A new year means the publication and launch of the Gasan Mamo Insurance calendar. The theme of the calendar this year is in line with Malta’s national celebrations of Valletta 2018 as Europe’s Capital City of Culture.

“Every year we invest a lot of our energy to issue a creative, imaginative and unusual calendar that offers extra added value to customers. This year is special for Malta and for Valletta and we chose to celebrate this European title by featuring modern day photographs of the capital city, with superimposed period watercolour etchings of times gone by.

“Valletta is steeped in history with stories to tell on every corner. The calendar is a reminder of how different Valletta was in the past, yet still very present today, from its old palazzos, theatre and cathedral to its new gate, Parliament building and theatre,” said general manager Mark Mamo.

All photos featured in this calendar were taken by Rene Rossignaud. Etchings are by Rebecca Bonaci and design by Martina Caruana from MPS. Mr Mamo added: “With our past and present interpretation and understanding of Valletta as our capital city, Gasan Mamo looks ahead to the new year with positivity and enthusiasm.”
