Notes - 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. (MULETTI, History of Saluzzo - CASALIS, Diz. Geogr.).
