The Barbaro family is a Venetian noble family which included the humanists Daniele Barbaro and Marcantonio Barbaro, who were among the patrons of the architect Andrea Palladio and the painter Paolo Veronese.
Palladio designed for the family Villa Barbaro at Maser, the Barbaro also owned Pallazzi on the Grand Canal of Venice. Family members acted as deans and professors of the University of Padua and as Patriarchs of Aquileia. The church of Santa Maria Zobenigo in Venice was built for them.
The Barbaro appeared in Venice ca. 868 A.D. The family survives today in two branches: a former Venetian noble branch with the nickname Albergo who had ties to the House of Grimaldi and who had also earned royal titles from both Austria's former House of Habsburg-Lorraine and the Manchu Qing Emperor Jiaqing; and a second noble branch, nicknamed St. George, who are now the Marchesi di San Giorgio of Malta. The family's third branch, nicknamed San Vidal, became extinct around 1797 A.D. The Albergo branch's main industry was silk production.
