Capitano di Gianoglio 1821 - Identifying a painting

[simsamsim]

Hello, I am trying to identify the officer in this painting. I have some information but can't get there... Please help.
As the photos show, writing on the back says something like:
Longino capitano di Gianoglio 9 Marzo 1821
VE1

I think maybe the writing is later, and was copied from an original note on the back which is now missing.
"VE1" is because it was painting during the reign of Victor Emanuele I.
Gianoglio may be Gianolio, a village in Piemonte. That's all I know really!
Do you think the writing says what I think it does?
Is there anything distinctive about the uniform maybe?

I think that the first word written is "Cugino" - not Longino [Cousin]

Hi Tessa78, thanks - do you whether Cugino is also a family name? (I’ll check this).

It does exist as a surname, but in very small numbers today in Piedmont region

No it is wrote Longino..
However these infos can be searched just in local area, in libraries or archive. Maybe a local historian can recognize it..

suanj (and others) - In your view, does it say "Gianoglio" or "Granaglio"?

Granaglio(ne), a town/cluster of villages near Bologna.
Gianoglio / Gianolio, a village in Cuneo, Piemonte.

hi suanj, no I don't know the artist's name unfortunately. The only writing on the back is what I've shared.
Thanks
