Listen "Saint Peter’s Visionaries"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the artistic rivalry and collaboration between Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini, the visionaries who shaped Baroque Rome. From Bernini’s theatrical Baldacchino at Saint Peter’s to Borromini’s innovative curves at San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, their works transformed architecture into an emotional and spiritual experience. Through their masterpieces, we uncover how their contrasting styles pushed the boundaries of art and redefined Rome as the global center of Baroque grandeur.
