The following day, Professor Ciacci took part in a public meeting at the Presidential Palace of the Maltese capital attended by the President of the Republic of Malta, Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

ABOUT/ THE IIC


The Italian Cultural Institute was founded in February 1971. It was housed temporarily at the Embassy of Italy until 1974 although it was quite active from its inception. The Embassy’s Cultural Attaché is also the Director of the Institute. In 1974, the Institute was transferred to its current seat in Valletta. The building, built in 1602 by Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt, was originally used as an armoury. Later on, the documents of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta were transferred there and it consequently adopted the name and functions of the Order’s Chancellery. The mural plaque at the entrance to the building recalls the work undertaken by Grand Master Wignacourt in finding a place for the Order’s arms and official records.
