So even though William Colacicchi is a resident of the UK. In Italy, he be noted as a Conte and his daughter a Contessa.

Great catch !.

They appear not to use the title in this country

Seems like the title was only created 16 Feb 1928 to Massimiliano Colacicchi, Noble of Anagni by Pope Pius XI. Seems Mark is the 3rd Count and has a brother called Max William, born 1954.

As as Papal title it is still recognised by the Holy See.

William Colacicchi's eldest brother Capt Mark Paul Colacicchi (1951-2005) married, as his 1st wife, Camilla Pinsent, a scion of the Pinsent baronets.
