Master carpenter Joe Mizzi scrutinises the details of a solid mahogany throne, which will be used by Pope John Paul II during his May visit to Malta, in his workshop "Queen Anne Furniture" in Msida, just outside Valletta, on 2 April, 2001. Once he finishes his part of the job, the throne, complete with carved arms and legs, will be French polished, and the back, the seat, and sides upholstered in white silk. The Pope will visit Malta on 8 and 9 May as part of his pilgrimage following the footsteps of St Paul.
