Guido Torelli

Portrait of Guido Torelli. Guido Torelli (c. 1380 in Mantua - July 8, 1449, in Milan) was a condottiero. Through his military campaigns and diplomatic skills, he achieved the title of the first Count of Guastalla and Montechiarugolo.

Guido Torelli hailed from a family of condottieri who served the Gonzaga family of Mantua. An opportunist, he aligned himself with powerful lords like the Visconti to secure their favor. Despite participating in numerous battles, he lived to the age of 69, a remarkable feat. Engaged in all conflicts in Northern Italy, he even played a key role as an admiral in the liberation of Naples from Aragonese rule in 1424. Guido Torelli's relentless military exploits earned him lands, titles, and citizenships, establishing the influential Torelli family that held sway over Guastalla and Montechiarugolo until the 17th century.
