"The Glorification of the Barbaro Family" by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo

The Barbaro family was a patrician Venetian family. Famous members included the brothers Daniele Barbaro and Marcantonio Barbaro, who were patrons of the architect Andrea Palladio and the painter Paolo Veronese.. The family built a country home at Maser – the famous Villa Barbaro designed by Palladio.

History

Barbaro family members acted as deans and professors of the University of Padua. Four were Patriarchs of Aquileia.

A Vincenzo Barbaro inherited the Palazzo Dario in 1494.

In the 17th century, the family expanded upon their large Palazzo Barbaro of Gothic design on Venice's Grand Canal by also building a second Baroque palace right next to it for the purpose of housing their ballroom.

The church of San Francesco della Vigna houses a chapel of the Barbaro family containing the Barbaro ancestral device, a red circle on a white field, granted in the 12th century after Admiral Marco Barbaro used a bleeding stump, from a severed hand, to draw a circle onto a turban- which he flew as a pennant from his masthead. .

The Barbaro family Albergo supported the Scuola Grande of the church of San Rocco, Venice, which primarily assisted citizens in time of plague, and the Scuola's Sala dell'Albergo functioned as the conference room for the members of the confraternity's Albergo.
