Paolo Isotta (born October 18, 1950) is an Italian musicologist and writer.
Isotta graduated from the University of Naples, where he studied classic Letters and law. He also studied piano with Vincenzo Vitale and composition with Renato Parodi and Renato Dionisi.
He was the musical critic for the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera from 1980 to 2015 and for other journals such as Il Giornale.
In 2013 he published a critical article against Daniel Harding and, indirectly, Claudio Abbado, following which Stéphane Lissner, La Scala's director, declared him "non-pleasant person".
He wrote several books of musical criticism, among these one on the influence of the music in the Works of Thomas Mann.
