Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar (FAA) has launched a cycle of talks aimed at highlighting Maltese heritage and environment issues with a lecture given by Dr Albert Ganado on the early maps of Valletta.

Dr Ganado gave a very interesting presentation which explained both the evolution of the map printing process at the time, as well as the different developments which by which the Knights decided upon the best plan for Valletta’s bastions and streets. The presentation drew to an unexpected close when Dr John Consiglio, Vice President of the 3/11 Regiment RMA Association presented Dr Ganado with a limited edition map showing Malta’s WWII gun-posts, after which Dr. Ganado was presented with bottles of Gattavecchi wine.

FAA said that the delivery given at the Corinthia Chameleon Room was very well received by an audience who turned out in great numbers to share in Dr Ganado’s incomparable knowledge of old Valletta maps, based on his unique collection which has now been passed on to Heritage Malta.
