              During the interview, Salvatore Davì focused on his life experiences both in Lampedusa and in Malta. He lived in Lampedusa until 1968. That year he met his future Maltese wife and subsequently relocated to Malta in 1970. During the interview he spoke about the exchange of products between the two Islands. He also described how he adapted to life in Malta and how he managed to integrate with the Maltese. He spoke about Salvatore Gervaso and the Stella di Mare company, two names which are important for the theme 'The Malta-Lampedusa Connection.' His memories about the British, Valletta, Marsaxlokk and the Dom Mintoff administration were positive. However, contraband was a problem.
