- Signore da Corregio. 'Defender' of Parma 1303-1321.
"Giberto entered public life in 1303, when he managed to reconcile the long feuding families of Parma, and to draw in those who had been expelled or had fled, except for the Rossi family, which remained opposed to him. He was acclaimed by the people and elected lord and protector of the city, becoming known as 'the Defender of Parma'. During his rule he acquired for his family the castles of Campagnola and Fabbrico thanks to repeated military successes over the rival families of Rossi and Este, and a shrewd policy of matrimonial alliances. Always engaged in local wars, Giberto sided at different times with both the Ghibellines and Guelphs. A close supporter of Emperor Heinrich VII at the time of his coronation with the Lombard crown in Milan in January 1311, he became an ally of the Guelphs in peace negotiations with the imperial supporters of the Hohenstaufen a few years later. A local revolt in 1316, led by some of his opponents of years earlier including the Rossi family, forced him to take refuge in the family estate of Castelnuovo di Sotto, where he died on 26 July 1326."
