Antonio Paulo Francesco Saverio Grazio Briffa, huwa iben it-Tabib Pietro Paolo Briffa u Maria Anna Naudi. Twieled Ħaż-Żabbar fit-22 ta’ Mejju 1854 u tgħammed fl-24 ta’ Mejju. Iżżewweġ lil Rosalia née Magri f’Ħaż-Żabbar nhar is-7 ta’ Settembru 1884 u kellhom sitt itfal.

Billi hu kien l-uniku tifel fil-familja, minn età ġovanili ħa f’idejh in-negozju tal-artijiet tal-familja tant li jinsab imniżżel bħala benestante fiċ-ċertifikat taż-żwieġ tiegħu. L-istorja ta’ Francesco Saverio Briffa hija marbuta mat-twaqqif tal-ewwel banda Żabbarija fejn hu meqjus bħala l-fundatur tagħha flimkien mas-Surmast Ġiuseppe Micallef.

Huwa miet f’Ħaż-Żabbar fil-21 t’Ottubru 1935 fl-età ta’ 81 sena u ndifen fiċ-ċimiterju ta’ Ħaż-Żabbar. L-obitwarju tiegħu fil-gazzetti lokali jiddeskrivih bħala persuna tar-ruħ u eżemplari li sofra marda twila qabel il-mewt tiegħu b’rassenjazzjoni Nisranija.

Huwa kien Fundatur u l-ewwel President bejn 1883 u 1898 waqt reġa serva bħala President tas-Soċjeta bejn 1900 u 1916 waqt li bejn 1920 u 1935 kien maħtur President Onorarju tas-Soċjeta.

F’għeluq l-ewwel ċentinarju mit-twaqqif tas-Soċjeta Filarmonika Maria Mater Gratiae twaħħlet lapida mad-dar fejn kien joqgħod is-Sur Saver, biex tfakkar lil dan il-fundatur filwaqt li eventwalment issemmiet triq għalih ħdejn iż-żona ta’ Bulebel iż-Żgħir f’Ħaż-Żabbar.
