Creators
Francesco Borromini (Italian architect, 1599-1667); Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Italian architect, 1598-1680)
Description
A commission that involved Borromini as an architect of both churches and palazzi was the Collegio di Propaganda Fide, the headquarters of the Catholic missionary congregation. Although he took charge of building work in 1646, his greatest contributions to shaping the palazzo belong to his last creative years. The complex includes a dormitory and chapel as well. The College was founded by Urbanus VIII for the training of missionaries. The palace is still devoted to its original purpose, but the ground floor has been converted to shopping. The facade over the Piazza di Spagna is by Bernini, whereas Borromini designed the convex and concave entrance facade facing Via Propaganda. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.groveart.com/)

Francesco Borromini (Italian architect, 1599-1667)
Description
Borromini's finest achievement here is the façade of the oratory hall. This room had special importance for the community because it was there that the form of devotion that typified their Order would be held: a sermon, discussion and exquisitely beautiful choral music. Borromini successfully achieved brilliant decorative effects, carrying on the tradition of elegant brickwork from the Roman Imperial period. The present appearance of the façade was created in several phases. The lower level, completed in 1638, was extended from five bays to seven, and a storey was added to it. In 1665 Arcucci embedded the free-standing gable into a newly added mezzanine floor, thereby diluting the original effect of the gable. Two qualities make the Oratory façade a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture: it is concave and has, on the middle bay at the lower level, a small convex projection.

This room had special importance for the community because it was there that the form of devotion that typified their Order would be held: a sermon, discussion and exquisitely beautiful choral music. Borromini successfully achieved brilliant decorative effects, carrying on the tradition of elegant brickwork from the Roman Imperial period. The present appearance of the façade was created in several phases. The lower level, completed in 1638, was extended from five bays to seven, and a storey was added to it. In 1665 Arcucci embedded the free-standing gable into a newly added mezzanine floor, thereby diluting the original effect of the gable. Two qualities make the Oratory façade a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture: it is concave and has, on the middle bay at the lower level, a small convex projection.
