I recently added some information that I made a clerical mix up with the notations- going in now to fix them- sorry. Cavourman ( talk) 04:18, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
More academic reference here - the term may be restricted to Genoa, or the Genoese sphere of influence, & I think post-dates the sense of "inn", not gives rise to it. Johnbod ( talk) 10:17, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
google books source, that I found says an albergo is a FORMAL not informal corporation of nobility that only the most distinguished families were formally invited to enter- so what we have here is people messing up the statements- including the last reference that was fine untill someone added giberish to it on the end. going in to fix.

I’ve added a lot from the Italian version of this article, though much of that needs better sourcing. [9] Things are complicated by the fact “albergo” also means “hotel” (which appears to be the most common usage of the word) and was a term used for a meeting room within the Scuole Grandi of Venice.
Then there is the following paragraph-
While Zenkert is a good source, there is no preview available to tell whether this is another false statement by the Barbaro hoaxer. No book by Zenkert that has any form of preview mentions Albergo [10] [11] or the Barbaros. [12]
So far, I have found no evidence that the Barbaro family supported the Scuola Grande di San Rocco [13] The only Barbaro mentioned at the official website is a modern church official. [14] The Sala dell'Albergo serving as the Scuole’s conference room has nothing to do with Alberghi, a Sala dell'Albergo was a standard type of room in the Scuole Grandi of Venice. [2] I can find no evidence that the Barbaro family or any family in Venice were members of an Albergo. [15] [16] [17] There is no evidence that the title Baron dell'Albergo exists, let alone that it has any connection to the Barbaro family. [18] [19]. Edward321 ( talk) 20:07, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
