Paolo Romano
Paolo Romano (ca.1445-ca.1470), also known as Paolo Tuccone and as Paolo di Mariano di Tuccio Taccone was an Italian renaissance sculptor. Giorgio Vasari in his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects recounts that Paolo Romano was a modest man whose sculpture was far superior to that of his boastful contemporary Mino del Reame.
The Vatican Museums and Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome have a sculpture by Paolo Romano.
