Gustavo R. Vincenti

Gustavo Romeo Vincenti (26 August 1888 – 25 April 1974)[1][2] was a Maltese architect and developer.

[3] His early works include some terraced houses in Sliema, many of which still exist.

[3] Other buildings include the Italian embassy, an apartment block and some houses in the vicinity of the King George V Gardens in Floriana.

Some of his best creations are on Dingli Street in an Italian Liberty style with floral frieze designs, such as the Art Deco double-fronted two-storey townhouse ‘Assisi’ with columned and fanlight entrance together with wooden balcony flanked by simply designed balcony railings.

Acrooss [sic] the road stands a row of distinctly Art Deco design which is immediately recognizable as being Vincenti, who engaged a geometrically pure and abstract form of ornamentation.
