Francesco Buonamici (architect)

Francesco Buonamici (1596–1677) was an Italian Baroque architect, painter and engraver who was active in Lucca, Malta, Sicily and Rome during the 17th century.

[2] Buonamici was also an engraver, and he produced the title page of Della Descrittione di Malta by Giovanni Francesco Abela in 1647.

[2] While he was living in Malta, he occasionally worked in nearby Sicily, and he designed or made alterations to various buildings in Syracuse, Palermo, Messina and Trapani.

[1] He was involved in the internal remodelling of Church of San Romano which was carried out between 1661 and 1666, although his exact role is unclear.

[2] It is sometimes believed that Buonamici was the father of Giovan Francesco Bonamico, who was born in Malta in 1639, but no documentary evidence supports this.
