In order to commemorate our dear piano teacher, Giovanna Bascetta, known to us all as Zia Gio, a portrait is being painted of her which, it is hoped, could then hang in a suitable museum.

The portrait has been commissioned and the plan is to have a gathering of all past pupils in the near future to pay tribute to her. Past pupils’ assistance is needed with this. May they please send their address to me at 232/10 Belgravia Court, Tower Road, Sliema SLM1601. A donation towards the cost of the portrait would also be appreciated if possible.

We all remember what a devoted and talented teacher she was, deserving of our recognition. Below is a list of known past pupils. If your name is not among them, please write just the same so you can be with us on the day we pay tribute to her. We await your reply and look forward to seeing you soon.
