Italian Cultural Institute hosts Maltese poets

The Italian Cultural Institute recently hosted Għaqda Poeti Maltin (The Maltese Poets Association) for an evening of poetry readings, mainly poetry in Italian or by Italian poets.

In a speech, association secretary Charles Magro, who compered the evening, outlined the scope of such literary evenings as a means of promoting the arts.

This was followed by readings by various poets in attendance, with intervals of song by Miriam Camilleri, who also read out two of her poems.
