Albert Azzo I van Luni (ca. 980 - na 1026) was markgraaf van Milaan.
Leven
Albert Azzo was graaf van Luni, Genua, Tortona en Gavello, markgraaf van Milaan. Hij steunde de tegenkoning Arduin van Ivrea en organiseerde in 1012 een opstand in Rome, tijdens de aanwezigheid van keizer Hendrik II. Er ontstonden zware gevechten op de bruggen over de Tiber maar de keizer ontstnapte en de opstand verliep. In 1014 viel Albert Azzo Pavia, Novara en Vercelli aan en werd toen samen met zijn broers gevangengenomen. Een broer wist te vluchten maar Albert Azzo werd pas in 1018 vrijgelaten. Hij verdedigde in 1026 Pavia tegen keizer Koenraad II.
Albert Azzo was getrouwd met Adela. Zij hadden een zoon: Albert Azzo II van Este. Adela kocht in 1011 het kasteel van Vidiceto van een geestelijke. Dat schonk ze in 1012, samen met andere bezittingen aan de kerk van Cremona.
Albert Atto I (Italian: Alberto Azzo) (died 1029) was the son of Oberto II and Railend, widow of Sigfred, Count of Seprio. He was a member of the Obertenghi (or Adalbertini) family.
Albert first appears in the historical record in 1011. On 10 May 1013, he was acting as a missus in Italy. In 1014, he inherited the counties of Luni, Tortona, Genoa, and Milan on his father's death. His holdings were extensive and both feudal and allodial. Albert and his brothers Hugh, Adalbert (IV), and Obizzo all carried the title margrave. Their sister Bertha married Arduin of Italy to ally the Anscarid and Obertenga families. Another sister named Bertha married Ulric Manfred II of Turin. Albert himself married Adelaide, a Salian and relative of Lanfranc, Count of Aucia.
At first, Albert and his brothers supported their brother-in-law Arduin against the Emperor Henry II in the war for the Italian throne. In 1014, he did not oppose Henry's imperial coronation, but after Henry left in May, he sought to aid Arduin. After July, he confiscated Solingen, robbed the church, and assaulted Pavia, Vercelli, and Novara. In 1019, he reconciled with Henry, but in 1022, all four brothers were captured by Henry's forces and Albert submitted, receiving the iudiciaria (right of justice) in Monselice. In Spring 1026, Albert joined Ulric Manfred in defending Pavia from Conrad II.
Albert left one son: Albert Azzo II.
