Italian singer-songwriter Lucio Dalla has arrived in Mata to give a concert at the MFCC tomorrow.
Dalla told The Times earlier this week that he feels at home in Malta.
"Malta is a dream that has lasted more than 40 years. One of the first things I ever did was the Festival di Malta. I was still unknown in Italy... I was fascinated by Malta - maybe because it was one of my first jobs. Then, I returned last year and was conquered. It happened to me in Sicily and I bought a house there; it happened in the Isola Tremiti and I have a studio there. When I fall in love with a place, I end up frequenting it regularly. I believe I'll be hanging out in Malta a lot," he said.
"I keep my boat in Sicily and I'm thinking of leaving it in Malta for a year and staying there as much as possible."
