reciprocated. In actual fact, I have chosen Malta as my next destination, whilst excluding others, for more than one reason.
The first reason is most certainly the cultural interest towards a young and dynamic country with an eye to the future but also with a glorious past which often, and for many centuries, weaved itself together with Italian history and culture. And this is the reason why I believe in close collaboration, together with the Italian Embassy, with various local institutions for the fulfillment and joint production of events in the various cultural fields aimed at conveying a better awareness of Italian traditional and historic aspects together with the current events and the novelty of contemporary Italy.

The second reason is tied to intellectual curiosity in the discovery of a land which conceals interesting aspects waiting to be gradually revealed and which often witness the deep roots of the Italian cultural presence on these islands.

Last but not least, emotional bonds which bring back distant personal family memories linked to Malta and my profound feeling of being a “man of the Mediterranean”.
All this promises to help us become friends. Join in everybody!

It is with great pleasure that we would like to inform all the friends of our Italian Cultural
Institute that, thanks to the works carried out by Mr. Peter Cutajar of Light Design Solution,
in collaboration with Mr Stefano Dall'Osso and Mr Roberto Tesolin of the Italian company BLight,
the Institute now has a new lighting system which will add value to the cultural events it hosts.


MATTIA PRETI - FAITH AND HUMANITY

On the occasion of the fourth centenary of the birth of Mattia Preti National Museum of Fine Arts (Heritage Malta) and Museo Civico of Taverna are glad to announce the international exhibition “Mattia Preti – Faith and Humanity”, curated by Sandro Debono (Senior Curator, National Museum of Fine Arts, Malta) and Giuseppe Valentino (Director, Museo Civico of Taverna).
The exhibition is a tribute to the artist at two historic venues; his hometown Taverna, situated in the mountains of Calabria in the South of Italy and Malta, where he toiled for almost forty years and passed away in 1699, and it includes more than fifty works coming from important Italian and foreign museums.
