Aged nine, he was sent by his father to Milan to learn the art of stone carving. Then, in 1619 he moved to Rome to take part in the construction of the basilica of San Pietro directed by Carlo Maderno, a distant relative and master. Thanks to his talent and tireless work, Borromini soon gained the title of master builder. Upon Maderno\u2019s death, he worked under the renowned architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini with whom he later had a rather conflictual, collaborating at the construction of the basilica of San Pietro. Once awarded the title of architect by Bernini, Borromini started an independent career. Among his best-known works are the Church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane with the adjoining convent and the Church of Sant\u2019Ivo alla Sapienza, seen as his masterpiece. Borromini died in Rome in 1667.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"
