| Summary: | A nephew of Cardinal Guido da Somma and papal subdeacon, Alberto started a brilliant career within the familia of Henry of Blois, bishop of Winchester and papal legate in England. From 1177 onwards, he was instructed by pope Alexander III to act as a mediator between Frederick I and the Lombard League and to supervise papal enquiries on financial matters, regarding in particular the exemption of some churches in North-West Italy. In 1181 he was canon of S. Alessandro in Bergamo, but quickly moved to the church of S. Ambrogio in Milan where, between 1188 and 1192, he restored the canons' dire financial situation thanks to his huge resources and experience on economic matters. Alberto left the canons detailed instructions on the celebration of his obit and a rich inheritance which he used to establish a new canonical prebend, the thirteenth one, assigned to a member of his lineage. A critical edition of Alberto da Somma’s five last wills is provided. |
