Bailardino Nogarola

Bailardino Nogarola (c. 1270–1340) was a Veronese nobleman, diplomat and condottiero who spent his life in the service of the della Scala lords of Verona. He joined them young and was knighted in 1295 together with Bartolomeo and Cangrande, sons of Lord Alberto I della Scala.

For the family he served as podestà of several cities, and in 1311 went to Milan as Scaliger ambassador to meet Emperor Henry VII.

When Cangrande died on 22 July 1329, Bailardino managed the passing of power to his nephews Mastino II and Alberto II della Scala. He died at Nogarole Rocca on 24 October 1340 and was given a solemn funeral.
