A monument dedicated to Mgr Alwiġ Vella, a former archdeacon of the Gozo cathedral and first rector of Savina church, was unveiled at Savina Square, Victoria. Cast in bronze by the firm Domus Dei in Rome on a model by Alfred Camilleri-Cauchi, it was inaugurated by Gozo Minister Anton Refalo at the end of a musical literary programme and blessed by archdeacon Giovanni Bosco Gauci, a great-nephew of Mgr Vella.
