Giorgio Pullicino
Maltese painter, architect, and professor of drawing and architecture / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giorgio Pullicino (8 July 1779 – 25 October 1851)[1] was a Maltese painter, architect, and professor of drawing and architecture at the University of Malta. He is known for his harbour views painted in a number of media, and he is also considered to be one of the first neoclassical architects in Malta. He produced designs for a number of buildings, but the only structure which is definitely proven to have been designed by him is a monumental obelisk known as the Spencer Monument. However, several other buildings including the Monument to Sir Alexander Ball are widely attributed to him.
