The familia of the bishop of Verona Ermolao Barbaro, who was personally and authoritatively
active in his diocese’s government (1453-1471), played a significant role in support of
the action of the bishop. Characterized by the near absence of relatives and fellow countrymen
and highly qualifi ed under the cultural and human profile, the set of the bishop’s familia appears
composite, dynamic and open to the recruitment of men from different extraction and
origin. The not many men from Verona who joined the familia distinguished themselves for
their prominent positions and were recruited among those who, for various reasons, could
provide a solid anchor to Barbaro with the infl uential chapter of canons and with the town ruling
class. The bishop’s entourage members, both the collaborators who assisted the bishop in
the institutional tasks, and the ecclesiastics in charge of the service in his chapel, were largely
rewarded with benefits that Barbaro easily obtained from the heap of diocesan benefits.
