cowboy i looking for any info on castle Pietramala and about the baron Pietralama. for my family history that has been lost to me.
thank you for your help.
Marko Well, did some searching for you on several Italian search engines and came up with the following:
Pietramala seems to be a little village near Firenze (as can been seen on this map: http://www.zoomedia.it/Firenzuola/Hamlets.html )
From this village originates a family called Tarlati di Pietramala. This family seems to be a noble and powerful family in the Firenze region since the 14th century. One chap gets mentioned several times; a Guido Tarlati di Pietramala. But because my Italian is very bad I don't know if this is your baron. If your Italian is better you could better search for yourself. (if you go to http://www.castlesontheweb.com/quest/Forum12/HTML/000129.html you find a link to several Italian searchengines.)
And also there is a Pietra Castle in Tuscany (which is not quite the same name but it's near the region of Firenze) at http://www.castellitoscani.com/pietra.htm
Hope this helps.
