Commemorative inscription in Latin and Italian in memory of the soldier Bernardo De Opuo, who in 1551, during one such major Turkish incursion, when all seemed lost, preferred to kill his wife and two daughters rather than see them dragged into slavery like almost all of the island's inhabitants. After that he died fighting the enemy. Translation: "1579. Fortune favours the brave soldier Benardo De Opuo, from Villa Mirados soldier in Gozo". This slab was placed to the facade of the house of Bernardo de Opuo, inside the Citadel of Victoria (Rabat). Gozo Museum of Archaeology. Cittadela of Victoria in Gozo. Malta.
