Beloved Carnival King Pawlu L-Pampalun Passes Away
Local
Pawlu Curmi, better known locally as il-Pampalun, considered the father of Maltese carnival, has sadly passed away on his 92nd birthday.
The carnival legend’s death came as a shock to many, with people flocking to social media to recount their wholesome memories with the jubilant figure.
European President Roberta Metsola too shared a photo of herself with Pawlu, pointing out how he made thousands of children, men and women, Maltese and tourist, happy.
‘The king of carnival. Always with a smile, always jubilant. Always on the front, on the carnival floats, dancing and singing’.
Rest in Peace Pawlu. Carnival will never be the same without you.
