This morning, the Speaker of the House of Representatives Anglu Farrugia, received Mr Joseph Attard Tabone who presented him with the book “ A Man of Cultural Achievements – Essays in honour of Joseph Attard Tabone”.

The Speaker Anglu Farrugia thanked Mr Attard Tabone for the presentation of his book, which is full of cultural richness related to the history of our country and which he said, belongs to each and every Maltese citizen.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives Anglu Farrugia, informed Mr Attard Tabone that the book will be part of the collection of Parliament’s library.

Mr Attard Tabone, has during his lifetime greatly contributed to Gozo in the field of archaeology, as well as in the protection of Gozo’s heritage – a contribution already recognised and appreciated, when he was granted the Medal for Services to the Republic in 2001 and the Gieh Ghawdex Award by Circolo Gozitano in 2008.

The book contains several writings by well-known authors – all experts in their field, of a historical, cultural and natural aspect.

Some of these writings are also about Xaghra, where Mr Attard Tabone was born and raised. The interesting biography of Mr Attard Tabone encompasses all the work he has undertaken to protect the historical and artistic heritage of Gozo.
