The Counts of Aosta were noble rulers in the region of Aosta Valley, located in northwestern Italy. This title was established in the early Middle Ages and was associated with the governance of the valley, which is known for its stunning Alpine scenery and historical significance. The counts played a crucial role in local politics and the administration of justice. Throughout their history, the Counts of Aosta were often involved in conflicts with neighboring territories and other noble families. Their influence waned over time, especially as the region became integrated into larger political entities, such as the Duchy of Savoy. Today, the legacy of the counts is reflected in the rich cultural heritage of the Aosta Valley.
