* Gio Francesco D'Amico Castelletti Fiott Farrugia Inguanez, (died 1790, “15th" (recte: 2nd) Baron of Djar-il-Bniet and Buqana, married to Marchesa Asteria Testaferrata , M. Ill & Noble with issue. (N.B Asteria like other descendants of the Testaferrata de Robertis family, claimed the titles of "Marchesa di San Vincenzo Ferreri", "Marchesa Testaferrata" and "Hereditary Knight of the Holy Roman Empire". See: agreement between Daniele Testaferrata in his own name and on behalf of his brother Pandolfo, and of his sister Asteria, wife of the Barone Giovanni Francesco Damico Inguanez, and Mario Testaferrata, son of Gilberto, as procurator of his father dated 10th September 1772. The deed is described in http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/testaferrata2.html. Thus, Asteria, a daughter, and her descendants were admitted to bear all the titles belonging to the Testaferrata de Robertis family. This agreement was regarded as legally null and void by the Royal Commissioners of 1878 because they held that they “cannot assume, that titles can be lawfully explained, construed, or extended by private agreements”)
