St John's Co-Cathedral Foundation

The participation of the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation in the 13th edition of the International Conference of European Cathedrals @Opera della Primaziale Pisana is a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue about the preservation and management of religious heritage. With the theme "Universal Heritage: Religious Properties of Cultural Interest," the conference highlighted the delicate balance cathedrals and sacred places must maintain between their spiritual roles and their cultural and artistic importance. Adriana Alescio, the Chief Conservator and Curatorial Officer at St John’s Co-Cathedral, presented a paper focusing on The Restoration of the Altar in the Chapel of the Virgin of Philermos, at St John’s Co-Cathedral. This paper drew attention to the complex challenges faced in conserving religious artifacts while respecting their sacred context, which is a core issue in heritage management.

At the end of last year, an important milestone in the museum project was reached with the transportation and installation of the grand staircase from the manufacturing site to the museum site. The staircase was lifted from Merchants Street and down into the basement area. The precast base in concrete of the staircase was set at the level of the underground silver vaults. The second structure was installed at the level of the Main Entrance and the third and last structure was installed at the level of the Tapestries Chamber. The transportation and installation of the staircase was a mammoth task because of the size of the 17 tonne sections, of which, four were required to form each structure. This staircase is a remarkable piece of architecture; its spiral design will lead visitors from the vaults to the tapestry chamber, which will surround every wall with beautiful silk scenes. After over a year of successful installation, only the final touches to the tapestry chamber remain to be completed in the coming months.     Fl-aħħar tas-sena li għaddiet, intlaħaq tragward importanti fil-proġett tal-mużew bit-trasport u l-installazzjoni tat-taraġ mis-sit tal-manifattura sa s-sit tal-mużew. It-taraġ ġie mtella’ minn Triq il-Merkanti u niżel fiż-żona tal-kantina. Il-bażi tat-taraġ li kienet precast fil-konkos ġiet imwaqqfa fil-livell tal-kmamar ta' fejn se jinżammu l-artefatti tal-fidda li jinsabu taħt l-art. It-tieni struttura ġiet installata fil-livell tad-Dħul Prinċipali u t-tielet u l-aħħar struttura ġiet installata fil-livell tal-Kamra tal-Arazzi. It-trasport u l-installazzjoni tat-taraġ kien kompitu enormi minħabba d-daqs tas-sezzjonijiet ta '17-il tunnellata, erbgħa minnhom kienu meħtieġa biex jiffurmaw kull struttura. Dan it-taraġ huwa biċċa arkitettura notevoli; id-disinn tiegħu se jwassal lill-viżitaturi mill-kmamar tal-artefatti tal-fidda, għall-kamra b'xeni sbieħ tal-ħarir. Wara aktar minn sena ta’ installazzjoni, fix-xhur li ġejjin għad iridu jitlestew l-aħħar irtokki tal-kamra tal-Arazzi.
