Was Sen. Carlo Sforza (1872-1952) a descendant of Sforza Family? Does someone know if he really was a Count or not (I read that he wasn't it, but more other sources report he was a count)?
Oh well... Rome is as good as Milan ... I assumed that the Sforzas lived in Milan since they used to rule it. I have read a couple of books about the Sforza family and the Medici family. The both Houses are truly fascinating. Are there any descendants of the Medicis?
I remember him, and "Wild west"...Of which branch of the Family is a descendant?
As you can see nobody was born and lives in Lamezia, he could be a branch not recognised of the family or a homonymous, who plays the game of descendent in the media circus of the television...
Thanks for making things clear: there's plenty of people that claims to have a noble title, only because they bear a particular surname. Actually Medici is a very common family name all over Emilia Romagna and Tuscany.
I know quite a few of them...
Yes, when I studied in Modena, there where a family Medici-Caula with the title of noble, but nothing to do with Tuscany...
What's exactly this "Almanach of Gotha"? one of the many a website about fake nobility? it can not be the real booklet...
Actually it's a website called "Almanach de Gotha", but I can't tell if it's an official website...
That's why I asked. I can't imagine a count of Modena running a bakery, which means getting up very early in the morning...
I've visited this site...Who is His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Karl Friedrich of Germany, Duke of Swabia, Duke of Saxe-Altenburg, Prince of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen-Rudolstadt (Prince of The Holy Roman Empire)??? I've never heard anithing about him!!!
If we had a King in Italy, Pavarotti would have received a title, for sure.
Title were used also as "prize" for a person, who made great his country through the art.
But as we do not have a Monarchy nobody has given him titles of nobility!
In the Uk the Queen granted the title of Life Peer to famous Architects and other people...
