SwitzerlandThe man who gave St. Peter's Basilica the face the world knows — and in doing so, helped invent the language of Baroque.
About
Born in 1556 in what is now Ticino, Switzerland, Maderno worked in Italy at the hinge between Renaissance reserve and Baroque drama. His façade for Santa Susanna became a template, but the commission that secured his name was St. Peter's: he extended Michelangelo's plan and designed the front that still dominates the square. Sant'Andrea della Valle followed, another anchoring work in Rome's transformation. He died on 31 January 1629, leaving a city reshaped and a style that would sweep Europe.
