Genoa since 958 , in favor of the bishops and then of the consular municipality (from 1099)
Tortona from 979 , in favor of the bishops and then of the municipality (from 1122)
Luni since 981 , in favor of the bishops
Bobbio since 1014 , in favor of the bishops-count and therefore of the "Episcopal County of Bobbio"
Milan from 1046 , in favor of the bishops and then of the consular municipality (from 1117)
In the spring of 1026 Alberto Azzo I and Olderico Manfredi II defended Pavia against the forces of Emperor Corrado II il Salico , successor of Henry II.
