Monsignor Ignazio Panzavecchia and the Partito Popolare

Monsignor Ignazio Panzavecchia 

Monsignor Ignazio Panzavecchia was chosen as the representative for the Church in the Government Council in 1891/2. Being a member of the clergy he was against Civil Marriages becoming legal in Malta and this would lead to the setting up of the Partito Popolare in 1895. He was a staunch supporter of the Latin culture in Malta and this was shown in his party which was against any British attempts of Anglicization of the island. Like the Anti-Riformisti he also wanted Malta to have its own Constitutional Rights.
