The parade ground of Fort Manoel, where the statue stood from 1736 to 1858 The life-sized statue of Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena was commissioned in 1734 by Felician de Savasse, a French knight of the Order of St John who was seeking the favour of the Grand Master. The statue is attributed to Pietro Paolo Troisi, who might have been appointed as Master of the Mint by Vilhena in 1736 in recognition of his work. The statue was formerly attributed to the Italian sculptor Massimiliano Soldani Benzi, but this is now regarded as unlikely. The statue was cast in bronze by Aloisio Bouchut (also known as Louis Bouchet) at the foundry of the Order in Malta. It was installed in the parade ground (known as the Gran Piazza or Piazza d'Armi) of Fort Manoel in 1736. The cost was 2159 scudi, 5 tarì and 14 grani, but Savasse only paid Bouchut 100 scudi and left the island as he had financial difficulties.
