The Place Names of Gozo – is the title of a volume which presents the results of Simon Salafia’s long-time efforts to collect place names in Gozo.

A graduate in electrical engineering, Salafia has widened his interests to languages and historical research.

These well-nigh six hundred pages offer over nine thousand toponyms – also classified according to locality – through the perusal of an impressive range of sources. Details of the locations and descriptions are included.

The launch of this volume is being hosted by Il-Hagar Museum in Victoria, on Saturday, the 23rd of January, starting at 10.30am. The event is being introduced by Dr Paul G Pisani.

Entrance is free but current restrictions require registration on events@heartofgozo.org.mt

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