The Committee of Privileges of the Maltese nobility is a private club, and does not have special powers to award nobility titles !.Though the present descendants still carry the Maltese title of de Budaq and is referred as much.

Also there is nothing historically documented with the Italian origin for de Piro family, "The family hails originally from Como where the ruins of the Castel Grumello de Piro owned by Corrado de Piro in the fourteenth century, can be seen.[2] Cosimo de Piro left Rhodes in the general exodus of the Knights of St John and settled in Malta". All is known that Cosimo de Piro was the personal slave of Albanian origin to the Grand Master, whom later gave him manumesso (freedom), and a position of Captain of Fort St Angelo for his loyalty.
