Geoffrey Aquilina Ross ; Enrico Formica ; Maria DeGabriele
City of Valletta : European Capital of Culture 2018, a World Heritage Site
Hardcover, 224 pages, ENG, 325 x 265 x 25 mm, dustjacket, cassette, Full-paged coloured photographs, with several fold-out pages, Very rare book !. ISBN 9789990985658. Valletta, the capital of Malta, with only 6,000 inhabitants, is the smallest in all of Europe. A city full of sandstone buildings, characteristic balconies and colorful doors, where steep alleys determine the street scene. Valletta is framed by towering fortress walls with beautiful parks and sunny terraces, but you will also find impressive churches and numerous museums. Valletta was also allowed to call itself the European Capital of Culture in 2018, so you understand why you still have to book a flight to Malta this year.

Keppel fought with the 14th Regiment of Foot in the Battle of Waterloo. He joined the second battalion in Corfu, and was transferred to the 22nd Foot, with which he served in Mauritius and at the Cape of Good Hope, returning home in 1819. Keppel was transferred as lieutenant to the 20th Regiment of Foot in 1820 and went to India, where he was aide-de-camp to the Governor-General Marquess of Hastings until his resignation in 1823, when Keppel returned to England, travelling overland through Persia, Moscow and Saint Petersburg. He wrote many books.
