Antonio Falzon

 * ... that an obscure Maltese architect designed some of the earliest bastion fortifications north of the Alps (example pictured)? Sources: "Until now the name of Antonio Falzon has escaped Maltese researchers." (p. 93), "Falzon’s former life is still shrouded in mystery." (p. 96), "Eminent architecture historians have stated that the 'Fazuni-bastions' behind Nuremberg Castle belong to the oldest – if not the oldest – Italian-style bastions of their kind north of the Alps." (p. 105)
 * ALT1:... that Antonio Falzon is the earliest known notable Maltese architect, but is often erroneously described as being Italian? Sources: "[Falzon] is also the earliest Maltese architect and military engineer of highest reputation known until now." (p. 93), "In the literature of the last hundred years Fazuni alias Falzon nearly always appears as an Italian... In the records of the Nuremberg archives, however, the architect himself clearly refers to himself as being ‘Maltese’" (p. 95–96)
 * ALT2:... that the different spellings of military engineer Antonio Falzon's surname might have led to his obscurity? Source: "These different spellings could explain why this Maltese connection has not been researched and is not known in Malta" (p. 95)

 * Symbol question.svg The article meets all the requirements of creation date, no paraphrasing, hook interest, QPQ, etc. The only concern is that, while the hook facts are in the article and verified in the source, the rules state that each hook fact reference requires a footnote, but the article only has the footnote at the end of the paragraph. Once this is addressed I will give the tick. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:54, 5 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review! :) I just added more references after the sentences concerned, is it OK now? Xwejnusgozo (talk) 14:59, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * It's the "Legacy" section that needs the footnotes. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:40, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
