List of marquesses in Italy

Italy, as a single nation state, began only in 1861, after the Piedmont-based Kingdom of Sardinia conquered most of present-day Italy. At that point, titles were recognized to all who held them according to the law of so-called pre-unitarian States. Consequently, the Kingdom of Italy had several different nobility traditions, one for each pre-unitarian State and one for the unified state (that was actually the Piedmontese-Savoyard one). That is why the Italian College of Arms, called Consulta araldica (heraldic council), was organized in 14 "regional" commissions. Common rules concerning all titles were established only in 1926. ^{[Note 1]} That is why a list of Italian marquisates has to be divided into different pre-unitarian lists, plus a unified list for titles granted after 1861. ^{[Note 2]} The latter should be completed with titles granted by the last King of Italy, Humbert II, during his exile and after the proclamation of the republic (1946), until his death in 1983: these concessions base upon the fact that he was not defeated in war and thus remained a king, that is a fons honorum , but this issue is controversial, titles granted by a non-reigning king not being recognized by most noble and royal families in Europe. Only the Sovereign Military Order of Malta and the Corpo della Nobiltà Italiana recognize these titles, while the CILANE treats them as mere titles of courtesy. ^[1] Since 1948, the republican constitution states that nobility titles are not recognized. ^[2] It means that public bodies have not the power to use them towards nobility and tribunals have no power to state about their existence or non-existence, even as an interlocutory matter. The main association that privately protects titles and nobility is the Corpo della Nobiltà Italiana (body of the Italian nobility, also known as CNI).

List of marquesses in the Papal States

In Rome, several families hold a title of Marquis. A couple of them (traditionally four) are called "Marquesses of canopy" (in Italian: marchesi di "baldacchino"), since they hold the privilege of being among those that the Pope could visit and kept in their residence a special throne under a canopy for this aim. ^{[Note 3]} It is a historical privilege (the Pope does not visit privates nowadays) that permits these families to rank among Roman Princes ^{[Note 4]} and Dukes and let their members – as it happens for all families of Princes and Dukes in Italy – to be styled as Don or Donna before their first name. Since it is a customary privilege, some of them are disputed, especially in cases when a family became extinct and it is not clear whether another family has inherited the dignity.

Canopy marquesses ^{[Note 5]}

• House of Patrizi (Patrizi Naro Montoro), beforehand Naro: the Marquess of Mompeo;
• House of Theodoli, beforehand Astalli: ^[3] the Marquess of Saint Vitus and Pisoniano;
• House of Costaguti: the Marquess of Sipicciano; this house became extinct in 1921 with the marriage of the last Marquess Costaguti's only child, a daughter, with Marquess Afan de Rivera, whose descent have added the surname Costaguti: it is disputed weather Marquess Afan de Rivera Costaguti is actually a Canopy Marquess;
• House of Cavalieri: the Marquess of Penna; this house became extinct in 1814: it is disputed if the house Capranica had succeeded to the Cavalieri as Canopy Marquesses;
• Count Gerolamo Riccini: the Marquess of Vallepietra, title granted in 1842 explicitly together with honours of canopy but rapidly extinct; ^[4]
• House of Serlupi (Serlupi Crescenzi), beforehand Crescenzi: ^{[3] [5]} Marquess;
• House of Sacchetti: Marquess of Castelromano (Letters patent 1933)

Other marquesses in Rome

Other marquesses include some distinguished families and also many of the Roman princes, who have among their many titles some of Marquess. The latter are non-included in the list hereafter; on the other hand, the list is incomplete also as concerns houses whose main title is that of Marquess.

List of marquesses in Piedmont

Present Piedmont was called the principality of Piedmont and in its territory lie the former sovereign Marquisates of Montferrat (later Dukedom) and Saluzzo. Since it has been ruled by the Duke of Savoy whose sovereign title was that of Duke, the title of Marquis is quite rare and reveals a relevant rank. Hereafter some of the houses holding a title of marquis are listed, in alphabetical order, and the relevant title is indicated with the form of succession. The list is incomplete.

