Azzone Visconti

Azzo Visconti (* December 7, 1302; † August 16, 1339 ), which his father Galeazzo Visconti in 1328 I followed, bought the title of imperial vicar for 25,000 florins from the same Emperor Louis IV, who had imprisoned his father. He captured ten towns, murdered his uncle Marco ( 1329 ), suppressed a revolt of his cousin Lodrisio, reorganized the administration of his country, built the octagonal tower of San Gottardo.

Azzo was married to Catherine of Savoy since October 1, 1330 († June 18, 1388 ). The marriage remained without heirs. Milan went to Azzos death of his uncle Giovanni Visconti Luchino Visconti.
