Abstract: On 24 January, eve of the feast of the conversion of St Paul, a precious book was presented to the public in the grand surroundings of the Cathedral of St Paul in Mdina. This book depicts the restoration work carried out by Sante Guido and Giuseppe Mantella on the 15 silver statues known as Apostolato, which were made in Rome by the silversmith Antonio Arrighi between 1739 and 1743 for the altar of the Conventual Church of St John, in Valletta. On the same evening, the newly-restored titular painting entitled 'The Conversion of St Paul' by Mattia Preti was also revealed to the public.
