A number of monuments depicting prominent people who have made a name for themselves in the field of cultural heritage on the Maltese Islands, are now be able to come to life and narrate their own story.

The monologues of the prominent people, both in Maltese and in English, are about three minutes long each.

On one side of the pedestal of each monument there is a QR code installation. This code just needs to be scanned to gain access to the monologues as well as other information.

This is a new way of spreading local cultural heritage in an urban space and provides a completely new dimension of cultural conservation in Gozo, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage said.

The monuments are:

Archpriest Saver Cassar (Victoria)

Mgr. Luigi Vella (Victoria)

George Pisani (Victoria)

Can. Agius De Soldanis (Victoria)

Laurent Ropà (Victoria)

Mro. Joseph Vella (Victoria)

Mro. Giuseppe Giardini Vella (Victoria)

Wistin Camilleri (Victoria)

Ninu Cremona (Victoria – currently not in place)

Mro. Vincenzo Caruana Spiteri (Sannat)

Dr. Anton Buttigieg (Qala)

Mgr. Nikol G. Cauchi (Gharb)

Frenc tal-Gharb (Gharb)

Rev. Salvatore Portelli (San Lawrenz)

Nicholas Monsarrat (San Lawrenz)

This is another “ambitious project from the Directorate for Cultural Heritage within the Ministry for Gozo,” the Directorate said.
