Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei wāhanga - I whakamātau a Carmelo Borg Pisani ki te tomo ki Malta i te wā o te pakanga (Operation Herkules
), engari i hopukina, i whakawakia hei kaitoro whakapae i te marama o Noema 1942. I whakawhiwhia ia ki te Tohu Koura mo te Toa Toa, te tohu hoia Itari teitei rawa atu, na Kingi Victor Emmanuel III i etahi ra i muri i tona matenga. Kua tonoa e tōna whānau me te kāwanatanga o Itari kia tangohia tōna tinana, kia tanumia ki waho o te marae o te whare herehere, kāore anō kia whakaaetia. I karanga a Benito Mussolini ki a ia he "Martyr Maltese" a i hangaia i roto i tana honore i Liguria te "Battaglione Borg Pisani" i te marama o Noema 1943, i whawhai ai etahi atu irredentists Maltese.
