Giacomo del Carretto

Giacomo del Carretto (c. 1215–1268) was marquess of Finale, succeeding his father Enrico II around 1233. A loyal Ghibelline of his kinsman Frederick II, he fought Genoa and led the defence of Savona in 1243. In 1247 he married Caterina da Marano, a natural daughter of Frederick II, and became imperial vicar north of Asti.

After the emperor's death he made peace with Genoa at Varazze in 1251, surrendering Segno but keeping Finale. He died in 1268, when his lands were divided among his sons.
