Antonio lived in Valletta all of his life, which is logical since this the capital was the main source of employment in the 19th century.

He is one of my paternal 4 x great-grandfathers.

Since he died at the age of 76 in 1888¹ he was born in either 1811 or 1812, in Valletta, Malta².

He was the son of Alessandro³ and Margarita née Callus⁴.

Family

On Sunday 10th January 1836⁵, he married Anna nèe Cassar⁶. They married in the Basilica of Our Lady of Safe Haven in Valletta⁷.

Together they had at least one son⁸:

• Giuseppe

Notable events

Residence

He was born in Valletta and, by all accounts, lived there all his life⁹.

His last known address was 100 St. Ursula street, Valletta, Malta¹⁰.

Occupation

The only record I have is his act of death which lists him as being a Commerciante which translates to “Merchant” or “Commercial trader.” I have no indication about what he dealt in or what this would have meant.

Death

He outlived his wife and died a widower¹¹.

He died on Thursday 29 December 1887¹², at home in Valletta, Malta¹³. His cause of death is recorded as Vecchiaja, which translates to “Old age”. His family buried him at the Maria Addolorata cemetery in Marsa, Malta.
