Francis Ciappara, a lecturer at the International Institute for Baroque Studies at the University of Malta, is giving a talk on social and religious life in 18th century Malta, at the Attard parish hall today at 6.30pm.

The public lecture attempts to recover the ‘voice of the voiceless’, the people who wrote neither diaries nor letters or family memoirs and left no written records of their thoughts and feelings. Their existence was ignored or taken for granted. It discusses social structure and employment, parish government and the role of the parish priest, solidarity among parishioners, mobility, marriage and the family, religion in the life of the people, and death.

A string quartet will be in attendance.
