Gorg Gauci : the talented craftsman and carpenter from Gozo

Abstract

Nicknames still play an important role in our islands especially when one is trying to make a find-out about a particular person. Gozo, being the smaller island of the archipelago, with a community where people know each other well, nicknames are still commonly used. Ġorġ Gauci, the renowned craftsman whose name is attached to the parish Basilica of St George in Victoria, was and still is referred to now that he has passed away, as Ġorġ ta’ Frallillu.
