| Abstract: | Ħafna aspetti tal-bottega ta' Pietro Paolo Zahra joħorġu mill-istudju tad-dokumenti, ħafna minnhom kuntratti mill-Arkivju Notarili, li jikkummissjonaw xogħlijiet mingħand l-iskultur. Pietro Paolo Zahra twieled l-Isla fis-sena 1685 ġewwa familja li kienet diġà artistikament inklinata, speċjalment lejn l-iskultura. Fil-fatt missier Pietro Paolo, Antonio, kien skalpellin li ħadem f'diversi knejjes Maltin, fosthom dik ta' Ħal Lija. Meta żżewweġ lil Augustina Casanova, Pietro Paolo Zahra għaqqad żewġ familji Sengleani li kienu importanti ħafna għall-iżvilupp tal-iskultura reġjonali tal-Gżejjer Maltin għax il-familja Casanova kienet waħda mill-iktar importanti fejn kellu x' jaqsam xogħol artistiku fil-ġebla Maltija. Pietro Paolo u Augustina baqgħu jgħixu l-Isla fejn kellhom seba' wlied, fosthom Francesco Zahra, wieħed mill-iktar artisti importanti ta' Malta fis-seklu tmintax. |
