The Order of St. John had been trying to build an aqueduct to supply their capital city Valletta since 1596. In early 1612, engineer Natale Tomasucci left the island after being unable to solve the problem of how water would flow at Attard. In July of that year, Bontadini took over the project,[2] possibly on the recommendation of Inquisitor Evangelista Carbonesi, who was also from Bologna.[3] Bontadini adopted the idea of Giovanni Attard and other capomastri to construct arches along depressions in the ground, and run the aqueduct through pipes in the arches. His most significant contribution to the project was the idea to use pozzolana to make the pipes waterproof. The aqueduct was completed three years later, being inaugurated on 21 April 1615.[2][4] Bontadini's role in constructing the aqueduct was commemorated by Grand Master Alof de Wignacourt by several inscriptions on fountains and other parts of the aqueduct. The inscriptions usually went along the lines of: {{Quote|BONTADINO DE BONTADINIS, BONON AQUÆ DUCTORE MDCXV. (meaning Bontadino de Bontadini from Bologna is he who delivered the waters 1615.) According to historian Giovanni Bonello, Bontadini was the first architect to introduce the Baroque style in Malta, having designed the Wignacourt Arch and various fountains and other decorative elements within the aqueduct.[5] In 1620, Bontadini was murdered in Malta by Ferrante Marangio, an assassin who had been hired by three knights of the Order. The reason behind the assassination is not known.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Masini|first1=Antonio|title=Bologna Perlustrata, Volume 1|date=1666|publisher=Per l'erede di Vittorio Benacci|location=Bologna|page=640|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0-Q_AAAAcAAJ&pg=PA640#v=onepage&q&f=false|language=Italian}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bontadini, Bontadino}}{{Malta-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite news|title=A Tour of the aqueduct|url=http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2006-04-09/news/a-tour-of-the-aqueduct-89789/|work=The Malta Independent|date=9 April 2006|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160625151221/http://www.independent.com.mt/articles/2006-04-09/news/a-tour-of-the-aqueduct-89789/|archivedate=25 June 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Floriana|url=http://romeartlover.tripod.com/Malta8.html|website=romeartlover.tripod.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160401101056/http://romeartlover.tripod.com/Malta8.html|archivedate=1 April 2016}} 4. ^{{cite book|last1=Micallef|first1=Patricia|editor1-last=Buttigieg|editor1-first=Emanuel|editor2-last=Phillips|editor2-first=Simon|title=Islands and Military Orders, c.1291–c.1798|date=2016|publisher=Routledge|isbn=9781317111962|page=180|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AUcfDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT180&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false|chapter=The Vision of the Island of Malta and its Role in the Transformation of the Order's Mission as Seen by the Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Traveller}} 5. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Bonello|first1=Giovanni|authorlink1=Giovanni Bonello|title=Histories of Malta – Convictions and Conjectures|date=2003|publisher=Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti|location=Malta|isbn=9789993210276|pages=44–61|url=https://books.google.com/books/about/Histories_of_Malta.html?id=SB4jAQAAIAAJ|chapter=Bontadino de Bontadini – The Murder of the First Baroque Architect in Malta}} 13 : Year of birth missing|1620 deaths|Architects from Bologna|Italian civil engineers|Hydraulic engineers|17th-century engineers|17th-century Italian architects|Baroque architects|17th-century Italian mathematicians|Italian woodcarvers|Assassinated Italian people|Italian people murdered abroad|People murdered in Malta |
