Designed by Emanuele Luigi Galizia towards the end of his career, the Istituto Vincenzo Bugeja in Santa Venera remains one of Malta’s lesser-known but most evocative institutional buildings. This guided visit begins with the Technical Museum housed within the complex, where early twentieth-century machinery is still arranged in its original educational context.
The visit continues through key areas of the historic building, including the main staircase, decorated with Art Nouveau motifs and painted details. The evening concludes with a personal reflection on Galizia’s legacy by Robert Galea-Naudi B.Sc (Hons), M.Sc, MRTPI—Galizia’s great-great-grandson—who will offer an intimate portrait of the architect’s life, values, and motivations.
