The Under Secretary of State at the Italian Ministry for Cultural Property and Activities, Nicola Bono, will today inaugurate two restoration projects at St John's Co-Cathedral, in Valletta.

Backed by the Italian financial protocol, the restoration jobs will include the chapel of Italy and the 16th century organ in the oratory which houses the Caravaggio masterpieces of the Beheading of St John and the St Jerome.

Mr Bono is visiting Malta as a guest of the Valletta Rehabilitation Committee.

The restoration is being done with the collaboration of the St John Co-Cathedral Foundation.
