Spinto da generoso entusiasmo lascio` pennello e tavolozza per imbracciare il fucile. Arruolatosi come soldato semplice nell'esercito di quell'Italia da lui ritenuta la vera patria, fu protagonist di una sfortunata missione segreta conclusasi con l'arresto e un processo per alto tradimento. Entro` cosi` nella schiera delle Medaglie d'Oro al Valor Militre. Figura controversa, protagonist di una vicenda tragica, fu considerate in Italia un eroe irredentista e a Malta, anche se non da tutti, un traditore... 153 pages. 50 euro.

19. Thomas Freller. The Rise and Fall of Abate Giuseppe Vella. 2001. 236 pages.
For some years in the end of the eighteenth century, Valletta-born Giuseppe Vella enjoyed a luminous fame all over Europe. His translations of Arabic sources of the history of Sicily were acclaimed and threatened to change many a cherished historical notion. His discovery of 17 lost books by the Roman historian Livy was another astonishing literary event. And yet in a few years doubts started being cast about the abate's integrity and even his knowledge of Arabic. Soon some scholars atarted delving into these translations and a fascinating story - with all the makings of a detective story- emerged which divided the European literary scene into two opposing factions. Not much has been written about Abate Vella and most of what has been written is the result of fantasy and imagination. Abate Vella also featured in Leonardo Sciascia's The Council of Egypt. Thomas Freller's meticulously-documented account throws much-needed light on this controversial figure who has lived in the shadows of history as he describes a story which had far wider political and social reverberations than many thought.
