| Abstract: | L-istatwa ta’ Santa Katarina ġiet restawrata fuq ordni ta’ Mons. Arċisqof Carmelo Scicluna fl-1880 fil-vista pastorali li saret fiż-Żejtun. Fl-1929 l-istatwa reġgħet ġiet indurata mill-ġdid u x-xogħol beda taħt id-direzzjoni tas-Surmast Caruana u r-restawr kien f’idejn l-iskultur Żejtuni Giuseppe Baldacchino u Antonio Agius. F’dan ir-restawr tneħħew parti sewwa mill-mantell li kellha billi kien goff, u ġiet irranġata ras l-istatwa u mneħħi t-toppu li kellha fuq rasha. L-istatwa ġiet meħudha għand l-induratur Francesco Coleiro fejn ġiet indurata flimkien mal-pedistal. Meta tlesta x-xogħol ta’ l-induratura, l-istatwa inġiebet lura lejn iż-Żejtun mgħobbija fuq karettun miġbud minn bagħal. |
