  Doria Pamphilj Gallery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was Olimpia Maidalchini's son Camillo Pamphilij who defying his powerful mother, renounced the Cardinalship conferred on him by his uncle the Pope, to marry the widowed Olimpia Borghese.
Following Camillo Pamphilj's death in 1666, the building continued under the auspices of his two sons Giovanni Battista (his heir) and Benedetto.
One of Camillo and Olimpia's daughters, Anna Pamphlij, married the Genoese aristocrat Giovanni Andrea III Doria Landi in 1671, and it was their descendents who inherited the Palazzo when the Roman branch of the Pamphlilj family ended in 1760.

At one point the aqueduct crosses the street with an arch nicknamed "tiradiavoli" (devil puller) because, according to legend, it was here that a carriage driven by devils and carrying the ghost of the sister-in-law of Pope Innocent X, Olimpia Maidalchini, called "la Pimpaccia", would pass by.
The name of the terrible woman, hated by the Romans for her wickedness, is also connected with the Fountain of the Snail, which originally was meant to adorn the space in front of Palazzo Pamphilij in Piazza Navona.
The woman did not like the lovely shell, carved by Bernini, judging it to be too small and modest, and sent it to the villa outside the city walls, while on the piazza the splendid Fountain of the Moor was installed instead.

 Quirinal Hill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formerly it housed Mussolini's ministry of colonial affairs.
The church of Sant'Andrea al Quirinale was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1658-1671), for Cardinal Camillo Pamphilij (nephew of Pope Innocent X), and is one of most elegant samples of baroque architecture in Rome, with its well known oval plan and its splendid interiors of marbles, stuccoes, gilt decorations).
The four fountains (Quattro Fontane) and Borromini's church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane [2] (or San Carlino - originally Chiesa della Santissima Trinità e di San Carlo Borromeo), the first work of this architect and the last one: the façade was completed after his death.

Innocent X was close to the Oratorians but his nephew Camillo was not a generous patron of the printing press, except for a book on his own villa.
Bernini, Cardinal Francesco Borromini, Cortona, Innocent X ("de i sospetti del quale non fù alcuno immune"), Alexander VII, Camillo Pamphilij, Oratio Falconieri, Andrea Giustiniani, Cardinal Ulderico Carpegna, Cardinal Bernardino Spada and the Congregazione della Propaganda Fide are all invoked as witnesses to Borromini's qualities.
Around 1647 or 1648 he began to work for Prince Camillo Pamphilj, and he is documented in the service of the Pamphilj all through the period 1653-59, even though the great book on the family villa that includes many Barrière etchings did not appear until about 1670.
