Fra Marc'Antonio Zondadari, from Siena, was elected Grand Master of the Knights of Malta in 1720, after the death of Fra Ramon Perellos de Roccaful. Although his reign only lasted until 1722, he was popular with the Maltese. During his reign Carnival traditions were strengthened with the establishment of the Kukkanja.

His body is buried in a magnificent monument by Massimiliano Soldani Benzi in the St. John's Co-Catherdral while his heart was buried in his native Siena. This monument is baroque work of art in bronze and marble which shows the Grand Master reclining.
