Note: Gianni was a Neapolitan artist who, after visiting Malta in 1866, settled there with his family in 1868, establishing himself as a successful artist on the island. He was celebrated for his picturesque views of Valetta and colourful harbour scenes, largely for the British market in the country. He was employed by Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh (1844-1900), to paint the ships of the Mediterranean Fleet in Malta, of which Alfred was the Commander-in-Chief.
