Amedeo Preziosi was born in 1816 to a noble family in Malta. His father, Giovanni Francesco Preziosi, had high-level functions in the local administration and represented the Maltese people at the negotiations of the Treaty of Amiens in 1802, while his mother, Margareta née Reynaud, was of French origin.[1] Amedeo, the first child of the Preziosi family, was baptised in the Porto Salvo Church in Valletta and given the name Aloysius-Rosarius-Amadeus-Raymundus-Andreas.[2] His younger brother Leandro Preziosi became one of the pioneers of early photography in Malta
