| View of the St. Peter`s Basilica from the granite fountain in the Vatican City, Rome, Italy. The open space which lies before the basilica was redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini from 1656 to 1667, under the direction of Pope Alexander VII. Bernini created a perfect alignment among Maderno`s baroque facade and the oval square surrounded by the massive Doric colonnades,four columns deep, which embrace visitors in `the maternal arms of Mother Church`. The granite fountain was constructed by Bernini in 1675 and matches another fountain designed by Carlo Maderno in 1613. |
