The Magic Box
It’s the second Tuesday of the month, it’s 6.30 pm, so it must be The Magic Box at the Italian Cultural Institute, a date you can’t miss! Continuing the programme, Dott. Anna Porcheddu is delighted to present the topic of December, Il presepe… una storia di fede, arte e cultura.
This month we give a warm welcome to Charles Bellia, Secretary, PRO and Webmaster for Ghaqda Hbieb tal-Presepju, (Association of Friends of the Crib), which was started in Malta 28 years ago. His presentation will follow the evolution of the crib from the Catacombs in Rome, to Greccio and Naples from where it travelled around the world, arriving in Malta early in 1600. Being responsible for International contacts and collaboration, Charles is always extremely busy with crib exhibitions, in fact he has just had two, one in Sicily and the other one in Rome, so we are very lucky he has accepted to be our guest in this festive season.
After the presentation we’ll chat over a glass of wine and some Christmas treats. Everyone is welcome.
Entrance is free.
