The Barberini are a family of the Italian nobility that rose to prominence in 17th century Rome. Their influence peaked with the election of Cardinal Maffeo Barberini to the papal throne in 1623, as Pope Urban VIII, their urban palace, the Palazzo Barberini, completed in 1633 by Bernini, today houses Italy's Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica. The Barberini family were a family of minor nobility from the Tuscan town of Barberino Val d'Elsa, who settled in Florence during the early part of the 11th century. Carlo Barberini and his brother Antonio Barberini were successful Florentine grain and textile merchants. In 1530 Antonio participated in the defense of the Florentine Republic but after the capture of the city by Imperial troops, the return to power of the Medici, Antonio grew weary of Medici rule and left Florence in 1537 to oversee Barberini business in Rome. In 1552, Carlo's son Francesco followed his uncle to business flourished. Francesco became a rich man and bought a number of high offices within government and the Catholic church.

In 1559, his uncle Antonio was murdered by forces loyal to the Medici. Francesco continued to build his fortune and amass titles until his death in 1600. Ordinarily his estate would have been "fined" by the Camera Apostolica for operating a business while holding church office but his relatives appealed to the head of the organization Francesco had, once directed; the continuation of Barberini business fell to his nephews including Maffeo Barberini. The Barberini acquired great wealth and influence when Cardinal Maffeo Barberini was elected to the papal throne in 1623, taking the name Pope Urban VIII, he elevated a brother Antonio Marcello Barberini and two nephews, Francesco Barberini and Antonio Barberini, to the cardinalate. He made another brother Duke of Monterotondo, gave a third nephew, Taddeo Barberini, the principality of Palestrina. Taddeo was made Gonfalonier of the Church, Prefect of Rome and Commander of Sant'Angelo; the ecclesiastical and cultural accomplishments of Urban's reign were overshadowed by the nepotism the pope practised.

Urban's contemporary, John Bargrave, wrote: Likewise, the War of Castro, toward the end of Urban's papacy, sullied Urban's reputation and the popularity of those family members who survived him. It is estimated that during the course of Urban's reign, the Barberini amassed 105 million scudi in personal wealth; when the pope removed the ancient bronze beams from the portico of the Pantheon to procure bronze for the baldachin of St. Peter's Basilica and for the papal cannon foundry, an anonymous critic punningly wrote: This translates to "What the barbarians did not do, the Barberini did"; the pope erected a tablet proudly proclaiming his re-use of these hidden beams for the glory and defense of the church. The Barberini participated extensively in the First War of Castro; the conflict began when Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza, visited Rome and insulted the pope's nephews by suggesting the brothers were too young to manage the Pope's affairs. The war produced no clear victor, Pope Urban died in 1644, only months after a peace accord was signed.

Despite Urban's appointment of a number of relatives as cardinals, the College of Cardinals elected Pope Innocent X of the Pamphili family. Innocent X launched an investigation into the conduct of various members of the Barberini family during the wars; the three nephews who had risen to prominence under their uncle Pope Urban VIII, cardinals Antonio and Francesco and Prince Taddeo were forced into exile and fled to Paris under the protection of Cardinal Mazarin. Antonio and Taddeo left first, by sea, but not before hanging the French coat of arms above the door of the Palazzo Barberini to confirm they were under the protection of France. Francesco joined his brothers soon after. Taddeo's wife, Anna Colonna joined her husband and children in Paris but not before making a passionate appeal to the Pope, urging him not to strip the Barberini of their assets; the Pope agreed and, though he paid some debts out of the Barberini estate, left the Barberini alone. In Paris they relied on the hospitality of Louis XIV, King of France, until 1653 when most of the family returned to Rome.

Though Taddeo died in exile in 1647, his brothers reconciled with the papacy through the marriage of Taddeo's younger son Maffeo with Olimpia Giustiniani, a niece of Pope Innocent. Maffeo was given that of Prince of Palestrina. Taddeo's older son Carlo Barberini was made a cardinal by Pope Innocent X. Taddeo's daughter, Lucrezia Barberini, married Francesco I d'Este, Duke of Modena, further stabilizing relations; the 1627 marriage of Taddeo Barberini and Anna Colonna, daughter of Filippo I Colonna began the century-long process which would see the Barberini merge with the Colonna family. In 1728, the Carbognano branch of the Colonna family added the name Barberini to its family name when Giulio Cesare Colonna di Sciarra married Cornelia Barberini, daughter of Urbano Barberini, the last legitimate male Barberini heir. Though Urbano's wives bore him no legitimate male heirs, Urbano fathered a son, Maffeo Callisto Barberini in 1688 prior to any one of his three marriages; the will of Urbano Barberini's last wife, Maria Teresa Boncompagni, makes mention of this Maffeo Callisto as the Marquis of Corese.

A large portion of the Barberini estate was left for him in her will. Her progeny came into conflict with his over claims to the Barberini estate but the quarrel was settled with an

St Patrick's Old Collegians Football Club Inc. Est. 1931 is an Australian rules football club in Prospect Vale and competes in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association. The mascot for the "Saints" is "the Champ" a footballer on the run with ball under the arm and the other arm outstreached, dressed in his football gear with a halo above his head. Prior to the formation of the Northern Tasmanian Football Association the club competed in the Tasmanian Amateur Football League; the club as the name suggests was formed as an offshute for past school boys to continue playing organised sport. The club continues to foster a relationship with St Patrick's College, but not all players are recruited from the school; the club is situated in Prospect Vale on a lower oval of the College's grounds. The oval has adequate lighting facilities to host night games; the oval is unique in that it has a sandy soil and is difficult for grass to grow at the top end of the oval. The oval has been used as a conceptual model for urban salinity in Tasmania.
