 Carlo Maderno Biography / Biography of Carlo Maderno Biography Biography
Carlo Maderno was born at Capolago on Lake Lugano.
Maderno started from the type established by Giacomo da Vignola's design for, and Giacomo della Porta's executed version of, the Church of the Gesù in Rome, but the significance of Maderno's contribution lies in his reversal of Della Porta's alterations to Vignola's design.
Among Maderno's other works are the church of S. Maria della Vittoria (1605; facade by G. Soria, 1626) and the church of S. Andrea della Valle (1608-1628; facade completed by Carlo Rainaldi in 1665), which has the largest dome in Rome after St. Peter's.

As already mentioned in the foreword of this section, the ones presently located within the boundaries of the Vatican City (see pictures on the right) will not be taken into consideration, except the two in St.Peter's Square, which despite the extraterritorial status may be still considered one of Rome's landmarks.
Maderno maintained its lower basin; instead the top half was replaced with a similar element, still shaped as a basin but turned upside down, i.e.
Maderno's fountain was moved to the left (southern) half of the square, while its twin was set in the opposite half, not far from the spot where the medieval fountain at first, and then the same one by Maderno, had previously stood.

The $A8 million cleaning job involved removing centuries of grime that had accumulated since the façade, which was designed by Carlo Maderno, was erected in the early 17th century.
However, critics claimed that the colouring was not part of Maderno's original design and had been added in the 18th century.
Carlo Bertelli, a noted art expert, told Corriere della Sera newspaper that he believed the restorers had gone further and "augmented" the colours, "destroying the great building's unity and integrity".

Construction continued on through the beginning of the 17th century when, in 1612, Carlo Maderno was commissioned to extend the nave of the church and create a monumental facade.
He had to at once give Maderno's overpowering facade greater breadth while hiding the irregularly placed buildings of the Vatican palace, as well as harmoniously incorporating the extant obelisk re-erected in front of the basilica in 1586.
Bernini's solution was to design a piazza in the form of an ellipse, bordered by a quadruple colonnade forming a portico wide enough to let carriages pass.

The work of Carlo Maderno in Rome represented the first pure statement of the principles that became the basis of most of the architecture of the Western world in the 17th century.
Maderno's Santa Susanna facade is an integrated design in which each element contributes to the central culminating feature.
Maderno also conceived the facade as part of an integrated unit, including the two-story church and one-story associated areas to either side, and thereby gave form to the Baroque desire to associate buildings, street façades, and squares in a continuous whole.

He came to Rome in 1619 to work as apprentice to his cousin Carlo Maderno, who was at the time building the atrium of St. Peter's Basilica.
Both Borromini and Bernini worked with Maderno during the construction of Palazzo Barberini (1624-34), but when Bernini was entrusted with the supervision of the site after Maderno's death in 1629 the two men fell out and were thereafter lifelong rivals.
The spiral staircase of Palazzo Barberini, the church of San Carlo al Quirinale (Borromini's first independent commission), the Oratory of the order of S. Filippo Neri, the church of S.

The Italian architect Carlo Maderno (1556-1629) was the creator of the early baroque style in architecture.
In its original form the Gesù facade had a slight emphasis on the center, building up from the pilasters at the edges to attached columns in the middle.
This extension of the basilica was undoubtedly necessary from the point of view of practical requirements, but it destroyed Michelangelo's great conception and substituted something less impressive, since the great dome can no longer be appreciated from every point of view.

The Italian poet, prose writer, and dramatist Carlo Gozzi was a fierce and skillful defender of the traditional Italian commedia dell'arte form against the dramatic innovations of Pietro Chiari and Carlo Goldoni.
The prolific Italian dramatist Carlo Goldoni rejuvenated the well-established Italian commedia dell'arte dramatic form by replacing its masked stock figures with more realistic characters, its loosely structured and often repetitive action with tightly constructed plots, and its predictable farce with a new spirit of gaiety and spontaneity.

Maderno was given the task of completing St. Peter's; he added 3 nave bays and a narthex to the west end of the earlier church, thus making Michelangelo's central plan into the more traditional basilica.
Like Santa Susanna, the facade builds toward the center; the spacing of architectural elements is closer and pilasters become columns as the facade steps out progressively.
When Maderno added to the nave, the dome was then pushed further from the facade of the church.

Architect Carlo Maderno built the Baroque facade at the behest of Pope Paul V, who thought Michelangelo's original basilica wasn't grandiose enough.

An exhaustive series of scientific tests were also performed at ENI labs in Milan that show a patina of color between the grime and the travertine, he and ENI executives said.

 la Repubblica of the Arts
Director of this disgraceful operation at the Pantheon was naturally Carlo Maderno assisted by Francesco Castelli who had not yet taken the surname of Borromini, inspired by the great devotion that he, as a fellow Lombard, had for Carlo Borromeo, the greatest of the Lombardy saints of his time.
In fact, it tormented him for the rest of his life if one considers that still in 1665, the year before his tragic death, the Master was still working on the definitive facade of the church that he was never to see and which was completed later on.
In short, in the convent and church of San Carlo the Borromini "problem" is very clear.

He was working with Maderno on S. Pietro in Vaticano when Maderno died in 1629.
Borromini accused Bernini of exploiting his (Borromini's) skills and knowledge to become the favored architect of Rome's "great families." In fact, both Borromini and Bernini sought and received high level Roman patronage, and the fact that they were appealing to the same rich families made their rivalry even more bitter.
It was said that Bernini finally nominated Borromini as architect for the proposed church of S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane to be rid of him at S. Pietro.
