Gianlorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) and Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) were
the two leading architects who contributed to the city's Baroque
heritage more than any other artists in Rome. Two absolute masters, no
doubt, but with very different personalities.
I googled across this very entertaining YouTube offering that not only explains some of the differences between the two, but also will help you improve your Italian (once you figure out which language he is speaking).
