This important Gozitan personality (1909-1999) worked as a journalist, teacher, information officer and sound and vision broadcaster; and also served on numerous committees. He won prizes for various literary works, including poetry, plays and long and short prose, some of which have been translated. Pisani was awarded the Medal of Service to the Republic among other honours.

The event will take place today at 10.30am. Entrance is free but one has to call on 2155 7504 to book because attendance is limited due to current health-related restrictions.
