Guido da Landriano, or Landriani (Italian pronunciation: [ˈɡwiːdo (l)lanˈdrjaːno, -driˈaːno]; before 1159 - after 1190), was an Italian condottiero and politician. He held the position of consul of the city of Milan and was the military leader of the troops of the Lombard League during the battle of Legnano (29 May 1176).[1] Alberto da Giussano, who according to tradition, was in command of the Lombard League, is in fact a legendary figure.[2]
