Brief History of the Montano Family - From the Internet page of the Heraldrys Institute of Rome
From Quarto al mare, whence they transplanted to Genoa around 1300. Elder Sorleone, 1419; Battista, commander of galleys against the corsairs and the enemies of the Republic, 1408. Ascribed in the De-Marini, 1528. Other branch. The famous poet Marco Montano contemporary and friend of Torquato Tasso belongs to this house. Few are the cities, which boast noble families that are as old as those in Genoa, since despite the events of the times it still has many families within it that prove their genealogy from father to son through the notarial deeds from the mid-twelfth century until these days, that is, from an era that serves as a barrier to almost all families in Europe.
