In reference to the letter titled ‘Is it Floriana or Furjana”, by Joe Busuttil (April 10), I would like to point out that Floriana is named after architect, literary figure and military engineer Pietro Floriani (1585 – 1638) who hailed from Macerata (Italy).

It should therefore be clear that the correct name is Floriana, also according to law.
