Summary
More than any other architect , Bernini changed the face of Rome. He restored the city from a dowdy medieval town to the Eternal City. His architectural plans as well as his works of sculpture show a mind that loved to grapple with difficult problems which would eventually produce a simple and elegant solution. He was a classicist in the Roman tradition, but he combined elements in new ways. This video explores a number of his most important projects for buildings and city planning which left an imprint on the character of modern Rome.
