About Me
- GAPMALTA
- Gabriel A. Pellegrini (b.1945) Insurance Underwriter by Profession. Since 1993 has dedicated himself totally to Art, as an artist, art collector and research. He has given his service to University students, through his knowledge and art publications in his modest archive. He was the Curator of the Vincent Apap (1909-2003) of Victor Diacono (b.1915) retrospective exhibitions organised by the Bank of Valletta during November-December 2000 and May-July 2007
Josef Kalleja was a friend of my grandfather, Publius Mifsud (1912-2001). He spoke of him often with great admiration. Publius had a sculpture of Josef's, an eagle made from horn, which he was very proud of. My grandparents and I last saw Josef Kalleja in his home in 1985; our family left Malta for the U.S. in 1951.
