A great well done Proffesor and may you will continue to be given so much credit that you truly deserve both locally and internationally. AS one can see very clearly that most of the Maltese have surnames that are from Italy just like myself :) I am proud to be of Maltese Italian Ascestry :)

Very Bravu u Proset Profs.
In a a short speech, you really summed up all about the two cultures and traditions and languages.
If only we could a few more like you, on this land.

Congratulations Prof Friggieri. Once while in Belgrade I got to know that a number of your works were translated and printed in book forms. Apparently there were other publishers in different countries who
did the same. Malta is proud of you. Bravu.
