Vito Barbieri (born October 21, 1951) is a Republican Idaho State Representative since 2010 representing District 2 in the A seat.
Barbieri earned his law degree from Western State University College of Law.
Barbieri previously served on the Revenue and Taxation Committee from 2010-2012.
Barbieri came to national attention on February 23, 2015, after asking a doctor giving testimony if a woman could swallow a camera in order to undergo a remote gynecological exam and received the answer that such was not possible as swallowing a pill will not lead it to the vagina. In response to commentary on social media about the seeming anatomical confusion, he explained his remarks: "I was being rhetorical, because I was trying to make the point that equalizing a colonoscopy to this particular procedure was apples and oranges... So I was asking a rhetorical question that was designed to make her say that they weren't the same thing, and she did so. It was the response I wanted."
