Gherardo Spinola
Gherardo Spinola (born c. 1280) was a Genoese nobleman of the powerful Spinola house, the son of Odoardo Spinola and lord of Dertona. In 1331 the Tuscan port of Motrone is recorded as having passed under his control.
His daughter Lucchina married Carlo I Grimaldi, who seized the rock of Monaco in 1331 and became its first sovereign lord. In 1338, described in the Levanto records as the son of Odoardo, Gherardo served Genoa as podestà of Levanto.
