Bruno Barbieri & Marvin Gauci in Malta: Episode 1 - Valletta 

Nice video. Super classy watch Marvin! :)

Great video! Thank you. Maybe one day I will visit beautiful Malta, the Queen of Europe. I believe Christopher Marlowe secretly lived in exile in Malta from 1593 to 1611 under the alias William Watts, the first English trade consul on the island. He wrote Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado About Nothing, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, and all the other plays in Valletta. Watts' epitaph at the Carmelite Church (see Mifsud, 1914) included "Post Tenebras Spero Lucem." This is the motto of Juan de la Cuesta, the first printer of Don Quixote, and this Latin phrase is closely associated with DQ. It's almost like a code-word for the novel. Did Marlowe also write DQ? Yes, he most certainly did! He wrote DQ from beautiful Malta. Shelton's translations of 1612 and 1620 are the original DQ. Who was the model for DQ? It was none other than the Spanish Grandmaster Martin Garcez (1595-1601), a friend and close confidante of Marlowe. Malta has an astonishing hidden history just waiting to be revealed!
