Guido Spinola

Guido Spinola was a Genoese noble of the Spinola di San Luca branch, son of Giovanni Spinola and Giacoma di San Genesio. In 1251, as a leading councillor, he approved Genoa's agreements with Savona, Florence and Pavia; in 1252 he sat among the Eight Nobles in charge of public finances. In July 1261 he ratified the Treaty of Nymphaeum with the Byzantine emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos.

In 1263 he led an embassy to Pope Urban IV. After the failure of Oberto Spinola's rising, he held the podestà with Nicolò Doria from 1265 to 1266.
