il-Karnival ta' Malta tas- sena 1928

I found this amazing video that I thought you would like because it gives a glimpse of what Malta looked like in 1928.  Let me know what you think.  Does it bring back any memories for you?

This is priceless! Around 45 seconds into the video watch out for the little girl in the background who almost 'beheads' a Grand Master with her enthusiastic flag-waving. Besides the obvious thrill of this film, also take in the costumes of the onlookers. The many 'ghonnellas' being worn near the theater. The theater looks magnificent, what a loss for our nation. So many theaters in Europe were destroyed and rebuilt, except ours!

You can find this video on YouTube (http://youtu.be/hwbjFH8AbUI)

WELCOME!

Welcome to BACK to MALTA blog!

There are more Maltese outside the Maltese Islands than there are citizens residing in the country itself. The Maltese outside Malta are either emigrants or descendents of emigrants. The countries which have most traditionally hosted the Maltese diaspora are Australia, Canada, the U.S.A., and Britain. Nevertheless, there are Maltese living in virtually every country around the world and this blog will travel the world in hopes of bringing the Maltese back to Malta.
