News from Malta that a large painting by Mattia Preti (1613-1699) has been removed from the Żurrieq’s Parish Church in preparation for conservation. Curiously, the restoration of Pretti's Saints Roque, Blaise, Dominic and Nicholas of Tolentino interceding for the plague stricken will be financed by the Malta Airport Foundation. The work, under the leadership of conservator Anthony Spagnol, will take until the third quarter of 2022 to complete.
