Marco Barbarigo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marco Barbarigo (c. 1413 – 1486) was the 73rd Doge of Venice from 1485 until 1486.

His dogaressa was Lucia Ruzzini (d. 1496), described as a hypochondriac but talented beauty.^[1] His brother was Agostino Barbarigo. The two are the namesakes of the Master of the Barbarigo Reliefs, who was responsible for the creation of their tomb.

Popular culture

He appears in the video game Assassin's Creed II as a villain, and one of the main character's assassination targets; he was killed while holding a speech on a boat during Carnevale. His bodyguard, Dante Moro would be killed later.
