Шаблон:Short description Centurione I Zaccaria[1] was a powerful noble in the Principality of Achaea in Frankish Greece. In 1345 he succeeded his father, Martino Zaccaria, as baron of Damala and lord of one half of the Barony of Chalandritsa, and in 1359 he acquired the other half. In about 1370 he was named Grand Constable of Achaea and received also the Barony of Estamira. He also thrice held the post of bailli (viceroy) for the principality's Angevin rulers.

Nicholas of Boyano, a bailee for Prince-Emperor Robert of Taranto and his consort Marie of Bourbon, wrote a report on 1360-1361 addressed to the Princess-Empress Marie where Centurione is excessively mentioned. Based on his words, Zaccaria didn't provided feudal services and payments to his Napolitan overlords and notes that he would need more than two days to record all the complaints he heard about Centurione's excesses in Morea. Nicholas send him a command to make amends for damage done to the properties of Marie, but Centurione responded "with bland words acting as if he were Prince William [[of Villehardouin]] himself come back to life". Nicholas was powerless to bend down the insolent baron that he named "a tyrant". He warned the empress that Zaccaria should be subdued if she and her son wished to have real authority in Romaniae.[2]

As evidenced by his son Andronikos inheriting his titles, he died before 1386,[1] during his third bailliage.
