Career
From a Spanish-origin noble family in Messina, Centellés officially entered the Order on 10 February 1750. Like his predecessor as lieutenant, Innico Maria Guevara-Suardo, his lieutenancy was marked by the problem of the sovereignty of Malta - on 30 May 1814 the Treaty of Paris between Russia, Britain, France and Prussia gave that sovereignty to Britain. He sent ambassadors again in 1818, to the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, but once more to no avail.
On his death in 1821 Antonio Busca succeeded him as lieutenant of the Order.
