| Abstract: | Malta and Gozo’s population have always been influenced by movement. People, goods and ideas that sailed on and across the Mediterranean Sea came into contact with the islands and inhabitants - some purposely, other not; some peacefully, others not. It would be mistaken to believe that such maritime traffic was one way. Since prehistory, inhabitants from the Maltese Islands travelled from the islands to explore and settle overseas. More recently, Maltese people also moved and populated other Mediterranean areas that included Gibraltar, Alexandria and Tunis. Beyond Mare Nostrum, the Maltese wandered as far afield as New York and Sydney - some left for good but others were unable to resist the lure of their homeland. |
