Cardenio Botti (1890-1973) was an Italian composer who was in Malta in 1923. He knew Salvatore Zammit-Hammet “very well” to whom Cardenio signed this photograph on the 9th June 1923. The image formed part of Mr. Hammet’s estate and was sold to me in July 2009. The person who acquired it from Mr. Hammet’s family informed me that she is “familiar with Botti’s signature and verified it with one on the Sliema Band Club website”. The signed photograph is below along with a ‘cleaned’ digital version.
