Editing Pope Paul V (section)

===Constructions===
In Rome, the pope financed the completion of [[St. Peter's Basilica]]; this is noted in the Latin inscription across the facade of the Basilica, ''IN HONOREM PRINCIPIS APOST. PAULUS V BURGHESIUS ROMANUS PONT. MAX. AN. MDCXII PONT VII'' ("In honour of the Prince of the Apostles Paul V Borghese, Supreme Roman Pontiff, in the year 1612, the 7th year of his pontificate"). He also improved the [[Vatican Library]], separating out the [[Vatican Apostolic Archive]]s. He restored the [[Aqua Traiana]], an ancient [[Roman aqueduct]] (named after him ''[[Acqua Paola]]''), bringing water to the [[rione|rioni]] located on right bank of the [[Tiber]] ([[Trastevere]] and [[Borgo (rione of Rome)|Borgo]]) using materials from his demolition of the [[Forum of Nerva]]. He had always encouraged [[Guido Reni]]. Like many Popes of the time he was also allegedly guilty of [[nepotism]], and his nephew [[Scipione Borghese]] wielded enormous power on his behalf, consolidating the rise of the Borghese family.

Paul V also established the [[Bank of the Holy Spirit]] in 1605.
