Bartolomeo was a son of Alberto I della Scala, who during his rule (1277–1301) established Scaliger rule over Verona as a hereditary lordship.[2] Possibly as early as 1293, Alberto associated Bartolomeo with him in ruling the city. As a result, when Alberto died in 1301, Bartolomeo immediately succeeded him as "Captain and Rector" of the gastalds and people of Verona.[2] During his brief rule, Bartolomeo further consolidated Scaliger control, depriving the council of the guilds from its last remaining authority.[3]
He had married in 1291 Costanza di Antiochia, daughter of Corrado d'Antiochia.
Bartolomeo died on 7 or 8 March 1304 and was succeeded by his brother Alboino.[3]
