The Cybo, Cibo or Cibei family of Italy is an aristocratic family from Genoa of Greek origin. They came to the city in the 12th century. In 1528 the Cybos formed the 17th "Albergo", a union of noble families of Genoa. The family split in many branches, some living in Genoa, other in Naples. Its most famous member is Pope Innocent VIII, from whom descended the dukes of Massa. They married with the most famous Italian families including Medici of Tuscany, Rovere of Urbino, Este of Modena and Pico della Mirandola.
Lorenzo Cybo, by marriage to Ricciarda Malaspina in May 1520, became marquis of Massa, founding the Cybo-Malaspina branch.
