From this original lineage derives the Colli family from the area of Alessandria, which passed into France and transformed its surname into Coli and then, in 1500, produced a branch known as Col in Mocchie (a once-independent mountain town and annexed to the Municipality of Condove). Later a Michele Col settled from Mocchie to Avigliana in 1650; the surname is then repeated in various notarial deeds in the Valle di Susa between 1690 and 1700. The emblem of this family bore 3 green hills or mountains on a silver field at the tip. Source: "Famous Families of Susa and Avigliana" book, written by Father Bacchus around 1850
