Heritage Malta officials Pierre Sammut and Godwin Vella, recently were in Mallorca where they took part in the closing and presentation of results of the Trimed Project.

The meetings organised by the Department of Environment have assembled technical staff of the islands of the Mediterranean. During their stay, the participants visited Ca’n Sabater’s Warehouse where they were welcomed by the Adviser of Environment of the Consell de Mallorca, Catalina Julve, as well as the Insular Director of Environment, Francesc Cladera.

The Trimed Culture 2000 Project is a common tool for the revaluation of the culture of the “Mediterranean trilogy “ (wheat, vine and olive). The project lasted three years and was developed in six Mediterranean islands – Mallorca, Cyprus, Corsica, Sicily, Malta and Naxos.

The project participants carried out a series of activities that have been marked by the study, the investigation, the restoration, the diffusion and the cooperation, for the recovery and revaluation of these cultural facts that join these Mediterranean islands, since they form a part of its landscape, agricultural cultures and their gastronomy.

Heritage Malta took part in the project by putting up a temporary exhibition on bread at Ta’ Kola Windmill in Gozo. The exhibition will remain open until 30 December after which work will start on the setting up of a permanent exhibition.
