Baron Profumo
Baron Profumo is a title in the peerage of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It was created by Charles Albert, King of Sardinia on 30 November 1843 for Antonio Profumo, a Genoese merchant and politician who was President of the Tribunal of Commerce in Genoa.[1] The title was not used by its last holder, and Italian titles of nobility were abolished in 1948.
