Manhattan gallery-hoppers found a refreshing change last week from the usual abstract-expressionist slatherings. Rome's Domenico Gnoli, an Old World newcomer of 26. exhibited a sheaf of big, clear-cut, conservative drawings at the Bianchini Gallery, found himself famed and in the money. What attracted critics and buyers alike was Gnoli's obvious mastery, modesty and calm. Though not the greatest virtues possible to art, these qualities are currently rare-and as delightful as cold water after a binge...
Italy's muff-haired Domenico Modugno, a guitar-plunking crooner with a gypsy wail, turns out lyrics that make no sense, and he cannot read the music he composes and sings. But last year his song Volare (To Fly) was the world's biggest hit, with 7,000,000 records sold, including 2,000,000 for Decca Records in the U.S. alone. Last week Modugno, glowing in a powder-blue tuxedo, weepily twanged his latest effort, Piove (It's Raining), at the annual San Remo Song Festival, walked off with the festival prize-no cash...

That statement itself was enough for old Vatican hands to sense a new atmosphere; under Pius XII, who made a point of keeping the Polish and Lithuanian envoys as anti-Communist symbols, there had not been any reference...
Surrounded by friends and family, Domenico Tardini, 70, received the Pope's messenger bringing him official notification of his elevation to the cardinalate. In his acceptance speech, the new Vatican Secretary of State recalled that he had refused a red hat from the late Pope Pius XII. Then he added: "The truth is, I wanted to be left in peace. Pope Pius never made anybody do or not do anything. But Pope John has said 'I wish it.' and I have to obey...
...Domenico Tardini, 70, is the most important man at the Vatican after the Pope. As Secretary of State, he is a combination of prime minister and foreign secretary-a field he has been thoroughly familiar with as Pius XII's Pro-Secretary of State for Extraordinary Affairs. He is a jovial lover of art and music, with a Vatican reputation for caustic wit. His hobby: Villa Nazareth, an orphanage for boys, which he founded...
