<\/figure>\n\n\n\nParti mix-xog\u0127ol ta\u2019 Cali` m\u2019g\u0127adux je\u017cisti. Il-pittura tal-koppla kienet inbidlet fis-seklu g\u0127oxrin b\u2019dik tal-pittur Taljan Virginio Monti, li hu l-aktar mag\u0127ruf fostna g\u0127ax-xog\u0127ol tieg\u0127u estensiv fil-Ba\u017cilka ta\u2019 Santa Liena f\u2019Birkirkara. Ta\u2019 Monti wkoll f\u2019Bormla huma l-kwadri tas-saqaf tal-kor u tal-kappelluni. Ta\u2019 min jg\u0127id li l-ori\u0121inal ta\u2019 Cali` fis-saqaf tal-kappellun ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp illum qieg\u0127ed fl-Awla Kapitulari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probabbilment l-aktar kwadru qadim fil-knisja kif narawha llum hu dak tal-Pentekoste fil-kappellun ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp. Imur lura g\u0127as-seklu XVII i\u017cda l-awtur tieg\u0127u u anonimu. Mhux mag\u0127rufin ukoll l-awturi rispettivi tal-kwadri ta\u2019 fuq l-altari ta\u2019 San Mikiel u ta\u2019 San Dimitri.
Mill-kumplament tal-pittura hemm bosta artisti ta\u2019 kalibru li huma rappre\u017centati. Fosthom insemmi lil Gian Nikol Buhagiar bil-kwadru tal-Kappella tas-Sagrament, Rokku Buhagiar bil-kwadru ta\u2019 fuq l-altar ta\u2019 San Mark u bl-erba\u2019 kwadri laterali fil-kappelluni, Alessio Erardi, iben Stefano Erardi, li \u0127adem il-kwadru tal-Madonna bil-Bambin u San \u0120wann Battista, u Francesco Zahra li tieg\u0127u huma \u017c-\u017cew\u0121 kwadri laterali tal-Kor, li fl-opinjoni tieg\u0127i huma fost l-aqwa xog\u0127lijiet evokattivi ta\u2019 dan l-artist kbir tas-seklu XVIII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skultura<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ix-xog\u0127lijiet ta\u2019 skultura, l-aktar jirrigwardaw il-vari li saru fi \u017cminijiet differenti biex jin\u0121arru fil-pur\u010bissjonijiet fil-festa ta\u2019qaddis jew qaddisa tag\u0127hom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nibdew bil-vara tal-Kun\u010bizzjoni li l-Bormli\u017ci g\u0127andhom, kif jg\u0127id il-Malti, bokka t\u2019g\u0127ajn biha. Saret kif narawha llum fl-1905, mitt sena ilu, g\u0127and id-ditta Antonio Ghezzi e Figlio ta\u2019 Milan fuq disinn tal-mag\u0127ruf skultur u disinjatur Bormli\u017c Abram Gatt. Biex saret kellha ti\u0121i sagrifikata l-vara ta\u2019 qabel li \u0127afna ja\u0127sbu li kienet saret minn Suor Maria de Domenicis, alljeva ta\u2019 Mattia Preti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sal-\u0121urnata tal-lum g\u0127adni nsaqsi lili nnifsi kif bil-barka ta\u2019 kul\u0127add kienu dde\u010bidew biex issir vara \u0121dida \u2018g\u0127as-spejje\u017c\u2019 ta\u2019 l-o\u0127ra. I\u017cda hawnhekk qed nitkellmu dwar mitt sena ilu meta l-idea ta\u2019 konservazzjoni ta\u2019dak li hu qadim ftit li xejn kienet t\u0127abbel mo\u0127\u0127 dak li jkun. M\u2019hux il-\u0127sieb tieg\u0127i hawnhekk li nqajjem b\u2019xi mod xi polemika anzi, biex ma niftiehemx \u0127a\u017cin, in\u017cid biss li l-fatt jibqa\u2019 li l-vara pre\u017centi hi \u0121ojjell dejjiemi ta\u2019 din il-knisja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ta\u2019 l-istess Abram Gatt hemm il-vara ta\u2019 San \u0120u\u017cepp, xog\u0127ol fl-injam li n\u0127adem fl-1903. Vari o\u0127ra jinkludu dawk ta\u2019 Sant\u2019 Agata, xog\u0127ol ta\u2019 l-1846 minn Pietru Pawl Azzopardi fuq disinn ta\u2019 Giuseppe Hyzler u li tieg\u0127u wkoll hi l-Madonna tar-Ru\u017carju. Azzopardi kien fost l-alljevi ta\u2019 Mariano Gerada li tieg\u0127u naraw il-vara ta\u2019 San Mikiel ma\u0127duma fl-1819 u l-grupp statwarju tal-Mag\u0127mudija ta\u2019 Kristu, ma\u0127dum fl-1814.