'''Ġużé Diacono''' was one of Malta's most prolific writers during the twentieth century.

He was born in Valletta on the 24th of November 1912, was educated at [[St Paul's School]] and at the [[Royal University of Malta]], graduating as [[Legal Procurator]] in 1938. In the same year he joined the [[Allied Malta Newspapers Ltd]].

Where he occupied several editorial posts on [[The Times of Malta]] and [[Il-Berqa]]. until he resigned in 1966. He went on to found and edit the weekly paper [[Il-Ħajja]] and served as part-time leacturer in Maltese literature at the [[University of Malta]].

Diacono's literary contributions include drama, short-story writing, translations and literary criticism as in [[Wara Ibsen]] (1972) and [[Il-Fidwa tal-Bdiewa]] of [[Ninu Cremona]]: [[Studju Kritiku]]. His plays include [[Salib Ħaddieħor]], [[L-Għarusa]], [[Ir-Raġel li Kienet Tħobb]] (published together in 1960), [[L-Ewwel Jien!]] (1963), [[Erwieħ Marbuta]] (1965), [[Uġiegħ]] (1966), [[Għaliex?]] (1966), and a number of other one-act plays.

His most famous dramatic work is, however, the television serial [[Il-Madonna taċ-Ċoqqa]] (1979), which was produced by [[Albert Marshall]] for [[TVM]] in 1980 and also adapted for the stage by [[Joe Quattromani]] in the late 1980s. [[John Suda]] adapted this television serial again in 2001 and it won the [[Broadcasting Authority TV Drama Award]] in 2002.

In the field of language Diacono wrote [[Għeltijiet u Barbarizmi fil-Malti]] (1977) and compiled the ''Diżżjunarju'' ''Ingliż-Malti''. Vols. 1-5 (1991-1993), which is an adapted and revised expansion of [[Dun Karm Psaila]]'s dictionary.

In 1993 he collected some of his short stories in one volume entitled [[Dik is-Siġra Mħattba]].
Ġużé Diacono was married to Mary Pace in 1950.
