Paola Barocchi FBA (2 April 1927, in Florence – 25 May 2016, in Florence) was an Italian art historian, best remembered for her work in the fields of the history of modern art, art criticism, renaissance art, and mannerism. She notably published authoritative works on the lives of Rosso Fiorentino, Michelangelo, and Giorgio Vasari (with Rosanna Bettarini). A graduate of the University of Florence alongside Mario Salmi, she taught at the University of Salento and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. In 1991, she received a Feltrinelli Prize from the Accademia dei Lincei alongside Enrico Castelnuovo, with whom she would go on to undertake restoration work of the Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa. She was a member of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, the Accademia dei Lincei, and the Accademia di San Luca.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
