Paolo Petrini (c. 1670 - 1722) was an Italian bookseller, engraver, and publisher active in Naples at the turn of the 18th century. He was not primarily a cartographer, but rather a publisher and engraver, and as such his maps are cartographically derivative of Nicolas (1600 - 1667), Guillaume Sanson (1633 - 1703), Nicolas De Fer (1646 - 1720), and Giacomo Cantelli da Vignola (1643 - 1695). He issued allegorical prints (many made after Painter Luca Giordano), a handful of wall maps, and his supremely rare 1700 atlas, Atlante Partenopeo. After his death in 1722, the firm was taken over by his son, Michele Angelo Petrini, who reissued some of his works. Little else is known of Petrini, whose life is as obscure as his works are rare.
