Though the Baroque style affected all arts, unique characteristics of architecture started emerging such as and emphasis on detailed sculpting, unique characters, and un-repeating patterns. Baroque architecture was quickly embraced by Southern Italy with works like Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza in Rome and Basilica dei Santa Croce.
