The St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation recently organised a conference on ‘The Physiognomy of Cathedrals: Conservation Strategies’ and invited top European cathedrals to participate. This high-level conference, held between July 1 and 2 at the Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, was held to mark the 20th anniversary of the St John’s Co-Cathedral Foundation. Its aim was to convene conservators, academics and curators from different cathedrals in Europe to showcase conservation projects and create a network for sharing knowledge, good practices and experience. Eighteen case studies of conservation projects carried out at cathedrals in Italy, Malta, the UK, France, Poland and Austria were, in fact, presented.
