Paolo Persico (c. 1729—1796),[1][2] was an Italian sculptor of the late-Baroque, active at and near Naples.
He is best known for sculptures in the gardens of Palace of Caserta, including the figures of Diana and Acteon in a fountain. He also contributed statues of the Lions for the entrance stairway, a Faun, The Gladiator, and an Apollo. His work at Caserta was a collaborative project with contributions by Angelo Brunelli, Pietro Solari, Andrea Violani, and Gaetano Salomone.[3] He also produced sculptures, including the statuary group called Soavità del giogo matrimoniale and the angels in the complex bas-relief of the main altarpiece depicting the Deposition (collaboration with Francesco Celebrano) for the Sansevero Chapel in Naples.
