The Congregation of the Oratory, deriving from a confraternity, founded as a Religious Order in the central area of Rome in the late 16th century. It had competitive or cooperative relations with other new Religious Orders in the different situations, and developed together. As an Oratorian architect, Borromini utilized his restrictions, overcame difficulties, and completed the architecture. Although the oval refectory was a representational insance, the Oratorians, who sought a modest design, refused Borromini's creativity. The Trinitari Scalzi appreciated Borromini and accomplished San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane smoothly, which was a precedent to remove the Oratorians' anxiety for Borromini's project.
