He was born in 1885 in Valletta to Maria Sofia Folliera de Luna, the daughter of the vice-consul of Naples, and Fortunato Mizzi. Mizzi studied in Gozo Seminary, read law at the University of Rome La Sapienza and the University of Urbino, and studied literature and science at the Royal University of Malta.

He was arrested at his residence on 7 May and court-martialled on charges of sedition in 1917 under the Malta Defense Regulations for writings and statements against the British. He was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment with hard labour, the loss of civil rights, and the withdrawal of the lawyer’s warrant. The sentence was commuted by Governor Methuen to a ‘severe censure’, while his civil rights and warrant were restored following the cessation of hostilities in 1918.

Mizzi founded the Circolo Giovane Malta and was life president of the Societa Dante Alighieri. He was part of the Maltese Political Union coalition, whom he split and formed the Democratic Nationalist Party / Partito Democratico Nazionalista (PDM) to contest the elections for Malta’s first self Government. Later the PDN merged with the Maltese Political Union / Unione Politica Maltese (UPM) to form the Partit Nazzjonalista (PN). He was co-leader of the PN with Sir Ugo P. Mifsud (1926-1942).

On 30 May 1940, he was arrested and deported to Uganda, with another 47 Maltese people, where he remained in close contact with other members of the Partit Nazzjonalista. In 1945, the exiled persons, including Mizzi, were allowed back to Malta, where he re-entered politics and reorganised the PN. At the 1950 elections, Mizzi was appointed Prime Minister but he died three months later on the 20th December.
