PIO DI SAVOIA

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 632 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIO DI SAVOIA , an ancient noble Italian family, first mentioned by good authorities in the 14th
century
 . From the
house
  of Este (q.v.) they received the lordship of Carpi, and later they acquired the fiefs of Meldola, Sassuolo, &c. Many members of the family were distinguished as condottieri, diplomats and ecclesiastics. Alberto Pio obtained from the
house
  of Savoy in 1450 the privilege of adding " di Savoia" to his name as a reward for his military services. Another Alberto Pio (1475-1J31), who was French
ambassador
  in Rome, won fame as a man of learning, and
Cardinal
  Rodolfo Pio (1516-1564) was a trusted adviser to
Pius
  III. and helped to establish the
Inquisition
  at
Milan
 . Ascanio Pio (d. 1649) was a dramatic poet of some merit. Spain conferred the title of prince on the family, and one branch of it is to this day established in Spain.
See P. Litta, Le Famiglie celebri italiane (