• Asinari: the Marquess of San Marzano (the eldest male);
• Birago de Candia e Borgaro: since 1680, Marquess of Candia (all males). ^[6]
• del Carretto (Lords of Ponti and Sessame): Marquess (all males);
• Cordero (known as Montezemolo): the Marquess of Montezemolo (the eldest male);

List of marquesses in Sardinia

The following section contains the list of all Marquessates that have been existing or have existed in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Titles were created through letters patent by the King of Sardinia, who was also King of Aragon since 1326 (actual creation of the Kingdom of Sardinia) to 1500, King of Spain and of Aragon since 1500 to 1713, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire since 1519 to 1556 and since 1713 to 1720 and Duke of Savoy since 1720 to 1847. The autonomous Kingdom of Sardinia ceased in 1847, when its Parliament asked the King – and obtained – for the unification (Italian: perfetta fusione ) with the other States belonging to him, namely the Dukedom of Savoy, the Principality of Piedmont, the County of Nice and the Dukedom of Genoa. Titles granted after 1847 by the kings of Sardinia, who became also Kings of Italy since 1861, are not listed here. Feudalism ceased in the years 1838–1840, when fiefs were redeemed by the Crown, i.e. bought. Afterwards, titles continued to be recognized as honours, and nothing changed to this regard after the unification of Italy. Since the establishment of the Italian Republic in 1946, titles are not officially recognized anymore and they exist as traditional and historical remains. The main associations that privately protect titles and nobility are the Corpo della Nobiltà Italiana (body of the Italian nobility, also known as CNI) and the Corpo della Nobiltà Sarda (body of the Sardinian nobility).

In 14th and 15th centuries, no titles were granted, but only fief possession. Lords of fiefs were called (in Catalan) Barons or Señors, i.e. lords (normally – but not always – the distinction depended on the extent of the power granted with the fief: Barons had the merum and mixtum imperium, meaning civil and criminal jurisdiction, while Lords only the mixtum imperium, civil jurisdiction) without these terms referring to specific titles but indicating just their quality of fief owners. Progressively, as a mark of distinction, a couple of titles of Viscount were granted: the Kings of Aragon were primarily Counts of Barcelona, so the usual title they had granted in Catalonia had been the one below their own rank. Chiefly in the 16th century, most important feudal lords began to receive titles of Counts, in order to emphasize their role. Only since the end of the century titles of Marquess (Marquis) were granted, as a result of an inflation of titles. Titles of Dukes were as rare as only one was granted before the Savoy rule. A few exception to this trend have to be regarded as recognition of quasi-sovereign status: the rulers of Arborea had in different times the titles of Judex Arboreae, ^{[Note 7]} Count of Goceano, ^{[Note 8]} Count of Monteleone ^{[Note 9]} and Marquis of Oristano, ^[7] while the foremost house of Carroz, admirals and viceroys, had the title of Count of Quirra. ^{[Note 10] [8]}

Since the rank of marquis was theoretically the highest one, marquesses were addressed as "illustrious" by anyone and as "cousin" by the monarch, a concept similar to peerage. ^{[Note 11]}

Titles were granted either according to the Italian or the Catalan tradition (Latin respectively iuxta morem Italiae and iuxta morem Cathaluniae), meaning that the succession was only by male primogeniture or also by females if the holder of the title had no sons. Succession by females was abolished in 1926, meaning that if the holder has no sons, the title passes to his younger brother, if any (as the normal succession for British titles today).

Note on language. The ordinary use in Sardinia is that proper names be translated according to the language of the document: that is why name of titles has been translated to English if the case be. ^{[Note 35]} For name of people, we adopted the actual most used language at the time: Catalan until the 16th century included, Spanish for the 17th and 18th centuries and later for Spanish subjects, and Italian for the 19th century for Sardinian subjects.

List of marquesses in Lombardy

Lombardy has probably been Italian land with most encountering of Nobility traditions. Consequently, Lombard Nobility has all Italian ranks, including Patricians of the most important cities. Just a few main existing houses being styled as Marquesses are listed hereafter in alphabetical order, indicating the house main title if other and – the case be – the city that houses are Patricians of. The list is most incomplete.

