Pedro Paulo Bruno (October 14, 1888 – February 2, 1949) was a Brazilian painter, singer, poet, and landscaper of Italian origin.

Originally from Casalbuono, in the province of Salerno, they settled in the island of Paquetá, in a house at 105 Praia da Guarda.

At that time, upon the death of a child whose parents wanted to have his portrait, Bruno was hastily summoned and right there at the funeral, although a little scared, drew the picture.

In 1897, when painter Giovanni Battista Castagneto, also of Italian origin, was visiting Paquetá, Bruno immediately became friends with him, offering to carry his easel, palette and brushes for the different parts of the island that the artist was portraying.

In 1905, at age 14, he embarked to Italy to study at the Conservatories of Naples and of Rome, from where he returned graduated in bel canto.
