Early Origins of the Alberighi family

The surname Alberighi was first found in Tuscany (Italian: Toscana), a region in central Italy, where this ancient noble family held the castle Conti Tuscolani, in 974 when Alberto Alberici acquired the city of Piceno in Romagna. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry.
