Agostino Barbarigo (January 22, 1516 – October 9, 1571) was a Venetiannobleman who served numerous administrative and military assignments for Venice, including Venetian Ambassador in France (1554-1557).[1][2]
Barbarigo headed the Holy League left wing (at top left) during the 1571 Battle of Lepanto, where both he and the commander of the opposing Turkish right wing, Mehmed Siroco, were killed in action.
In 1567 Barbarigo was elected lieutenant of Cyprus but opted 2 months later for a different post.[4]
Lepanto
As an experienced commander and second in command of the Venetian contingent, he led the Christian left wing, during the Battle of Lepanto.[5][6][7] Although his galleys were victorious, he was mortally wounded by an arrow in the eye.[8][9][10] The leader of the Turkish right wing and Barbarigo's tactical opponent, Mehmed Siroco, was also killed in the battle.[11]