• Borromeo (Borromeo Arese, 1st line, Princes of Angera): Marquess of Angera, Patrician of Milan;
• Borromeo (Borromeo d'Adda, 2nd line): Marquess of Pandino, Patrician of Milan;
• Brivio (Brivio Sforza): Marquess of Santa Maria in Prato, Marquess, Patrician of Milan;
• Casati (Casati Stampa): Marquess of Casatenovo, Patrician of Milan;
• Gallarati Scotti (Princes of Molfetta): Marquess of Cerano, Patrician of Milan;
• Stampa: Marquess of Soncino, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, Patrician of Milan;
• Terzi (Lords of Sant'Agata): Marquess, Noble of Bergamo;
• Visconti di Modrone (Dukes): Marquess of Vimodrone, Patrician of Milan.

List of marquesses in Liguria

Genoa was ruled as an aristocrat republic until the Napoleonic age, extending its dominion to the whole Liguria and some areas of present Piedmont; after the restoration it became part of the Piedmont-led Kingdom of Sardinia. As all Nobles could be elected to a government office, all were in principle equal; they had the title of Patrician of Genoa, indicated by p.g. after the name and surname, while members of noble families outside the capital had the title of Nobleman or Noblewoman. No other title was specific of the Republic, but several families got titles from other rulers. After the fall of the republic, a consideration arouse: since the head of the State was the Doge , i.e. a Duke, Patrician of Genoa had to be considered as just below, i.e. Marquesses: consequently several head of families pledged for such an acknowledgment by the Consulta araldica and the Corpo della Nobiltà Italiana and are styled as Marquesses today; this automatic acknowledgment has been questioned at the end of 20th century and is no more realized by the C.N.I., those acknowledgments already done remaining valid.

Houses whose eldest male bear the title of Marquess before his name (incomplete list):

• Balbi;
• Cambiaso;
• Cattaneo Adorno;
• Chiavari;
• Curlo;
• De Ferrari (second and third line);
• Doria (various lines);
• Durazzo;
• Giustiniani;
• Gropallo;
• Imperiale and Imperiali;
• Invrea;
• Lomellini (Lomellini Tabarca);
• Negrotto Cambiaso;
• Pallavicini and Pallavicino;
• Pinelli (Pinelli Gentile).

Other titles:

• Marquess of Pontinvrea: house of Durazzo;
• Marquess of Sforzesca: house of Gropallo.

List of marquesses in the so-called "Venices"

Venice has been an independent aristocratic republic since the 8th century until 1797. Since the power was shared among noble houses and every nobleman could be elected (by vote or by ballot) to the most important offices, all noble houses were in principle equal: every member of the aristocracy had the only title of nobiluomo (nobleman) or nobildonna (noblewoman), although some of the Venetian houses are actually the oldest aristocracy in the world, since they can track their ancestors back to the beginning of the Republic. Venice (usually called the Serenissima Republica) was a naval power and thus the wealth of Venetians did not depend on the land but on trades. Also other cities and towns in Venice inland, although subject to Venice, were ruled by noble councils, whose members were nobles by the right to participate to council: the Venetian region is the land of civic nobility. For these reasons, nobility titles other than Nobil Homo/Nobil Donna (usually indicated as N.H. and N.D.), Patrician of Venice (or Venetian Patrician) and Nobleman/Noblewoman of a certain city or town are the only real Venetian titles. After the fall of the republic, under Habsburgs rule, and since 1866 under Italian rule, many Venetian houses got traditional titles, most of them count, that is usually for all family members or at least for all males and usually with no territorial indication. The following list of titles of Marquesses is just the list of families living in the Venetian territories who presently bear such a title, without these title being "Venetian" titles. It is an extract of titles recorded by the three Nobility associations whose competence is the former Venetian territory and that are inspired by the regional commissions of the Consulta araldica : the Venetian one for present Italian region Veneto and provinces of Udine and Pordenone of present-day Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia (that is proper Friuli), the Trento one for present Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol (although its competence for noble houses from Alto Adige or South Tyrol, that is the German-speaking province of Bolzano, remains doubtful: are they Italian or Austrian nobles?), and the one for Venezia Giulia, Istria e Dalmazia for present provinces of Trieste and Gorizia (Venezia Giulia or Julian March, part of present administrative region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia) and families coming from present Slovenian and Croatian territories of Istria and Dalmatia. Only flourishing families are recorded ^[68] and they appear in alphabetical order, the particle "de" not being considered to this aim unless it is written with a capital letter. ^{[Note 36]}

List of marquesses in Modena and Reggio

The Duchy of Modena and Reggio was an independent State from 1598 (before it depended upon Ferrara, that was the main see of the ruling family) until the unification of Italy in 1859, under the rule of the Este until the Napoleonic era and after the Restoration, since 1814, under the Habsburg-Este who had inherited it. The aristocracy of the Duchy includes many families whose members are Patricians of Modena, Patricians of Reggio, Noble of Mirandola, Noble of Carpi, Noble of Finale or Noble of Correggio; several of them, moreover, have the title of Count or Marquis; some had foreign titles.

