Gustavo Romeo Vincenti (26 August 1888 – 25 April 1974)^[1]^[2] was a Maltese architect and developer. Born into a wealthy family in Valletta, he was able to purchase land and design and build buildings which he would then sell to clients.^[3] He was interested in architecture from a young age, and he graduated as an architect from the University of Malta in 1911, at the age of 23.^[1]

His early works show inspiration from Art Nouveau, Art Deco and eclecticism, interpreted in an economic but elegant way.^[3] His façades include horizontal and vertical elements which create a geometric and rigid feel to the buildings, while maintaining an element of flow.^[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.^[3] His most significant project was the Vincenti Buildings in Valletta, a large block of apartments constructed in the 1930s occupying an entire city block on the site of the former Forni della Signoria.^[3]

Some of his buildings are more Modernist, showing influences from Le Corbusier.^[3] These include a complex of four houses in Ta' Xbiex built in 1936,^[1] collectively also known as Vincenti Buildings, with each of the houses being named after one of the Four Evangelists.^[3] Modernism is also evident in his personal villa in St Julian's.^[3]
