Bernini's colonnade, all cleaned up!
The Barberini bees, on one of the four (Bernini) columns supporting the baldacchino. Tucked under the central volute is a baby's face. The other three column bases show the mother, just pregnant. Then more pregnant with the shield behind the bees bulging out more and more, and the mom's face -- where the baby's is here -- contorted in labor. And then finally -- the baby!
