Giorgio del Carretto

Giorgio del Carretto (1280–c. 1359) was marquis of Finale in Liguria, eldest son of Antonio del Carretto. A leader of the Ghibelline exiles, he reduced the Guelph stronghold of Noli in 1322.

After he ravaged the territory of Albenga in 1341, the Genoese doge Simone Boccanegra seized him under a safe conduct and confined him in a wooden cage until his escape at Christmas 1344. He made peace with Genoa in 1345 and received imperial investiture from Charles IV in 1355.
