The story about Borromini's church facade and Bernini's fountain is nice, but in actuality the fountain was built before the facade, so it cannot be true.

Please see the running debate in Michelangelo or for Category:Italian Roman Catholics for my reason to delete the link to this category. It represents a non-neutral agenda.CARAVAGGISTI 13:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Please see my response to Caravaggisti on the Michelangelo talk page. Caravaggisti, it seems, has made the rather absurd argument that my wanting a category designation for Italian Roman Catholics represents a "non-neutral agenda." If calling a spade a spade is a non-neutral agenda, then string me up. -Schlier22 22:38, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name listed twice

The lead section of the article says:

Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini (Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini; December 7, 1598November 28, 1680) was a pre-eminent Baroque sculptor and architect of 17th century Rome.

Why list his name twice: "Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini (Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini; ..."? AecisBrievenbus 21:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I concur with Aecis. Why is his name written twice?

Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini (Giovanni Lorenzo Bernini; December 7, 1598 – November 28, 1680) was a pre-eminent Baroque sculptor and architect of 17th century Rome.
