Do not pass by this small church at the crossroads of four fountains. Borromini himself considered it his best creation and constantly improved something until his death and wanted to be buried there, but his grave was in another Fiorentine church in Rome, next to his uncle Carlo Moderna.
Borromini's project won the competition with other architects, his eternal rival Bernini admired this work. the church, according to the terms of the order, must be in the obem pillar of the church of St. Peter in the Vatican. Borromini managed in such a small volume to create the illusion of a large space.
