Giovanni Stradone or Giovanni Stradóne (10 November 1911, in Nola – 6 February 1981, in Rome) was an Italian painter. He was a figurative painter who worked in a personal expressionist style. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1948 Summer Olympics, where he won a silver medal.
