Josip Mihovil (Giuseppe Michele) Stratiko [Stratico]
(Zara [now Zadar, Croatia], 31 July 1728 - Sanguinetto, 31 January 1783)

Croatian composer and violinist. The son of a Venetian nobleman, he received his education in Padua, where he studied under Giuseppe Tartini and Antonio Sberti. Sometime between 1758 and 1763 he moved to Sanguinetto, a town near Verona, where he accepted the position of vicario. Also there, he wrote his treatise, Trattato di musica, as well as taught pupils. Due to his family connections, he had little need to find employment, and thus he could concentrate on his own theories and musical composition. His works still need a thorough study and include 35 symphonies, 61 violin concertos, 15 violin duos, 170 violin sonatas, six string quartets, and 50 trios, as well as a number of smaller chamber works. His finest compositions are his concertos for the violin, which are strongly influenced by Tartini, and his six string quartets. His brother Symeon Filippos Stratigos (1733-1824) was a prominent physician, educator and scientist known to Goldoni and Voltaire.
