The two-volume collection of Gozo Legends written by Gorg Pisani – Triqat il-Holm – is being launched at Il-Hagar Museum at the end of this month.

This important Gozitan personality (1909-1999) worked as a journalist, teacher, information officer and sound and vision broadcaster, as well as serving on numerous committees.

Pisani won prizes for various literary works, produced poetry, plays and long and short prose (some of which have been translated). Gorg Pisani was awarded the Midalja ghall-Qadi tar-Repubblika and other honours.

The book launch is on Saturday, the 28th of November, starting at 10.30am. Entrance is free, however booking on info@heartofgozo.org.mt is required because of current restrictions.

Selected illustrations prepared by Kenneth Zammit Tabona for the books will be exhibited at this cultural centre from Thursday, the 26th of November to Tuesday, the 1st of December. Opening hours are 9am to 5pm seven days a week.

The current exhibition which runs until the beginning of December, offers a selection of exotic photographs by Tommaso Vecchi.

Il-Hagar Museum is located in St George’s Square, Victoria, Gozo.
