The Bailo of Corfu was the leader of the Venetian delegation to the island of Corfu who oversaw the affairs of the island while under Venetian rule and protected the commercial and military interests of the Republic of Venice. The first mention of a bailo in Corfu is in 1386 and is found in a Greek chronicle.[1] The bailo of Corfu is also mentioned in a document by historian Marco Guazzo from 1544.[2]
Amongst the Venetian provincial administrators, the Duke of Candia was the foremost, followed in order of seniority by the leaders of Negroponte, Corfu, Modon and Coron and Argos-Nauplion.[3] The bailo of Corfu also administered the affairs of the Venetian dependencies of Butrinto and Lepanto in the mainland.[3] Pantaleone Barbo was the first bailo of Corfu.[4] The bailo of Corfu also made reports and recommendations to Venice regarding the construction of fortifications on the island.[5][6]
