ALVIANO, BARTOLOMEO D'. - Condottiere b. at Rocca d'Alviano, of the noble Liviani family, in 1455, d. at Bergamo in 1515. He began his career in 1478 in the pay of the Pope and the king of Naples against Lorenzo the Magnificent. He then passed to the side of the Orsini and fought for them in 1496 in the lands of the Church. In 1503 he fought with the Spaniards against the French and played a decisive part in the battle of the Garigliano, which marked the definitive defeat of Louis XII in the kingdom. In 1507, together with Niccolò Orsini, count of Pitigliano, he entered the pay of the Venetians, and remained in it until his death. After the victorious campaign of 1508 against Maximilian, king of Germany, which gave Venice the momentary conquest of Trieste, he began in 1509 that against the League of Cambrai; but in the defeat of Agnadello he was taken prisoner. Freed five years later, he resumed service with the rank of captain general of the Most Serene Republic, and the hereditary possession of Pordenone in Friuli was confirmed to him. To him is due the defeat of the Swiss in the battle of Marignano (1515).
