Il Forrer (1902-30, V, p. 472) riporta: Sculptor of the second half of the sixteenth century, about whom Bolzenthal makes the following comment: "Tiraboschi hardly considers Paolo Selvatico as worthy of mention, and speaks of him as a mere official in the Mints of Modena and Parma, but this is unjust. Selvatico was long in the service of Alfonso II. d'Este at Modena; he followed later Cesare d'Este to Ferrara, and ended his life in the employment of Ranuccio I. Farnese at Parma in 1606. The beautiful dies for coins which were preserved in the Mint at Milan and Royal Cabinet, and now the property of the Estes in Modena, give him a place among the great masters of the art. He also applied himself assiduously to the study of ancient coins, and his works therefore resemble the antique in many respects. Cicognara, by reason of these dies, ascribes to him a medal of Giovanni de' Medici, the reverse of which is copied from the ' Decursio' sestertius of Nero, and bears the legend: PROPVGNATORI ITALIAE. In the portrait of Giovanni de' Medici Selvatico has given such a spirited expression, and also so much softness, that one wonders at his genius. According to Zani, Selvatico was born at Florence in 1547 and died in 1606." (Bolzenthal, p. 158).
