PALAZZO BARBERINIThe palazzo is disposed around a forecourt

centered on Bernini's grand two-storey hallbacked by an oval salone, with an extended

wing dominating the piazza

The main block presents three tiers of great

arch-headed windows, like glazed arcades,

a formula that was more Venetian than

Roman.

Borromini's windows are set in a false

perspective that suggests extra depth, a

feature that has been copied into the

20th century.
