Malta
Malta is very proud of its Caravaggio connection! He spent over a year there (and a good part of that in prison).

Maltese is “a Semitic language” or “a dialect of Arabic” (depending on the person you ask) but with about half the lexicon from Italian. (Similarly, English is a Germanic language with a lot of French vocabulary.) Maltese is the only Semitic language written in Roman script, and the only one to be an official EU language. Gbejniet tal-bżar seems to mean “goat cheese”, and topless “topless”!