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Xog\u0127lijiet o\u0127ra ta\u2019 skultura huma l-vara ta\u2019 Sant\u2019 Andrija, xog\u0127ol ta\u2019 l-1844 ta\u2019 Salvu Psaila, l-awtur tal-vara ta\u2019 Santa Liena ta\u2019 Birkirkara, li tinsab konservata fin-ni\u010b\u010ba l-antika tal-Kun\u010bizzjoni \u0127dejn is-Sagristija, u l-famu\u017c Kur\u010bifiss ta\u2019 Kandja, li kien in\u0121ieb mill-g\u017cira ta\u2019 Kandja (illum mag\u0127rufa b\u0127ala Kreta) fl-1669. Fl-opinjoni tieg\u0127i jista\u2019 jkun xog\u0127ol tas-seklu XV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L-istorja marbuta ma\u2019 dan il-Kur\u010bifiss u kif spi\u010b\u010ba fil-knisja ta\u2019 Bormla hi nteressanti i\u017cda hawn mhux se nid\u0127ol fiha min\u0127abba l-ispazju. Bi\u017c\u017cejjed ng\u0127id, i\u017cda, li min\u0127abba d-devozzjoni qawwija li trawmet lejh, kienet inbniet kappella kbira fl-1903 li kienet parzjalment dekorata minn Giuseppe Cali`, biex tkun tista\u2019 tilqa\u2019 l-pellegrini li kienu jmorru minn kull na\u0127a ta\u2019 Malta biex i\u017curuh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan l-a\u0127\u0127ar sar studju fuq l-affresk tal-pittura ta\u2019 Cali` u nstab li din tinsab fi stat \u0127a\u017cin \u0127afna u g\u0127alhekk hemm b\u017conn jinstabu fondi \u0127alli tkun restawrata malajr kemm jista\u2019 jkun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minn din il-kappella tista\u2019 tid\u0127ol g\u0127as-sagristija li dwarha nista\u2019 nikteb xi \u0127a\u0121a fil-qosor g\u0127ax fiha nsibu numru ta\u2019 portraits (il-kelma bil-Malti \u2013 ritratti) ta\u2019 diversi persuna\u0121\u0121i li kellhom x\u2019jaqsmu ma\u2019 l-istorja ta\u2019 dan is-santwarju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fosthom hemm dak tal-Papa Piju VII li kien waqqaf din il-kolle\u0121\u0121jata fis-17 ta\u2019 Lulju 1822, xog\u0127ol ta\u2019 Giuseppe Hyzler; ta\u2019 Dun \u0120u\u017cepp Bezzina li kien l-ewwel ar\u010bipriet, l-Isqof Ferdinandu Mattei li kien ressaq it-talba tal-Bormli\u017ci biex il-knisja ssir kolle\u0121\u0121jata; ta\u2019 l-Ar\u010bipriet Pietro Pace li fi \u017cmienu fl-1905 saret l-Inkurunazzjoni tal-Kwadru titulari, u tal-Kardinal Domenico Ferrata li kien g\u0127amel l-inkurunazzjoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma rridx in\u0127alli barra l-kwadru tal-Madonna tal-Grazzja li qabel kien fuq l-altar, illum imne\u0127\u0127i, fejn illum hemm in-ni\u010b\u010ba tal-Kun\u010bizzjoni. Hemm min jattribwieh g\u0127all-iskola ta\u2019 Antoine Favray, il-pittur Fran\u010bi\u017c li qatta\u2019 l-parti l-kbira ta\u2019 \u0127ajtu f\u2019Malta. Personalment ma naqbilx ma\u2019 din l-attribuzzjoni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fis-sagristija, kif di\u0121a\u2019 semmejt, hemm il-kwadru l-kbir tal-Kun\u010bizzjoni, xog\u0127ol sabi\u0127 ferm tal-pittur Carlu Gimach u li qabel kien il-kwadru titulari i\u017cda li tne\u0127\u0127a fl-1850 biex jitqieg\u0127ed dak ta\u2019 Pietru Pawl Caruana li issa ilu nkurunat mitt sena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marbut ukoll mal-knisja hemm l-Oratorju tal-Kur\u010bifiss fejn hemm xog\u0127lijiet o\u0127ra ta\u2019 Francesco Zahra, erba\u2019 gruppi ta\u2019 statwi tal-\u0121ebel ma\u0127dumin minn Paolo Zahra u Gerolamo Fabri li juru xeni mill-passjoni ta\u2019 Kristu, u fejn ji\u0121u merfug\u0127in matul is-sena l-vari tal-\u0120img\u0127a l-Kbira, xog\u0127lijiet ta\u2019 Karlu Darmanin, Abram Gatt u Pietru Pawl Azzopardi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ma jistax jonqos li nsemmu wkoll il-vara ta\u2019 Kristu Rxoxt, xog\u0127ol fl-injam, li kienet in\u0121iebet minn Napli fl-1741 minn Celestino Sacco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fl-a\u0127\u0127arnett nag\u0127tu \u0127arsa \u0127afifa lejn ix-xog\u0127lijiet tal-fidda. Dawn jinkludu diversi ventartali, b\u2019dak tal-ma\u0121\u0121ur ma\u0127dum mill-ar\u0121entier Roberto Cannataci fuq disinn tal-Professur Nicola Zammit mis-Si\u0121\u0121iewi, li tieg\u0127u wkoll hemm it-tu\u017cell u d-damask tal-festa, u o\u0127rajn disinjati minn Abram Gatt, b\u2019dak ta\u2019 San Mark meqjus b\u0127ala l-isba\u0127 wie\u0127ed; u wie\u0127ed minn Lazzru Pisani, \u0121irandola ma\u0127duma mill-ar\u0121entier Gioacchino Rapinett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n F\u2019din il-knisja nsibu wkoll fided o\u0127ra b\u0127al sferi, kal\u010bijiet, pissidijiet, lampieri, \u010bnieser, buqari, ba\u010biri, missalli u karti tal-glorja.
