ARCHITECTS AND LANDSCAPE- 
best work is seen in the Boboli garden and in the court of the Pa- 
lazzo Pitti, while the bridge of the S. Trinita is considered his master- 
piece. In Rome he built the fine facades of the Palazzo Ruspoli 
and of the Collegio Romano. The rusticated loggia of the Villa Fonte 
all' Erta is ascribed to him. 
BERNINI (GIOVANNI LORENZO) 
1 598- 1680 
Bernini, a Neapolitan by birth, was the greatest Italian architect and 
sculptor of the seventeeth century. One of his masterpieces in archi- 
tecture is the church of S. Andrea al Noviziato on the Quirinal, and 
among his other works in Rome are : the piazza and colonnade of St. 
Peter’s, the Scala Regia in the Vatican, the Palazzo di Monte Citorio, 
and the fountains of Trevi and the Tritone ; at Pistoja the Villa Ros- 
pigliosi, at Terni the cathedral, and at Ravenna the Porta Nuova. 
BORROMINI (FRANCESCO) 
1599- 1667 
Borromini, a pupil of Maderna, was, next to Bernini, the most original 
and brilliant exponent of baroque architecture in Italy. He was born 
in Lombardy, but worked principally in Rome. Among his best- 
known buildings are the church of St. Agnes on the Piazza Navona, 
that of San Carlo alle quattro fontane, and the College of the Propa- 
ganda Fide. In conjunction with Bernini and Maderna, he built the 
Palazzo Barberini in Rome. Some of his best work is seen in the 
Villa Falconieri at Frascati. 
BRAMANTE (DONATO) 
1444-15 14 
Bramante was born at Urbino, but executed all his early work in 
Milan, producing the church of S. Maria delle Grazie, the Ospedale 
Maggiore, and the sacristy of San Satiro, which he not only built, but 
decorated internally. In Lombardy the early Renaissance of building 
is called the Bramantesque style. Bramante’s works in Rome are : the 
Tempietto of San Pietro in Montorio, the palace of the Cancelleria, a 
part of the Vatican, and a part of the Palazzo di San Biagio.
