Pietro Barbolano (sometimes Pietro Barbo Centranico) was the 28th Doge of Venice. Reportedly a descendant of the legendary Eraclea (after whom the town near Venice is named),he was elected by the assembly of the nobles after the deposition of his predecessor,Otto Orseolo. The dates of his birth and death are unknown.
Barbolano's reign occurred during a rather difficult time in Venice. The people had spoken out against hereditary monarchy when they deposed Otto Orseolo following the scandals over nepotism. He was never fully able to win over the Venetians as he was not nearly as charismatic as the two previous Doges from the Orseolo family. For the six years of his reign,he struggled to bring the city back together,but he could not.
Because the Orseoli had created so many links between their family and the hereditary ruling dynasties of Europe,various actions were taken against Venice as a retaliation for deposing Otto Orseolo.
Constantine VIII not only took Otto Orseolo in as a relative (in fact,he was),but he also withdrew the trading privileges granted to Pietro Orseolo in 992.
He tried to obtain from the Holy Roman Emperor,Conrad II,a renewal of Venetian commercial privileges that had been granted to them by Otto III,but he was not able to do so.
In the meantime,King Stephen of Hungary,whose sister Grimelda of Hungary was the wife of Otto Orseolo,attacked Dalmatia and annexed a number of cities that had been captured by Pietro II.
The Republic appeared to be collapsing and many people went back to supporting Otto Orseolo,though not the Orseolo family as hereditary rulers. In 1032,Pietro Barbolano abdicated under heavy pressure and Otto Orseolo was called back to rule from his exile in Constantinople.
However,when the messengers got there,Otto was approaching his death causing Domenico Orseolo,his relative in Venice,to attempt to seize power. This bold action was extremely ill-received in Venice as the populace displayed its animosity for the notion that an Orseolo was somehow entitled to the Dogeship. Barbolano's successor was chosen in 1032 to be the wealthy merchant Domenico Flabanico,who had few noble ties,to spite the idea of creating a royal family in Venice.
The Venetian noble Salamon family,one of the oldest patrician houses of the Republic of Venice, [1] according to some sources would descend from the Centranico-Barbolano family through the Doge Pietro,who was the first to assume this surname. [2] [3] [4]
The Doge of Venice sometimes translated as Duke,was the chief magistrate and leader of the Republic of Venice between 726 and 1797.
The Contarini is one of the founding families of Venice and one of the oldest families of the Italian Nobility. In total eight Doges to the Republic of Venice emerged from this family,as well as 44 Procurators of San Marco,numerous ambassadors,diplomats and other notables. Among the ruling families of the republic,they held the most seats in the Great Council of Venice from the period before the Serrata del Maggior Consiglio when Councillors were elected annually to the end of the republic in 1797. The Contarini claimed to be of Roman origin through their patrilineal descendance of the Aurelii Cottae,a branch of the Roman family Aurelia,and traditionally trace their lineage back to Gaius Aurelius Cotta,consul of the Roman Republic in 252 BC and 248 BC.
The House of Orseolo was a powerful Venetian noble family descended from Orso Ipato and his son Teodato Ipato,the first Doges of Venice. Four members of the Orseolo family became Doges,Commander of the Venetian fleet,and King of Hungary. They reconstructed St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace after the revolution.
Pietro IV Candiano (925–976) was the twenty-second (traditional) or twentieth (historical) doge of Venice from 959 to his death. He was the eldest son of Pietro III Candiano,with whom he co-reigned and whom he was elected to succeed.
Domenico Selvo was the 31st Doge of Venice,serving from 1071 to 1084. During his reign as Doge,his domestic policies,the alliances that he forged,and the battles that the Venetian military won and lost laid the foundations for much of the subsequent foreign and domestic policy of the Republic of Venice. He avoided confrontations with the Byzantine Empire,the Holy Roman Empire,and the Roman Catholic Church at a time in European history when conflict threatened to upset the balance of power. At the same time,he forged new agreements with the major nations that would set up a long period of prosperity for the Republic of Venice. Through his military alliance with the Byzantine Empire,Emperor Alexios I Komnenos awarded Venice economic favors with the declaration of a golden bull that would allow for the development of the republic's international trade over the next few centuries.
Domenico Flabanico was the 29th Doge of Venice. His reign lasted from the abdication of Pietro Barbolano in 1032 until his death.
Otto Orseolo was the Doge of Venice from 1008 to 1026. He was the third son of Doge Pietro II of the House of Orseolo,and Maria Candiano,whom he succeeded at the age of sixteen,becoming the youngest doge in Venetian history.

Francesco Dandolo was the 52nd Doge of Venice. He ruled from 1329 to 1339. During his reign Venice began its policy of extending its territory on the Italian mainland.
Pietro Polani was the 36th Doge of Venice. He reigned from 1130 to 1148.
The House of Loredan is a Venetian noble family of supposed ancient Roman origin,which has played a significant role in shaping the history of the entire Mediterranean. A political dynasty,the family has throughout the centuries produced a number of famous personalities:doges,statesmen,magnates,financiers,diplomats,procurators,military commanders,naval captains,church dignitaries,writers,and lawyers.

This article presents a detailed timeline of the history of the Republic of Venice from its legendary foundation to its collapse under the efforts of Napoleon.
The Concio,in the Republic of Venice,was the general assembly of freemen from which the Doge was elected. It existed between the years 742 and 1423,although it wast mostly ceremonial after the Serrata del Maggior Consiglio passed power into the hands of the aristocratic class.
The Minor Council or Ducal Council was one of the main constitutional bodies of the Republic of Venice,and served both as advisors and partners to the Doge of Venice,sharing and limiting his authority.
The Salamon family - sometimes Salomon or Salomoni - was a patrician Venetian noble family of ancient but uncertain origin,counted among the so-called “Case Vecchie”of the Republic of Venice.
The Venetian patriciate was one of the three social bodies into which the society of the Republic of Venice was divided,together with citizens and foreigners. Patrizio was the noble title of the members of the aristocracy ruling the city of Venice and the Republic. The title was abbreviated,in front of the name,by the initials N.H.,together with the feminine variant N.D.. Holding the title of a Venetian patrician was a great honour and many European kings and princes,as well as foreign noble families,are known to have asked for and obtained the prestigious title.
The House of Marcello is a noble family of Venice,once ascribed to the Venetian Patriciate.
Longhi is an Italian surname of ancient origin,initially spelled as Longo,of which Longhi is plural. Some groups gained great power in the Middle Ages and into the modern era,holding dozens of titles of nobility and vast estates in north-central Italy. The surname appears in many dialectal variants,such as Longis,Longoni,Longa,Longhù,Longi,Longu and others. In addition to the Longus,the plural Longi is usually found in Latin texts. However,since in Italian longo means "long","tall","ancient" or "long",and is a word of common usage,it is likely that many of the numerous groups scattered throughout Italy had independent origins.
