As part of the Public Art Scheme launched by the Gozo Ministry, a public monument entitled ‘Gozo Gossiping’ was erected in the refurbished Villa Rundle gardens and inaugurated by Minister Giovanna Debono last Tuesday. The monument, which is 180cm high, was designed and carved by Gozitan sculptor Joe Xuereb from massive limestone blocks specifically cut and brought over from Siġġiewi. The monument is composed of two seated figures chattering and whispering, portraying the local characteristic of the Gozitans.
