Barbarigo
Barbarigo (also in the plural the Barbarigi ) is the name of a Venetian patrician family that flourished from the 13th to the 19th century and twice provided the Doge of Venice in the 15th century . They are therefore counted among those 16 families that are referred to as the "ducal houses" (case nuove ducali) , although of course they did not have this rank hereditary, but only in the respective person of the elective duke (see: patriciate of Venice ).
The Barbarigo were among the wealthiest families in the Republic of Venice . They had extensive estates near Verona and Treviso and on Crete . In addition to the two Doges Marco and Agostino Barbarigo , the family provided a number of procurators and cardinals . The family died out in the middle of the 19th century.
The family owned a number of palaces in and around Venice, leaving behind an important cultural and historical legacy.
It is not to be confused with the named Venetian family Barbaro .
