Baron Profumo

Baron Profumo was a title in the nobility of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It was created by Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, on 30 November 1843 for Antonio Profumo, a Genoese merchant and politician who was President of the Tribunal of Commerce in Genoa. The best known Baron Profumo was the British politician John Profumo, who did not use the title. Italian noble titles were no longer recognised in Italy after 1948.
