Marquisate of Saluzzo

The Marquisate of Saluzzo (Italian: Marchesato di Saluzzo) was a historical Italian state that included parts of the current region of Piedmont and of the French Alps. The Marquisate was much older than the Renaissance lordships, being a legacy of the feudalism of the High Middle Ages.
