Earlier this month, the Grand Hotel Excelsior was honoured to host Professor Giuliano Amato and Mrs Amato during a visit to Malta. Professor Amato is President of the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of Italy Committee, and Vice President of the Convention of the Future of Europe. He twice served as Prime Minister of Italy and was elected to the Senate, representing Tuscany.

Professor Amato expressed his pleasure with the warm welcome extended at the Hotel. “I am impressed that all of you can speak Italian”, Professor Amato told team members as he was checking into his room. Italian tourists who happened to be in the Hotel’s lobby upon his arrival were surprised and very enthusiastic to see one of their leading politicians.
