The House of Barbo (later Barbo zu / von Waxenstein ) is the name of an old and influential Carniolan noble family of Italian origin, active mostly in the territory of present-day Slovenia and in Istria. The family belonged to the Austrian nobility.

History

The Barbo family originated in Veneto, later moving to Inner Austria, especially Carniola (present-day Slovenia). Although first documented in the 13th century, they claimed descendence from Roman Emperor Claudius. In 1547 the family settled in Kožljak (Waxenstein, in German) in Habsburg Istria. They were elevated to the rank of Barons in 1622, and to the rank of Imperial Count in 1674.[1]

The family produced one Pope, Paul II, and several high-ranking officials and politicians in the Duchy of Carniola. The last male member, count Robert Barbo von Waxenstein died in 1977. He had one daughter, Countess Livia Barbo von Waxenstein, later Baroness von Reden (1921-2018).
