| Abstract: | Is-sena 1972, żmien il-Kappillan Dun Ġużepp Schembri, kienet sena mportanti ħafna fl-istorja tal-Ikona tal-Madonna tal-Melllieħa, meqjuma għal tant mijiet ta’ snin fis-Santwarju tagħha. Dik is-sena ġie deċiż li għandhom isiru tentattivi biex terġa’ tinstab, jew aħjar tinkixef, ix-xbieha l-antika tal-Madonna. Kien magħruf li kien hemm xbieha oħra mpenġija taħt, mid-dokument miktub waqt il-Vista Pastorali tal-Isqof Mons Tommaso Gargallo tal-1587. Biex titneħħa t-tpenġija li x’aktarx saret għall ħabta tal-1610, tqabbad ir-restawratur Samuel Buġeja. Minn dakinhar sal-lum għaddew 45 sena u l-Ikona tal Madonna reġa’ kellha bżonn restawr għax kienet bdiet tiddeterjora sewwa. Tqabbdu restawraturi mill-Atelier del Restauro. Din ix xbieha tal-epoka Siculo-Biżantina ġiet klassifikata bħala waħda Hodegetria |
