Its People, Inscriptions and History Abstract: Żebbuġ of Gozo. Its People, Inscriptions and History is a monumental work that covers the history of the village of Żebbuġ in the northwest of Gozo from the pre-historic era to the present day and age. It is different from the other works by classical scholar Professor Horatio C. R. Vella; this time we have in our hands a publication that is the result of a love-affair, a love-affair that began about a decade ago when the author and his family bought a flat at the end of Għajn Mhelhel Street, the street that leads to Xwejni, Qbajjar and Marsalforn.

It was during this period that the social, political and religious life of the island flourished to some extent and Gozo attracted the national news on a more frequent, not to say, regular basis. Various events took place during the last decades of the century; in 1864 Gozo became an autonomous diocese. Then, in 1887, Queen Victoria bestowed the status of ‘city’ to the ancient town of Rabat and it began to bear her name. In the 1860’s the first musical societies began to take form and in 1881, two musical bands in Victoria were formally baptised.