The Kingdom of Naples – united, after the Napoleonic age, to the Kingdom of Sicily thus forming an accentrate Kingdom of the Two Sicilies – was the largest and most demographically and culturally developed of the Italian states. Nobles were many, powerful and with many titles: it was one of the few states that used the title of Prince (Principe) as a title of nobility, being why in the mostly incomplete list below Marquessates are divided according to the house and line to which they belong, identifying the line with its main title. Succession is by eldest male.

List of marquesses in Sicily

The Kingdom of Sicily was founded in 1282 and ended in 1816 when it was succeeded by the unified Kingdom of Two Sicilies (and since 1859 by the even more unified Kingdom of Italy). Sicilian Nobility, during these centuries, got much power and many titles, up to that of Prince. Only a few existing titles of Marquess are listed hereafter, in alphabetical order of the houses bearing them, indicating also the line and their main title. The list is thus mostly incomplete.

Notes

1. Through the Royal Decree N. 1489 dated 16 August 1926 which contains the statute of the successions to nobility titles (published in the Official Journal on 7 September 1926, N. 208).
2. Titles granted by the King of Italy are actually included in the lists of each Nobility region hereafter, with the exception of Sardinia (for the latter, however, no news about titles of Marquis granted after 1861 is known).
3. The throne is kept with its front towards the wall and its back onwards, meaning that nobody can sit in it but the Pope.
4. In Rome, Prince is the upper grade of nobility titles, since there are not Princes of blood royal.
5. The canopy privilege pertains also to the house of Counts Soderini.
6. House Mori Ubaldini are from Tuscany, Patricians both of Florence and of Siena; this line inherited the title of Marquess of Marmora from the Piedmontese house Ferrero and lives in Piedmont.
7. Hugo II of Bas in 1322.
8. Marian IV of Bas in 1339.
9. Brancaleone Doria in 1383.
10. Berenguer Carroz in 1363: see below for the upgrading of this fief in Marquessate.
11. When since 1793 the stamento militare (a kind of house of lords of the Sardinian parliament) met to face the revolutionary Frenchmen (and they were actually successful: Sardinia remained the only European land not invaded by Napoleon, together with Great Britain, Ireland, Sicily and Russia) and had a correspondence with the crown, they got quite upset with a king's reply not respecting that tradition in addressing the marquis of Laconi, then the chairman of the house, until the secretary (i.e. the minister for interiors) explained that the marquis had not been addressed by his majesty as "illustrious cousin" due to a mere copyist's mistake. The letters are now published together with the parliamentary minutes in Carta, Luciano, ed. (2000) [1793]. Acta Curiarum Regni Sardiniae – L'attività degli stamenti nella "Sarda rivoluzione"[The Sardinia parliament acts – The activity of the houses in the "Sardinian revolution"] (in Italian). Vol. 24-I. Cagliari: Consiglio regionale della Sardegna (Sardinia Regional Council. pp. 340, 380, 416 and 649.
12. Who was actually Charles Albert at the time.
13. The title takes name from the village of Mores in Northern Sardinia and is spellt Mores in Catalan, Spanish, Sardinian, Italian and Latin; when the main branch of the family moved to France, the title started to be spellt Morès to roughly indicate the right pronunciation to French-speakers and was widely widespread by the famous Antoine Manca de Vallombrosa
14. The diploma has been issued in 1651 but the ancientcy of the title is 1645, since the decision was in that year but the diploma could be issued only in 1651 due to a pending cause. This fact is referred to by Origen, D. Scano say 1649 and F. Floris 1643. The original diploma, kept in the archive Amat di San Filippo in Cagliari with accession code TPP/30, fully confirms Origen.
15. Due to a transaction between the crown and the marchioness of Albis in her own right, in 1808 the fief was abolished and incorporated to the crown possessions, while the marchioness and her descendants kept the title and the connected rank, together with other fiefs. See F. Floris, page 532.
16. Origen, Elenco and F. Floris. D. Scano says Francisco, who however was Juan Bautista's father who had previously obtained the title of count of Villanova del Rio.
