Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Giuliano Finelli

Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Giuliano Finelli is the credit for marble the two carved together, when Bernini designed and directed a work and Finelli, a young sculptor from Carrara, the town of the great marble quarries, did a large share of the cutting. Finelli came into Bernini's workshop in Rome early in Bernini's career and made his mark with the finest detail. The leaves and twigs sprouting from Daphne's fingers in Bernini's Apollo and Daphne are usually credited to him.

The partnership ended badly. Finelli felt his part went unacknowledged, and when a giant statue of Saint Helena for St Peter's Basilica, which he had hoped for, went to another assistant, Andrea Bolgi, he left the workshop and built a career of his own in Rome and Naples. How much of any shared piece is his is still argued work by work. The Palazzo Barberini, which uses this credit, calls Finelli Bernini's talented pupil and later his rival.
