Barberini Palace (via delle Quattro Fontane)
This is one of the most important examples of Roman baroque, begun in 1625 by Carlo Maderno with the help of Boromini, according to the desires of Urban VIII, the Barberini pope. After Maderno's death, Bernini was given the post and in 1633 completed the palace. The central building is flanked on both sides by two wings of three levels,extending on each end as far as the ornate vistas from the loggia. Bernini's facade is stupendous: Doric in the porticles and arcades, Ionic on the first floor, and Corinthian on the topfloor. Since 1949 the palace has contained the National Gallery of Antique Art.
