The baroque architect, priest, and polymath, Guarino Guarini (1624–1683), designed seventeen architectural works and wrote ten treatises on a multitude of subjects, including architecture, mathematics and astronomy. The Church of San Lorenzo in Turin (1668–1687) is an elegant expression of these principles in built form, with a dome resembling the celestial sphere, connecting the church to the cosmos.
