Francesco Ghetaldi-Gondola also Baron Frano Gondola-Gundulic (August 8, 1833 - July 3, 1899) was the son of Segismondo Ghetaldi-Gondola and Malvina Orsola Bosdari. Ghetaldi was a member of the Knights of St. John from 1889 until the death of the minister of Ragusa. He was distinguished with the Devotion's cross (S.M.O) in June 15, 1857. He fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). Francesco was founded the Società Filatelica in 4 December 1890, Ragusa/Dubrovnik.

In 1889, the Serbian political circle in Dubrovnik supported Baron Francesco Ghetaldi-Gondola, the candidate of the pro-Italian Autonomous Party, in the 1890 election to the Dalmatian Diet.[1] In the following year during the election of the local government, the Autonomous Party with the Serbian Party won the municipal election in Dubrovnik.

In 1893, he opened the monument for Ivan Gundulić in Piazza Gondola (Gundulić Square). Unmarried, he died in Ragusa in 1899. He was buried in the St. Mihailo family cemetery in Lapad (the Gruž also Gravosa district).
