Simone da Correggio

Simon da Correggio (died 1344) was an Emilian condottiero, son of Giberto III da Correggio. In 1323 he took the Guelph side when Piacenza was seized from the Visconti, then changed sides and fought for Cangrande I della Scala against Padua.

Driven out of Parma by the Rossi in 1329, he returned with Scaliger help in 1331 and in 1341 made himself, with his brothers, lord of Parma. He died in 1344, leaving a daughter Jacopina, wife of Ubertino da Carrara of Padua.
