Sant' Ivo (Corso del Rinascimento)
Begun in 1642 and finished in 1660, this is one of Borromini's masterpieces, along with San Carlo alle Quattro Fontae. The church has an original hexagonal form, with corners alternatively rounded or pointed. From the outside one notes the dome with its curious spiral lantern. The church is situated to the east of the Sapienza Palace, behind a beautiful courtyard decorated by arches, the work of Giacomo della Porta. |
