Pietro Barbo was born on 23 February 1417 and originally trained as a merchant. When his maternal uncle became Pope Eugene IV, Barbo abandoned commerce for religious studies and rose through the Church with uncommon speed. On 30 August 1464, he was elected pope, taking the name Paul II. His seven-year reign is remembered less for doctrine than for his obsessive collecting: he built a formidable trove of art and antiquities. He died on 26 July 1471.
