Nel 1632 Francesco Borromini fu incaricato da papa Urbano VIII di completare la costruzione della chiesa di San'Ivo alla Sapienza, che doveva costituire la cappella dell'Università. La progettazione fu condizionata dalla preesistenza del cortile e del palazzo realizzati da Giacomo della Porta. Bisognava sfruttare il più possibile un'area quadrata. Borromini scelse di sviluppare il suo progetto verso l'alto, con lo slancio della cupola che con la sua luminosità inondante suggerisce l'idea di una altezza irraggiungibile. Internamente è divisa in sei spicchi, ognuno dei quali definito ai lati da una serie di otto stelle, la cui dimensione diminuisce man mano che si sale. In ogni spicchio si apre un finestrone, su cui sono gli elementi dello stemma di Alessandro VII Chigi, sotto il cui pontificato la chiesa fu completata.
