1 Piccolo - Gregory of Montelongo Lily

Gregory of Montelongo arrived in Aquileia in 1251 not as a churchman first but as a former papal legate who had spent years coordinating military resistance against Frederick II in northern Italy. His tenure as Patriarch was shaped by that combative background, and his mint at Aquileia operated within a regional economy heavily disrupted by decades of Hohenstaufen conflict. The piccolo denomination was the workhorse of small local exchange throughout the Friulian market towns under patriarchal authority.

Bernardi's attribution remains the standard reference for the sequence, with Biaggi concurring on the type assignment to Gregory's reign rather than an earlier or later Patriarch of similar name.
