...very large, from formal to intimate portraiture, from state commemoration to religious allegory. His big religious paintings, mostly for Flemish churches, are bravura performances, but none of them have the trumpeting conviction or the sheer inventiveness of Rubens'. His best paintings were his portraits and his secular allegories, like Rinaldo and Armida, 1629, done under the spell of Titian. Taken from Tasso's epic poem Jerusalem Delivered, a great favorite at Charles' court, it illustrates the moment when the sorceress Armida falls in love with the wandering Christian knight Rinaldo on glimpsing his sleeping face. The sensuous color, the glow...
...Upon retirement, a member elected before 1980 can keep this pot of money for his personal use -- a kind of IRA with no strings attached. So far, New York Democrat Stephen Solarz has piled up more than $800,000, as has Illinois Democrat Dan Rostenkowski; New Jersey Republican Matthew Rinaldo has $600,000.

And like Sills, he was long snubbed by the Metropolitan Opera, finally cracking the Met for a 1984 staging of Handel's Rinaldo. Ramey had little better luck at the country's other two major international opera houses, in Chicago and San Francisco...
Scallops of all sorts were on so many menus, in fact, that those mollusks soon may show up on the endangered-species list. Pasta was much favored, least surprisingly for a dinner given by Ambassador and Mrs. Rinaldo Petrignani, who served penne with smoked salmon to such Reagan buddies as the Walter Annenbergs, the Frank Sinatras, the Charles Wicks, Attorney General and Mrs. William French Smith and the Ed Meeses. Many of the same guests were expected to partake of pasta shells alla carbonara at a White House luncheon for 150 following the Sunday swearing-in ceremony. Pasta primavera...
