Francesco (Franz) Bathioli was a guitarist composer of probable Italian origin. He lived in the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth Centuries. He was active primarily in Vienna, where he moved in 1825; here his most important compositions for guitar were published, a dozen in all. He moved to Venice during the last years of his life. We know with some certainty that his death occurred in 1830. Among his best works should be mentioned the Concert for guitar and string quartet, Op.3, and his chamber music with guitar. In the available lists of his guitar works there is no opus number one; from the scant available information, we can hazard the guess that it is the Ventiquattro lezioni, his only listed work with no opus number. Bathioli published also a Method for guitar; no copy is known to exist. In some references the name of Bathioli has often been mistaken for “Barthioli”.
