I love malta very beautiful island.tknx very much for sharing.

That was my first carnival , but i didn't see it as i was about 3 months in 1953 a few months younger than that toddler.

Thankyou so much. Now i can see where my dad's side came from, Borgs from Valletta who then migrated to New Zealand. Thankyou again! It means a lot.

Prosit tal video antik kemm kienu in nies ferhana !

I visited Malta and Gozo in 2023 for the first time. This Video shows me, how unique and beautiful these Islands were, many years ago. In present time, its mostly dirty, ugly and overpopulated. Its kind of a shame, what happend to this ancient beauty.

One thing I am critical of this wonderful film is that the music should have been Maltese.

They sound Tunisian

Thanks for the video, Mr. Cassar. It made me feel nostalgic for 1950s Malta.

In 1953 I was born at my maternal grandmother house at Hamrun ,fathdr asked,what is ithe baby gender ? A girl my aunt ,mum's youngest sister said to my father mshe admired alot ,as she told me many beautiful stories of my father how he took them out alot and was very generous ,gave them furniture he made himself and was kind to my grandparents next door, we had huge families then , And we had humble homes many started with as even food Were with rations after ten years after war was over in 1955 many had lilttle to eat tbst is whyGozo saved us when our then dear bishopMichealGonzi asked to be given more petrol to go toGozo so they gi e us food as in Malta,provisions of food were gone finished and so then Gozitan gave us food vegetables and flour to share snd we got the George Cross for the persevidrance and courage to dtand firm not to give up they said the rosaries in she.ters when sir raid rang my father and my su t I was told went to Nearest vi,lage tower I,from Hamrun to get flour do thry make dough ,I remember we made ho e made biscuits with flour,sugar and we fried thdm for

I love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Malta

Fale me de arqueologia

So different now. But still a beautiful island with wonderful Maltese people. I would rather spend a week on Malta than a World Cruise.

Maltese women are beautiful

beautiful video.

ma kien jonqoshom XEJN!! mhux bhalna.. ghanda kollox u m'ghandna xejn ghax lanqas familja ta wild wiehed a taffordja trabbi ahseb w ara dawk it-tfal kollha!! beautiful videos! 2022 SUCKS!

Ugly and poor time. I was born in the 1956 .Life was horrible and now is also horrible .There is no such a good life ,because you born with the death sentence but you don't know when your execution hour is going to be ,also how it is going to be. Therefore in life there is nothing so great ,only suffering.

I remember it all so well. It is a good film and in my opinion, in 1950 the young women looked more feminine than they do these days, where now they try to look sexy rather than elegant and feminine. Many do not know the difference these days!!! It is a pity that this film is spoiled by the wrong background music which is not so local and it could have been easily accompanied by the local traditional national rhythms, in singing and in lively marches and other local primitive homemade instruments. I still remember my mother wearing the Ghonnella/Faldetta drape on her head and around her, during WW2 and up to 1945-1948. During WW2 my mother Cettina used to hide her two-gallon paraffin can she got from secret sources to use to cook with on the " Valor" and some food/ vegetables, she got from Mqabba where we had relatives who cultivated their fields, and she walked at night, 20 miles return trip to Mqabba from Vittoriosa to get it. It was not an easy time for mothers with children and others, but in 1950 we started improving the local conditions and other states of affairs. ruclips.net/video/-R3zEITabO8/видео.html

Awesome

british colony my ars loll, they invaded many countries in the world,and spilled a lots of blood, to those innecent people co's there was not to much education,u see it yourselves,examples. usa/africa/and more,

Thankyou for sharing joseph..wish you good health.

what a brilliant video. we might not have been rich but enjoyed life and my childhood was the best in Malta. is there someone who has videos of the carnival of 1959 and 1960 with the mickey mouse and minnie mouse float

so this is what British Malta was like? hmm nice. There were more happy people than there are nowadays 😅

Grazzi Sur Cassar. Artist bravu hafna.

I just discovered that the Cassar brothers were interned in Italy throughout WW2. They suffered quite a lot.

I have been a professional videographer and cinematographer for 30 years and this is one of the best photographed home movies I have ever seen. The cinematographer has a natural ability for visual story telling. Very nice slice of history well told.

The EU have destroyed Malta 🇲🇹

Good vid, Joe Cassar. Subbed

Amazing!

Footage taken in february as there are street decorations for the feast of st paul and alsocarnival floats which most probable was held towards end of fevruary

At 8.35..8.40 a part of Valletta Royal Opera House was still standing.

Beautiful video

I weep for this Beautiful, unspoilt Malta....today we have Minister Ian Borg & Infrastructure Malta destroying hundreds & hundreds of tumoli agricultural land, destroying mature trees by the thousand, destroying historic buildins, polluting the air, increasing traffic congestion a hundredfold....all to build roads for CARS.

How many people here have the last name Cassar

mela :)

Is it Dom Mintoff at 15.22?

Very nice original artwork that depicts the Maltese heritage and life and unspoilt by progress nowadays. All he shows is how it was before.

Great nostalgia captured for all to see! It would be nice to see many people come forward with their own movies of scenery etc.

Is it just me or did people dress better back then??

Malta should have been like Gibraltar.

Hi there, we've been enjoying seeing this old footage of Malta, (especially as we film 4k walks and have just filmed Malta now), it's good to see it has fared well and become European capital of culture, thank you for taking the time to add this. Perhaps we could subscribe to each other and share more?

Hasra li issa hlief bini u kranijiet m'hemmx. Ħadt gost narah dan il filmat Imma.

THX Nice film here .... GRAZZI HAFFNA !!!!! from Australia

Wonderful, the happiest time of my life....some of my relatives are buried in Malta, may they rest in peace in that emerald island...former resident of Hughes Hallet St, Sliema.

Love the clothes too. Thank you for the video.

I simply cannot describe my nostalgia when I see those Qui si Sana rocks, which I knew inch by inch - could walk my way safely in pitch darkness and that pill box - stincking with the left overs by those who chose to use it as a public convenience ! an unforgettable scene and time of my young life ! Also the style the young ladies dressed in. Thank you for making this clip available.

giueseppi .. how can i contact you ? my email is ilmahzen@gmail.com
