Giacomo Antonio Ponsonelli

Giacomo Antonio Ponsonelli (1654–1735) was an Italian late-Baroque sculptor.

Born in Massa Carrara, where he first worked under his father, Giovanni Ponsonelli, a sculptor, in Finale Liguria and Savona.

He worked in Genoa under his father-in-law Filippo Parodi for many years and was involved in portraiture.

His portrait of Marcantonio Grillo is in the Albergo dei Poveri in Genoa.

His pupil, Pasquale Bocciardo (c. 1710 – c. 1791), completed posthumously the dramatic high altar for the church of Nostra Signora delle Vigne in Genoa.
