Agnese. While the relationship between Borromini and Bernini was tense, the fountain was completed before the façade so the apparent gesture was not intentional.

It is true that the relationship between Borromini and Bernini was tense (although they did work together at one time), but the fountain was completed before the façade so the apparent gesture was not intentional. >>go farther: Palazzo Barberini, Carlo Maderno, 1625; completed by GL Bernini, c1630 ITNERARIO 6 : DAY 6 [autobus] Roma moderna • Mausoleo delle Fosse Ardeatine, Mario Fiorentino, 1945/48 • Decima and Laurentina 38 (trent'otto) • Corviale EUR ITINERARIO ALTERNATIVO : [autobus] TBA Villa Adrianna, Tivoli OR Villa d'Este, Tivoli, 1565-72 OR Villa Aldobrandini, Frascati, Maderno/C Fontana, 1598-1602 ITINERARIO ALTERNATIVO : [autobus] TBA Villa Lante (Bagnaia), Vignola, 1566- Villa Farnese (Caprarola), Vignola 1559- (original, Sangallo il giovane) • Casina.
