Take an immersive journey through Rome’s Baroque period, where we’ll delve into the masterpieces and rivalries of two visionary artists: Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. See Bernini’s dramatic flair and experience Borromini’s architectural genius while hearing stories of their intense rivalry.
Our journey begins at Palazzo Barberini, where the young Bernini and Borromini collaborated under the guidance of Maestro Carlo Maderno. Their mission tasked with building a groundbreaking residence for the Pope’s family, set a new magnificence standard.
Next, we’ll visit the Church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, Borromini’s first major commission. Here, his vision of spatial and dynamic architecture takes form, heralding a new era defined by bricks, arches, stucco, light, and geometry—a bold architectural alphabet.
We’ll then turn to Bernini at Santa Maria della Vittoria to admire his unrivaled sculptural talent in the "Ecstasy of Saint Teresa." This masterpiece, a total work of art, embodies the theatrical and mystical spirit of the Baroque.
Finally, we’ll conclude just steps away at Sant’Andrea al Quirinale, a breathtaking testament to Bernini’s genius in uniting sculpture, painting, and architecture. It stands as his architectural legacy and passport to heaven.
