English: Lace making is one of Malta’s oldest and most-celebrated, most precious traditions, originally associated with nobility. In maltese it called bizzilla. Nowadays even the number of local people skilled in lacemaking has declined, Maltese lace still remains exceptionally popular Maltese lace (Maltese: bizzilla) is a style of bobbin lace made in Malta. It is a guipure style of lace. It is worked as a continuous width on a tall, thin, upright lace pillow. Bigger pieces are made of two or more parts sewn together. The Lace Pillow in Malta is known as Trajbu (pronounced as "try-boo"), while the Bobbins are called Ċombini (pronounced as "chom-beany"); this type of lace making is very popular on the island of Gozo.
