Finaly tracked down a refernce to the de Foa family in Pientmonte.
THE FOA FAMILY IS ROLLED IN THE PIEMONTESI NOBLE FAMILIES.

"....Jewish noble family from Palestina:

arma: d'argento all'albero terrazzato sostenuto da due leoni e caricato sul fogliame da una stella. il tutto al naturale"

ANNUARIO DELLA NOBILTA ITALIANA 2011 VOLUME IV PAG. 455

Paul,
I scanned through the poem in the link you referenced. Where did you find the reference to Jewish noble family from Palestina?

I have some thoughts to add to this but I will do that separately or by pm.

A cousin gave me this information and no more.
A google search reveals Foa to be a jewish Italian family of note arriving in Turin from France in the 1600s.

Any information that you have that might connect would be appreciated.
