ok so this is the court yard of st ivo in rome, the original site of the college of rome, the white enclosed dome and lantern are done by boromini, the second bigest heavy hitter of the baroque who impailed himself on a sword and if that didn't tip you off, never really caught a break. however this is one of his master peices and the spiraling lanter can be seen from a good deal of the city... asuming your high up or on an open street
