Ugo Fieschi

Ugo Fieschi (c. 1150–1211) was count of Lavagna and head of the Guelph Fieschi dynasty on the Ligurian Levante. With his wife Beatrice Grillo he fathered Tedisio and Sinibaldo, the future Pope Innocent IV, who led the Church through its struggle with Emperor Frederick II.

In 1209–1210 Ugo replaced the old wooden crossing of the Entella between Lavagna and Chiavari with a thirteen-arch stone bridge, the Ponte della Maddalena, whose tolls remained in Fieschi hands until the mid-fifteenth century.
