Abstract: Nel contributo viene approfondita la figura e l’attività a Malta dell’ingegnere militare francese Médéric Blondel, fratello del più noto François, al servizio del Gran Maestro Gregorio Carafa alla fine del Seicento. A lui si deve, in particolare, il potenziamento delle fortificazioni dell’arcipelago con il determinante aiuto di Carlos de Grunenbergh, ma è soprattutto con le fabbriche civili e religiose che egli fu in grado di offrire una nuova linfa all’architettura locale.
The contribution delves into the figure and activity in Malta of the French military eingineer Médéric Blondel, brother of the better-known François, in the service of ‘Grand Master’ Gregorio Carafa in the late seventeenth century. To him we owe, in particular, the strengthening of the archipelago's fortifications with the decisive contribution of Carlos de Grunenbergh, but it is above all with the civil and religious buildings that he was able to offer a new lease of life to local architecture.