17. In the territory of Alghero.
18. See Marquis of Morès.
19. The fief consisted in the castle of the Guard and the unpopulated surrounding territories in Sulcis. The Marquis never succeeded in populating them, but the fief is important because it is the first one granted to this merchant family rapidly growing in importance, until they obtained the title of Duke of San Pietro in 1737. In 1812 they got extinguished and the fiefs were incorporated to the crown possession.
20. Although the Isola Rossa ("the Red Island") itself had been acquired by the crown: see Vacca Odone
21. The eldest of Del Alcazar house does not use that title.
22. The first grant has been by King Charles VI to Francisco Pilo-Boyl in 1717 (1714 according to F. Floris), during the War of the Spanish Succession; after the loss of the throne by the Habsburgs, the fief was contested and a trial began, ended by a confirmation of the title by King Charles Emanuel III (of the new ruler dynasty, the House of Savoy) to Pedro Pilo Boyl in 1757.
23. According to F. Floris (p. 501), Francisco Solinas bought the fief for his nephew or grandson Juan Maria, who obtained the title of marquis.
24. Or Tommaso (F. Floris).
25. It had been inherited by Giuseppe Gnecco, but got extinct with his son Luigi, who had no sons at a time when female succession was not allowed anymore.
26. E. Vacca Odone calls her by mistakes Giovanni, as if she were a male.
27. It had been inherited by Giuseppe Gnecco, but got extinct with his son Luigi, who had no sons at a time when female succession was not allowed anymore.
28. Also called Palici (that is the present form of the family's surname, although they are usually called "di Suni" (see N. 47).
29. A grandson of the latter.
30. Together with the titles of Princess of Anglona, Duchess of Montacuto and Countess of Osilo, the title of princess of Anglona being the only princely title ever attributed in the kingdom of Sardinia.
31. Having the last Marquis of Manca, another Emanuele Delitala, died 8 March 2011. See the genealogical tree. The news of the last Marquess's death is in the Sardinian Nobility Association website, by entering and clicking on "L'associazione araldica" on the left: in the last-but-one section, "Aggiornamenti agli alberi genealogici delle famiglie nobili sarde" (updates to Sardinian noble families genealogical trees), in order by date.
32. The latter's son.
33. Also called Stefania. D. Scano calls her Stefanino, as if it were a male.
34. D. Scano calls him Gaetano Marazza Guirisi (the double surname, the father's and the mother's ones, being a common usage in Sardinia until the 20th century such as it is still now in Spain), but the form of the first surname is probably due to a typographic mistake.
35. In general terms, the names have been translated if referring to persons or churches or concepts (especially for saints), e.g. San Felipe, and left in the original or present most used form if they are names of villages (except when there is an English form for the name of the village: but this does not actually happen), e.g. San Sperate in Italian or Siete Fuentes in Spanish.
36. Because in that case it is not a particle but part of the name.
37. The list of all noble houses of the Duchy has been edited by the local association of the nobility, part of the C.N.I., together with the association of the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza (see sources).

27. Considered extinct by D. Scano and Elenco, but as F. Floris says it was actually recognized to the Marquis of Villaclara due to the transaction made in 1735 by the three pretenders: the said Marquis of Villaclara, the Marquis of Albis and the Marquis of the Guard; according to this act the fief was divided in three parts and each pretender got one (the Marquis of Albis got the Barony of Montiferru and the Marquis of the Guard the County of Cuglieri). Origen confirms this inheritance, stating that none of the holder got the diploma: probably the fact that the first Marquis did not live enough, the heir being Donna Francisca Zatrillas, who lost the fief due to the Camarassa affair, and the subsequent trial lasted decades also due to the War of the Spanish Succession; and when the pretenders solved the question through the said transaction they all already had other titles and avoided getting the diploma.
