ABOUT BORROMI Before Borromini, indeed, the ancient heritage, correctness and proportionality of forms were valued more. And then a young man appeared who, at his own will, bends space, makes facades dance and flutter in the wind and creates optical effects that make the heart stop. Not everyone liked Borromini, especially in conservative Rome. But no one could help but recognize his talent. Where does all this expressiveness come from? Of course, from his restless nature. He was a real choleric, falling into degression, missing all deadlines and exploding with scandals even in the presence of the customer ... Despite his talent, they were simply afraid to turn to him. There was no talk of the ability to behave in society and make useful connections. That is why he was always in Bernini's shadow, that is why the latter was inundated with orders one after another, and Borromini created his drawings for the drawer. He was so homesick for his homeland, Ticino, that he tried to reproduce the waves on the lake caused by the wind in his facades. Everything was seething inside him so much that even the space in his projects pulsates and twists. He did not have a single straight line, a single right angle, a single ill-considered detail. No matter how chaotic his projects seemed to us, everything was carefully calculated and followed mathematical laws. He inscribed triangles in circles, ovals in octagons, their number and shapes in Borromini followed esoteric laws. Yes, many call him a mason because they still cannot decipher his messages. And he actually belonged to a secret society of masons, the Comacino Masters. They met behind closed doors in Rome, but they all came from Ticino. Yes, since the Middle Ages, it was its members who built all the important cathedrals! Just as mysterious as Borromini's plans, his death is also. He committed suicide, but remained conscious for several hours, reading his will. He ordered all his notes and sketches to be destroyed. Was he afraid that his ideas would be used by someone else, or that his secret plan would be revealed so early?
