Daniele Barbaro

Daniele Matteo Alvise Barbaro (also Barbarus) (8 February 1514 – 13 April 1570)[1] was an Italian cleric and diplomat.

A cultured humanist, he was a friend and admirer of Torquato Tasso, a patron of Andrea Palladio,[3] and a student of Pietro Bembo.

[6] Barbaro served the Republic of Venice as ambassador to the court of Edward VI in London and as representative at the Council of Trent.

They commissioned Palladio to design their shared country home Villa Barbaro, which is now part of a World Heritage Site.

Daniele renounced his inheritance in favor of his brother Marcantonio and was buried in an unmarked grave behind the Church of San Francesco della Vigna instead of the family chapel there.
