This lively street scene outside Bellusa Cafe in Victoria, showcases a bustling moment from the past. A man inside reads a newspaper, adding to the everyday charm of the setting. To the right, a truck loaded with wooden crates is being unloaded, with men actively engaged in transporting goods. The street is lined with colourful traditional Maltese balconies, laundry hanging from railings, and a mix of people, some in work attire and others observing the scene. The image offers a nostalgic glimpse into Gozo’s mid-20th-century market life, where horses and carts were still a common means of transport, blending tradition with evolving commerce.
