Marco Barbo (1420 – 2 March 1491) of
Biography
Marco Barbo, the eldest son of Marino di Ser Marco Barbo and Filippa della Riva,[2] was a member of the noble Barbo family of Venice, and a third cousin of Pietro Barbo, who became Pope Paul II.[3]
On 20 November 1438, the eighteen-year-old Marco was presented by his father at the offices of the Venetian Avogadori, to qualify him to attend the Major Council.[4]
Marco became Maestro di casa of his cousin the cardinal, and in 1449 became his procurator for the Premonstratensian abbey of Sainst Severo e Martirio near Orvieto.[5]

In 1465, Paul II, who had heard a good deal of disquieting information about the Knights of Rhodes (Cavaliers of S. John of Jerusalem), appointed a committee, which included his cousin the Bishop of Vicenza, to attend the General Congregation of the Knights. After a detailed report, featuring the financial state of the Knights, was presented, Paul II issued a bull "Quamvis ex Commisso" on 14 February 1466, embodying an analysis of the problems and the outlines of a reform of the Order.[12] Bishop Marco Barbo was assigned the Roman priory of the Order in commendam.[13]
