I condemn the attack on film star Joseph Calleia's bust. It is a shame that Anton Agius's brilliant work was the target of culturally challenged idiots.

Calleia was a true ambassador for Malta, a man respected by his colleagues and by film enthusiasts. When he died on October 31, 1975, the news was given great prominence by RAI news; it was stated that Calleia was of Italian nationality but died in Malta.

My sympathies go to young Eman Bonnici, the mastermind behind the Calleia project, the Rabat council and all those who contributed to the monument.
