| 1 | ALOISIA, daughter of Giorgio and Menzia, marquises of Ceva, married Tommaso I, Marquis of Saluzzo, in 1257. Writers of that time remembered Aloisia of Ceva as a woman endowed with high intelligence and rare beauty, and in the early years of her marriage she was beloved by the marquis; but having then given himself to other women, the unhappy Aloisia had to secretly mourn the infidelities of her fickle husband, who had the barbarous courage to keep his concubines at court, and his wife was forced to keep them by his side. Nonetheless, Aloisia was the mother of fourteen children. Together with her husband she founded on 24 Jun 1291 the monastery of Santa Maria Nuova in Revello, where four of her daughters took the monastic habit. This virtuous woman was missed by the living on August 22 before the year 1293, and she was buried in the monastery she founded; despite his infidelities, the Marquis Tommaso loved his wife dearly, and when he died, he ordered that her heart be placed in wife’s tomb, and that the remainder of her body be buried in the monastery of Staffarda.

| 2 | The chronology of the House of Ceva according to Moriondo and others follows. The theologian Giovanni Battista Moriondo in the second part of his work entitled Monumenta Acquensia compiled two genealogical tables of the Marquises of Ceva. The first under the number 6 in col. 805 has for its progenitor Anselmo, first Marquis of Ceva, extending up to the sixth generation, which includes Oddone III, Bonifacio V, Manuele II, and Francesco II. The second under the number VII col. 809 begins with Guglielmo II, third Marquis of Ceva, who flourished in 1197. He left at his death ten sons named Giorgio I, Bonifacio I, Manuele, Benedetto, Leone, Guglielmo III, Oddone, Michele, Pagano and Raimondo. In the fourth generation of this Guglielmo II there were nineteen marquesses at the same time, whose names are: Bonifacio, Oddone, Manfredo, Matteo, Gabriele, Guglielmo, Giorgio, Francesco, Corrado, Antonio, Enrico, Francesco, Baudino, Giacomo, Enrio, Giacomo, Guglielmo, Oberto, and Giovanni. Professor Casalis in his historical dictionary gives a list of the first Marquises of Ceva, with the approximate age of their respective domains in the following manner: Anselmo fourth son of Bonifacio of Savona del Vasto around 1142; Guglielmo I, 1178; Guglielmo II; 1197; Giorgio I, 1219; Giorgio II the Dwarf, 1268; Boniface I, 1324; Cristoforo I, 1386; Ottone I, 1411; and Galeazzo I, 1530. source: Olivero, Giovanni.

| 3 | The progenitor of this genealogy is Bonifacio, Marquis of Saluzzo, of Ceva, of Savona, and of Cravesana 1130. Then comes Anselmo, Marquis of Ceva, 1149. From Anselmo comes Guglielmo, Marquis of Ceva, who married N….. of the House of Vento of Genoa, Lord of Roccabruna, and of Mentone, an illustrious family seated in Marseilles. From Guglielmo was born Giorgio, Marquis of Ceva. From Giorgio came Nano, Marquis of Ceva, who married a Doria. Nano was succeeded by Giorgio, Marquis of Ceva, who married a daughter of Oddone, Marquis of Caretto, and from Giorgio was born Menzia of Ceva, who married Aimone of Savoy, Lord of Villefranche. source: Olivero, Giovanni.
