| Abstract: | Canon Giacchino Bertis was born in Senglea on the 5th July 1765. He had started his studies in Malta, but later he proceeded to Italy to study Humanities and Philosophy, at the seminary of Montefiascone, graduating at Sapienza in Rome as "Juris utriusque doctor", returning to Malta soon after to devote his time as cleric - "Kjerku" in the Parish Church of Senglea of Our Lady of Victory - Maria Bambina. During that period, it was the practice that not all clerics were priests - some even were married, and they were called "Kjerku". [excerpt] |
