Also called Alesia del Vasto, Alasia, Alisona, Alesia. She was a daughter of Thomas I of Saluzzo.
Alesia married Richard Fitzalan, the future earl of Arundel, sometime before 1285. Her marriage was arranged by the late King Henry III's widowed Queen consort, Eleanor of Provence. Alice was one of the first Italian women to marry into an English noble family. She assumed the title of Countess of Arundel in 1289.
Richard had several castles, but his and Alice's principal residence was Marlborough Castle in Wiltshire. Together they had four known children: Edmund Fitzalan, John Fitzalan, a priest, Alice Fitzalan and Margaret Fitzalan. Many sources shown an alleged fifth child, Eleanor Fitzalan.
