🇲🇹 Restawr tal-Pittura tal-Madonna ta' Pompei fil-Knisja Parrokkjali tal-Kalkara![]()

Fil-kappellun tal-Knisja Parrokkjali tal-Kalkara nsibu pittura li turi lill-Madonna ta’ Pompei. Din il-pittura saret fl-1896 mill-pittur rinomat Giuseppe Calì. L-artal tal-knisja preċedenti, li kien maħdum mill-marmista Taljan Mariano Russo, flimkien ma’ din il-pittura, ġew ffinanzjati mill-benefattur Antonio Bezzina.![]()

Fortunatament din il-pittura ġiet salvata mill-qerda tat-Tieni Gwerra Dinjija wara li ttieħdet Għawdex flimkien mal-pitturi l-oħra fuq struzzjonijiet tal-Arċisqof Mons. Mikiel Gonzi. Ma’ dan l-artal hija assoċjata l-Fratellanza tal-Madonna tar-Rużarju, li ġiet amalgamata mal-fratellanzi l-oħra sa mit-twaqqif tagħha fl-1898 bħala l-Fratellanza ta’ San Ġużepp.![]()

Matul is-snin, id-devozzjoni lejn il-Madonna tar-Rużarju kibret b’mod sinifikanti, u d-devoti kienu jixgħelu ammont sostanzjali ta’ xemgħat quddiem din il-pittura. Għalkemm il-pittura ġiet restawrata fil-passat, din għandha xi ħsara fit-tila, u l-verniċ fuq iż-żebgħa skura ferm, tant li l-pittura ddalmet b’mod konsiderevoli.![]()

F’dawn l-aħħar jiem, l-Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara nediet proġett ġdid ta’ restawr ta’ din il-pittura. Grazzi għall-għajnuna tal-voluntiera li jaħdmu fil-Knisja, il-pittura tniżżlet minn postha u ġiet trasferita lejn il-bottega ta’ Atelier del Restauro Ltd., fejn taħt is-superviżjoni tar-restawratriċi Valentina Lupo, beda x-xogħol meħtieġ ta’ restawr. Dan il-proġett qed isir mill-Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara b’kollaborazzjoni mall- Parroċċa San Ġużepp Kalkara #parroċċakalkara, il-Kalkara.![]()

🇬🇧 Restoration of the painting of Our Lady of Pompei in the Kalkara Parish Church![]()
![]()
In the south transept of the Parish Church of Kalkara, there is a painting depicting Our Lady of Pompei. This artwork was created in 1896 by the renowned painter Giuseppe Calì. The altar of the previous church, crafted by the Italian marble sculptor Mariano Russo, along with this painting, were funded by benefactor Antonio Bezzina.![]()
![]()
Fortunately, the painting was spared from destruction during World War II, after being transferred to Gozo together with the other paintings, following instructions from Archbishop Mons. Mikiel Gonzi. Associated with this altar is the Confraternity of Our Lady of the Rosary, which was amalgamated with other confraternities since its establishment in 1898 as the Confraternity of Saint Joseph.![]()
![]()
Over the years, devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary grew significantly, with devotees lighting a substantial number of candles in front of the painting. Although the artwork was restored in the past, it shows signs of damage to the canvas and the varnish darkened, resulting in considerable obstruction of the image.![]()
![]()
Recently, Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara launched a new restoration project for this painting. Thanks to the help of volunteers working in the church, the painting was carefully taken down, and then transferred to the workshop of Atelier Del Restauro, where restoration work has commenced under the supervision of restorer Valentina Lupo. This project is being carried out by Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara in collaboration with the Kalkara Parish of Saint Joseph.
🇲🇹 Titjib Edukattiv fil-Kunvent tal-Kapuċċini tal-Kalkara![]()

Matul din is-sena, bl-għajnuna tal-Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara, il-Patrijiet Kapuċċini tal-Kalkara qed jimplimentaw proġett edukattiv fil-klassijiet tal-katekiżmu fil-kumpless tal-Kunvent tal-Kapuċċini tal-Kalkara.![]()
![]()
Sabiex jiġu implimentati metodi ta’ tagħlim aktar interattivi, ġew installati monitors f’ħames klassijiet tal-katekiżmu. Dawn jinkludu aċċessorji bħall-HDMI cables u brackets biex jitwaħħlu mal-ħajt u dan sabiex ikun jista isir użu minn filmati interattivi. Dan il-metodu huwa ta’ benefiċċju partikolarment għat-tfal li jistgħu jsibuha diffiċli biex jipproċessaw informazzjoni awdjoviżiva jew astratta.![]()
![]()
Barra minn hekk, ġew installati whiteboards f’ħames klassijiet tal-katekiżmu. Dawn ser jiffaċilitaw komunikazzjoni iżjed ċara u effettiva, jinkoraġġixxu parteċipazzjoni attiva u jsaħħu l-kollaborazzjoni. Dawn ser jgħinu wkoll lill-istudenti jivviżwalizzaw dak li qed jingħad fil-lezzjoni u b’hekk titjieb il-komunikazzjoni ġenerali.![]()
![]()
Inxtara wkoll projector li se jitwaħħal fis-Sala tal-Kunvent tal-Kapuċċini. Dan ser jgħin biex il-kontenut viżiv jista’ jintwera fuq skala akbar u jkun viżibbli b’mod ċar għal udjenzi kbar. L-għan tiegħu hu li jsaħħaħ l-impenn waqt konferenzi, seminars, workshops u wirjiet permezz ta’ preżentazzjonijiet dinamiċi u viżwalment attraenti.![]()

Dan il-proġett qed isir mill-Assoċjazzjoni Wirt il-Kalkara b’kollaborazzjoni mall-Patrijiet Kapuċċini Kalkara u huwa kofinanzjat minn fondi tal-Unjoni Ewropea taħt il-programm LEADER 2014 – 2020.![]()
