Paolo Romano

Paolo Romano, also known as Paolo Tuccone and as Paolo di Mariano di Tuccio Taccone was an Italian [Renaissance sculptor] and goldsmith. He was active by 1451, and probably died by 1470. 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 the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome are home to sculptures by Paolo Romano. His disciples include Giovanni [Cristoforo Romano].
