entry description
Francesco Borromini's elliptical staircase in the Piazza Barberini, Rome, Italy. The staircase is "helicoidal", hence it follows the principle of turning on its rotational axis in an oval, descending in size as it reaches up. The complexity of this architectural masterpiece fits with the eccentric spirit Borromini exhibited in life.about the photographer
