The Genealogical Work

From Aldo to Guido, a story of patience and memory

Origins — Aldo

The family's genealogical work began with the hand of Aldo Guerri dall'Oro (1913–2004): the first family trees and coats of arms were drawn by him by hand, line after line, in the patient method of an age without computers.

The Work — Guido

It was his son Guido Guerri dall'Oro Gallone (1941–2019) who gathered and expanded this legacy, turning it into an undertaking of extraordinary scale. For over twenty years, seven days a week, eight hours a day, Guido devoted himself to genealogical research, digitising the work begun by his father and tracing it back through the centuries to the great dynasties of Europe.

The Legacy — Simon

Today this work lives again in digital form. This site — its descents, its convergence tree, its chronology — rests entirely on the work of Guido and, before him, Aldo. The research continues.
