The rivalry between the brilliant seventeenth-century Italian
architects Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini is the stuff
of legend. Enormously talented and ambitious artists, they met as
contemporaries in the building yards of St. Peter's in Rome, became
the greatest architects of their era by designing some of the most
beautiful buildings in the world, and ended their lives as bitter
enemies. Engrossing and impeccably researched, full of dramatic
tension and breathtaking insight, "The Genius in the Design" is the
remarkable tale of how two extraordinary visionaries schemed and
maneuvered to get the better of each other and, in the process,
created the spectacular Roman cityscape of today.
