Originally a subject of the King of Italy, he had also allied himself to the royal family by marrying Gerberga, daughter of Berengar II.

Aleramo and Gerberga had three sons:
* William II, died bef. 967, co-ruler with his father
* Otto, died 991. His son William III succeeded to Montferrat
* Anselm, who succeeded to Liguria
He was buried in Grazzano Badoglio, in the Province of Asti. His tomb, restored in the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, is marked by a mosaic depicting mythological beasts.
