Proof that, sometimes, Bernini did pay the employees, even Borromini.

Agostino Ciampelli was, obviously, another of his many brothers in law.

From the exhibition Bernini e i Barberini, Palazzo Barberini.

!!! Unexpected Borromini Tour Achievement.

At Santa Maria Maggiore they dropped the velvet rope and here it is: the (amost impossible to photograph) Merlini's monument designed by Francesco Borromini, 1641-1642.
