The Biscione is seen here. Also in the COA of Malaspina Torello D'Aragona Scotti in the Archives. Does it represent the House of Visconti or symbolizes Milan? House of Sforza?

Grazzano Visconti is a charming medieval-style village located in the hills of Piacenza. It was created in the early 20th century by the Duke Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone, who aimed to recreate the atmosphere of the Italian Renaissance. The village has narrow streets, stone buildings, a small castle, and a beautiful central square. It is a popular tourist destination, known for its picturesque and well-preserved architecture.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
