Paolo Maurensig is an Italian novelist, best known for the book Canone Inverso (1996), a complex tale of a violin and its owners. It is the only of his books that has been translated into English. The translator was Jenny McPhee.

Of Canone Inverso, the New York Times Book Review said in 1999 that Maurensig's writing, especially the interlocking narratives, recalled German Romantic writers such as E. T. A. Hoffman, Joseph von Eichendorff, and Isak Dinesen. Reviewer Jonathan Keates said, "The mournful beauty of this sparely proportioned, soberly recounted story owes much to the sense Maurensig subtly imparts that Jeno's loneliness is a species of infection communication itself to every other character in the book. Drawing on the artistic techniques of both the 18th and the 19th centuries, he pronounces a gloomy verdict ont he various types of human alienation created by the 20th." NPR said that the book had developed a "cult following."
