BERTOLI, GIANDOMENICO. - Archaeologist, b. at Meretto near Udine on 13 March 1676, d. at Aquileia on 22 March 1763. He was a canon of Aquileia and studied with zeal and intelligence the antiquities of that city, of which he assembled a museum that later passed to the counts Cassis, the first nucleus of the present one.

He published on the subject a volume that was epoch-making, especially rich in inscriptions: Le antichità di Aquileia profane e sacre, per le maggior parte finora inedite, raccolte ed illustrate (Venice 1739). He also wrote a continuation of it, in two further volumes, which remained in manuscript until the years of his death. He set the example of making rational use of epigraphic codices. He also published many dissertations in Calogerà's collection.
