The palace was first
. . . planned by CarloMaderno, the construction of which
was continued with the help of Borromini, his nephew. On
the death of Maderno (1629), Gianlorenzo Bernini became
manager of the building site; he continued to use the
help of the young man from Ticino until 1632.

The great winding staircase (based
on the classic model of the Caprarola Palace), the doors to
the main room (even if limited by the Bernini plan), the
side windows next to the gallery in the facade - |
important in the development of
the baroque style in Roma and copied from those of his uncle
in the facade of 5t.Peter's, and those on the opposite side
clearly influenced by Michelange10 but with a bizarre
anthropomorphic connotation which make them look like masks,
can be attributed to Francesco Borromini. |
