Part III: noble families subdivided into: a) pontifical titled after 1870; b) noble families ennobled by the Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta or admitted to the said chivalric Order; c) noble families ennobled by King of Italy Umberto II after 1947; d) families admitted to chivalric orders with proofs of nobility for reception after the fall of the Kingdom of Italy, or those who ennobled others;

Part IV: families endowed with "nobility of generosity", especially from preunitary states, which however were not recognized by the Kingdom of Italy and thus are not included in the previous parts;

Part V: Italian “notable” families, i.e., households possessing a coat of arms and living in the manner of nobility, but formally not recognized as noble; Index.
