***The Marquisate of Gorzegno was a fiefdom of one of the branches of the Del Carretto family (known as Del Carretto di Gorzegno). It was formed in the 15th century due to the progressive fragmentation of the Savona and disappeared in the 18th century, when it was incorporated into the domains of the Savoy.
