Ceva
Ceva was an Aleramic marquisate on the upper Tanaro, founded by the heirs of Bonifacio del Vasto. In 1337 Boniface II represented its ruling line, which had repeatedly been bound to Asti.
The lords issued Ceva's statutes in 1358. In 1382 Angevin rights in Piedmont passed to Amadeus VI of Savoy, while the marquises followed Asti's fortunes as it passed with Valentina Visconti's dowry to the dukes of Orléans. The jurisdiction was divided into twelve captaincies in 1457; In 1531 Charles V assigned Ceva to Savoy, ending Aleramic rule.
