Burial: Unknown.

Occupation: Marchese della Liguria Orientale (FMG lists him as an unspecified Marchese, which probably means he took the same title as his father).

Alternate Names: The family eventually became known as the Aleramici, from Anselmo's father, Aleramo. This designation was a much later creation, much like the Carolingians as derived from Charles Martel, Charlemagne's grandfather. However, the "di Liguria Orientale" is taken from his presumed title.
