The floorplan of a building designed by this man consists of an equilateral triangle with a semicircle added to each side and a sector cut out from each corner. For his first independent commission, he designed a building around a pre-existing fountain featuring the River Tiber sitting under an oak tree next to a she-wolf. This nephew of Carlo Maderno worked on the Sant'Agnese in Agone, whose position on the Piazza Navona led to an urban legend that the figure of the Nile in the Fountain of the Four Rivers raises his hand to shield himself against its ugliness. This architect designed a building whose dome is tessellated with octagonal, hexagonal, and cross-shaped coffers surrounding a dove hovering below the lantern. He placed a corkscrew lantern atop his design for Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza. For 10 points, name this Italian Baroque architect of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, who loved undulating walls and ovals and hated Bernini.
