He engraved many Roman monuments, publishing in "Admiranda Romanorum Antiquitatum" (Rome, 1693). About 1660, he excavated the "Domus Aurea ", of which he published drawings.As a draughtsman, Bartoli reproduced the "Codice Virgiliano" (Rome, Vatican, Bib. Apostolica, Cod. Vat. 3867) in 55 plates (1677; Rome, Calcografia N.), commissioned by
Cardinal Camillo Massimo . For Massimo, he also did drawings of ancient Roman paintings andmosaic s (Glasgow, U. Lib.). Later, he lived in Paris, where he was introduced at the court of Louis XIV. In 1699, with the engraverDomenico de' Rossi , he produced "Romanae Magnitudinis Monumenta", a later edition of the 1637 "Antiquae Urbis Splendor" by Giacomo Lauro.
