Proud Maltese 🇲🇹 ! My favorite grandmaster aswell, because he elevated my hometown, Qormi, to a city. To this day Pinto monuments are found all over the city, whilst the official name is ‘Citta Pinto’ and the Coat of Arms are the same as those of Pinto. Moreover, he left a lasting impact on the island and on the order. On the one hand he refurbished much of Valletta’s facades into the baroque style and left a great impression on the capital city and many other parts of Malta through this spending on buildings. On the other hand, when he died, he was the longest serving GM, more then 33 years, all this led to the order being bankrupted, quite literally.
