Cauchi's

In the aftermath of the war, Emmanuele Cauchi, inspired by the transformation unfolding around him, decided to open a business in the very heart of Mosta – the Pjazza, the vibrant center of local trade. In the late 1940s, he acquired part of a premises on Triq il-Kbira, at the corner with Pjazza Rotunda, and opened his doors for the first time. A respected barber and tailor, Emmanuele quickly built a loyal clientele. He became especially known for his impeccable craftsmanship in producing hundreds of men’s caps, the traditional Maltese Beritta, which was worn widely at the time. His shop thrived for years, becoming a familiar part of the community. When Emmanuele passed away in 1964, his son Joseph, then working in a different profession, kept the shop closed. Despite numerous tempting offers from other businessmen, Joseph recognised the value of the location and patiently waited for the right opportunity to revive the business and involve his own sons.
