Gio Maria was born and lived under British rule, in the rural neighbouring Maltese localities of Źebbug and Attard.

Seeing Malta transition from a possession of the Knights of St John, to being under Napoleon, to being a British colony must have been impressive. Vincenzo lived through all this.
He is one of my maternal 4 x great-grandfathers.
