When browsing a few old books surprised as you encounter information that does not know how to find information and wrong. It was in hand recently the book of Peter Paul Castagna, bush The the history of Malta with its islands printed in 1890, nearly 125 years ago. Contains a number bush of information Malta.Ovvajment the manner in which they jirrakuntaw history (History) with a single and scientific kiex the narration would likely dramamtizzat. In part this book inisbu historical account of the towns and villages of Malta. The awtru starts by giving information on the Mdina and Rabat. Thereupon the pages dedicated to these start the party devoted to the villages with BUVNIEKS city.
Page 134 of the book referred to above begins with the title "The five villages bush with BUVNIEKS Town" and at first did not mention it in Qormi. Waera there Zebbug, Zabbar, The Siggiewi and Zejtun. On page 141 to start the villages and find the Birkirkara, Mosta, Naxxar, Zurrieq, Ghaxaq, Gudja, Qrendi, Kirkop, Tarxien, Lija, Attard, Balzan, bush the Mqabba, Msida, Hamrun, St Julians, Dingli, Sliema, Safi, Luqa, Gharghur, Pieta, Paola, Mellieha, Kalkara, Marsaxlokk , Marsa and Albert Town. Noted the lack of information on the Valletta and the Cottonera cities. In part these pages there are two pages with Arem village, leima Arem some can still be seen in Arem of local councils. Some Arem changed but some remained the same.
Starting named Qormi -Città Pinto. The historian tells us that under any awturinl Curmi name is derived from the word Cherem or Carm which means vine. Who came to be in our minds the home of St. Elizabeth. When Madonna went to visit qaribtiha it went to the village of Ein Kerem which means eye vine. And the name brings to the name and here is in part minds Paola said Vines eye. Meanwhile Castagna gives further clues about our village and describes his weapon: Framework silver moons five red, in red and white half field, the Maltese flag. The five moons on a field of silver are now the coat of the local council of our city. Then let us continue with the weapon of Qormi should add a branch of vines surrounding. When nipparagonaw our weapon with that of Olives Ħaż ta'beltna see that that remained more authentically with the choice of coat of local councils. That Żebbuġija is described in our book as: the coat of Grand Master De Rohan on half red and half white field between two olive branches. In fact with the establishment of local councils coat of Zebbug was only the weapon bush of Grand Master de Rohan and over time increased the dove with olive leaf in mouth on blue against the background. On the motto or as historian described as Bormla, the city Pinto brings Altior ab imo, Nogħla from low, motto that we keep it until today.
Then Casatagna to look at the number of those who were staying the village. It takes istatisktika of the year 1760, exactly 130 years before the publication of his book He tells us that in that year were 3726 people living in the village. Let's see just how were the inhabitants of the four other villages who had the title of City. Olives Ħaż 4000, Zabbar 2287, Siggiewi 1788 and the Żejtun2529 well. From this we see that time Ħaż joqħgodu Olives were more people than were residing in Qormi, but then no other town than mentioned in the book did not lead to the number of our village. bush The most populated villages had about 3,000 inhabitants were Birkirkara and Hamrun. Meanwhile it also gives an account of how many priests. Qormi had 49 priest bush and deacon bush in 1730, furthermore there were also 13 bachelor cleric and three other clerics married. Again Ħaż Olives again exceeds the number of priests Qormi villagers. In 1730 there were 62 priests, 5 deacons and 25 cleric in the parish of St Philip.
After we are given figures of the current inhabitants, ie 1890. Now Qormi rose to 7410 in 3770 male and 3640 female. Now beltna became the most inhabited villages among cities. Ħaż Olives fits 5300, 4900 Zabbar, Siggiewi Zejtun 2970 and 6720. The villages mentioned before now which this people: Birkirkara Hamrun 7320 and 6120. The author tells us that: This is the biggest village, the oldest and most giving people.
We find writing to: In the year 1743 the parish priest GIUS. Vella called a name of peoples to Do Grand Master Emanuel Pinto to earn the title of town to this country. The Grand Master accepted the request and renamed by surname: Città Pinto.
Castagna having bush already gives details of the parish church. Let us know which is dedicated to St. George
