The awe inspiring vault in the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome, a masterpiece of Roman Baroque architecture, by Francesco Borromini, once-forgotten genius of the 17th century, was born Francesco Castelli on 25 September 1599.

The church is dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, a cardinal and Archbishop of Milan, was ordained priest on 04 September 1563; later canonized a saint by Pope Paul V (who was born Camillo Borghese, 17 September 1550). A prominent figure in the Catholic Church's Counter-Reformation, St. Charles established seminaries, colleges and communities for the education of candidates for holy orders; he is the patron saint of bishops, catechists, cardinals, seminarians, spiritual directors and spiritual leaders.
