Agostino Barbarigo (admiral)
Agostino Barbarigo (1518 – 9 October 1571) was a Venetian nobleman[1] who, as an experienced commander led the Christian left wing, during the Battle of Lepanto.[2] Although his galleys were victorious, he was mortally wounded by an arrow in the right eye.[3] The leader of the Turkish right wing and Barbarigo's tactical opponent, Mehmed Siroco, was also killed in the battle.[4]
