He was the son of a Florentine sculptor, he fused architecture, painting and sculpture.  His dynamic use of these new forms are credited with creating Baroque style of architecture.  He served under eight different popes and contributed to major works in Rome including St. Peter’s Basilica, the Fountain of the Four Rivers and this section of the oval church he designed, Sant’ Andrea al Quirinale.
