COLLI MARCHINI, MICHELANGELO ALESSANDRO. - Baron, general, b. at Alessandria or Vigevano in 1756, d. in Piedmont in 1809. He was sent by Pius VI to defend his domains from a further Jacobin advance.

Following the signing of the Peace of Tolentino (19 February), he entered the French army in 1798; on 15 August 1799 he was gravely wounded and fell prisoner to the Austrians. Having fallen into disfavor, he was removed from active service; in 1805 he resigned and retired to private life.
