Uberto Visconti

Uberto Visconti (c. 1170–1248) was a Lombard nobleman, son of Ruggero Visconti, consul of Milan. He held the fiefs of Massino, Albizzate and Besnate and is regarded as progenitor of the Visconti lords and dukes of Milan.

By his wife Berta Pirovano he had six sons, the most famous being Ottone, later archbishop of Milan; the rival Torriani family challenged Ottone's election by citing Uberto's reputed lack of piety. He died in 1248, before his son made the family masters of Milan.
