Bernardo Belforti

Bernardo Belforti was a Guelph nobleman of Volterra, a son of Belforte di Ranieri and brother of Bishop Ranieri and signore Ottaviano Belforti. After Ottaviano died in the Black Death summer of 1348, three Belforti designated by him were entrusted on 4 August with urgent measures after many officials died.

The three were Bernardo, Ottaviano's son Roberto, and their cousin Franco di Dino. The arrangement gave way to the ascendancy of Ottaviano's sons.
