Such a diploma refers to a donation day Rao Falco Graone "de genre francorum" consanguineous of Nubulone ladies of the church of S. Maria Gildone Decorated (included in the estate of S. Andrea) founded by Nubolone; and we note that the donation was made "to petitionem et preces antedicti Domains Nubulonis kin" on, etc. "(192).

Other feudal Lombard was Ragone, whose name is passed down from a bachelor's donation to the monastery of St. Mary Decorated attached to the church of the same name.

The Norman period and the Swabian period not offer traces about Gildone; not so the time Angevin, as in "Liber Donationum Regi Caroli" shows what owner for Gildone and Ielsi Bertrand of Belmonte.

Hereinafter Gildone was assigned with the title of count Sanfromondo family, of which we give the detailed information in the historical mon. of 13oiano in volume III. We do not know how long the family will remain in the domain: Apparently, however, no doubt that Francis Sanfromondo it was the last owner in 1334.

The Sanfromondo, indeed, in that year sold the fief to Oddone Seeriano, the noble family regnicola ascribed to the See of Porto (known to be confused with the family of Sanseverino) concerning weapon a field party: red in the upper third with three lilies of France of gold, the lower two thirds compartito of waves of gold and blue

Gildone was donated to the State, and date soon feud to Malizia Carafa, which deal with some spread in mon. Campolieto. (The death of the last of Stephen gave rise to a legal dispute filed against the Treasury by the Countess of Preston woman Beatrice Capece, the heir of Stephen pei burghensatici likewise confiscated by the State. The Capece died in 1758, and his reasons were inherited by Marquis Antonio Guindazzi. The case went so far to end up before the Feudal Commission).
