Annuario della Nobiltà Italiana
The Annuario della Nobiltà Italiana (Yearbook of Italian Nobility) was a genealogical publication on noble families resident in Italy, founded in Pisa in 1878 by Giovanni Battista Crollalanza (Fermo, March 19, 1819 – Pisa, March 18, 1892) and published by Accademia Italiana d'Araldica (Italian Academy of Heraldry) until 1905.
A century later (98 years later, to be precise), the SAGI publishing house resumed publication with the same title, adding "notable families" and families not resident in Italy. This new Annuario della Nobiltà Italiana has been published irregularly every two or three years; it lists about forty thousand families in seven categories. The latest edition, the fifth of the new series, is a large single volume marked as the 32nd, dated 2010-2013, and includes, in addition to families of the Kingdom of Italy and the pre-unitary states, the complete listing of families in the Libro d'Oro of the Italian Consulta Araldica abolished in 1948.
