THE RIVALRY OF TWO 17th CENTURY ITALIAN ARCHITECTS

NARRATED IN ENGLISH by Remo Anzovino

This is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity.
