Francesco Maria Richini (also spelled Ricchini) (9 February 1584 – 24 April 1658) was an Italian Baroque architect. He rivalled his contemporary Carlo Maderno in Rome in the intensity of his effort to discard the bonds of Counter-Reformation conservatism. Richini was an early influence of Francesco Borromini.
