Bernini - His Life and His Rome - Amazing!

Bernini - His Life and His Rome by Franco Mormando is an absolutely amazing read!  I was set on this path by reading Four Seasons in Rome and viewing the transforming Apollo and Daphne in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, Italy.  The book goes into both Bernini's life and that of Baroque Rome of the 1600s.  Not only was Bernini a sculpture, he was an artist and architect too.  He lived to be very old and worked for many popes.  The book brings alive the Rome of the day.  Absolutely amazing!
