There is little that is historically documented about Oddo, but along with his father and brothers, he is recorded as having made a donation to the Order of Cluny in 1030, and another in 1051 to the church at Tarentaise. Brother of the previous count, Amédée I, Oddon owned estates on the borders, and enjoyed the title of marquis and the lands connected to it by virtue of his wife and heiress, Adelaide of Turin. He thus became master of the valleys comprised between the Dora Baltea and the Pesio, and of a large part of the former marquisate of Ivrea.

Place of burial: Cathedral of San Giovanni, Turin

Son of Humbert I de Savoie and Auxilia. He married Adelaide of Turin in 1046, her third husband, and had issue.
