Raphael Nannini (1852 in Florence, Italy - 1925 in Lastra a Signa, Italy) was an Italian sculptor who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. He worked as a sculptor in Italy, but also lived with his sister Maria, also a sculptor, at the beginning of the 20th century in Les Fusains, an artists' colony located at the foot of Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. There, he created works in the Art Nouveau and early Art Deco styles, which were handcrafted and distributed, among others, by the Les Neveux foundries of Jules Lehmann and Edmond Etling. Nannini exhibited his works at exhibitions such as the XXVII Salon d'Automne in 1897 at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, which featured a marble bust of Pope Leo XIII, and at the Salons Société des Artistes Français in Paris, which featured his plaster bust Portrait of Madame Florence Gromier and his plaster sculpture Cimateur in 1909.
