Rainaldi, who had adapted for the Farnese two monumental antique granite basins as matching fountains in Piazza Farnese in 1626, was taken to Parma by the Farnese to build their town palaces there, and also did the vaulting of Santissima Annunziata in that city.
Rainaldi was also active in Bologna, where he designed the vaulting to cover the vast and ambitious church of San Petronio (finished on-site by Francesco Martini), and designed the Church of Santa Lucia (1623).
Girolamo Rainaldi is modestly buried next to his father in the Church of Santi Martina e Luca; designed in part by Rainaldi's father, and part by Pietro da Cortona.

In 1634 he had his first personal work, the reconstruction of the church of San Carlo Borromeo (some authors say it is here that he changed his name).
For Sant'Agnese in Agone, he reverted the original plan of Girolamo Rainaldi (and his son Carlo), which previously had main entrance on via dell'Anima.

Adriano Rainaldi (b Norcia; d Rome, Aug 1597) was a painter and architect who became a member of the Accademia di San Luca, Rome, in 1554; he executed frescoes in the choir of Giacomo della Porta’s S Luigi dei Francesi (consecrated 1589), Rome.
His son (1) Girolamo Rainaldi was active as an architect in Rome and northern Italy, working mainly in a conservative style.
Girolamo’s son (2) Carlo Rainaldi, the most notable member of the family, was involved with some of the most impressive architectural projects in Rome in the 17th century, developing a style that was a highly individual version of the Roman High Baroque.

 Piazza Navona
Work started in 1652, but one year later Francesco Borromini replaced Rainaldi and modified almost entirely the design of the façade, which was expanded to include parts of the Pamphili palace, thus gaining space to erect the two bell towers.
Although Rainaldi modified some aspects of the façade, of the towers and of the dome the overall impression is of consistency in style.
Agnese represented the solution vainly pursued for St Peter's by Bernini and it became a model for having a balance between the dome and the façade of a church.

Both the Palazzo Nuovo and the Palazzo dei Conservatori were designed as twins by Michelangelo and built respectively by Girolamo Rainaldi (under Innocent X) and Giacomo della Porta (after 1563).
The Palazzo Senatorio, however, with a facade that is attributed to Rainaldi and Della Porta (although there was an earlier project by Michelangelo) stands on the historcal site of the Tabularium and is distinguished by its converging flights of stairs, designed by Michelangelo and built while the artist was still alive.
Inside is a series of famous rooms, including the Sala delle Bandiere that of the Carroccio (or Chariot) The Green Room, The Yellow Room and the large Council Hall where the Senate Tribune met.

 Villas of the Papal Nobility - UNESCO World Heritage Centre
Because they were relatively close together  and also because in all the projects the natural environment was clearly part of the original conception, these villas came to form a high level residential system that deeply influenced the development of the whole countryside.
A close relationship with nature is ever present in the decorations: cascades of flowers, themes centred on the countryside, reflections on the passage of time and of the seasons, airy architectural fancies framing spectacular views, loggias transformed into trompe l'oeil arcades with decorations recalling Antiquity and the Bible.
A nymphaeum was erected on the hills behind the villa and connected to the upper formal garden by an imposing double staircase; the secret garden on the Eastern side was adorned with an octagonal fountain.

After the purchase of land and vineyards and the concession of water from the Acqua Felice aqueduct in the first decade of the 17th century, work on the construction of the palace began in 1612 and was virtually completed in one year.
Whereas the sculptures which were to decorate the building, the construction of the aviary by Girolamo Rainaldi (1617-1619) and the landscaping of the garden took until circa 1620.
Apart from the contribution made by the Flemish architect Vasanzio, the architectural features are to be attributed above all to Flaminio Ponzio, an extraordinary architect in whom the Pope and the cardinal placed absolute trust.

First built in 1618-19, and then enlarged with the addition of a transept and a vaulted presbytery in 1642-48, this church is known from several Rainaldi drawings in the convent archives that show it in the context of other houses on the block (Fig.
It seems that Girolamo Rainaldi was asked to design the facade ornament in 1648, probably for the reason that he was the closest living link with the world of the Gesù.

In 1655 Pope Innocentius X died and soon Borromini lost the support of Prince Camillo Pamphili who recalled Carlo Rainaldi, who completed the façade by 1666.
Santa Agnese represented the solution vainly pursued for St Peter's by Bernini and it became a model for having a balance between the dome and the façade of a church.

Their most fruitful consultation was with Girolamo Rainaldi.
He tells how Innocent X was determined to have a facade of great length, 384 palmi, and views down a seemingly endless enfilade: "le fughe delle camere massime verso Piazza Navona non hanno simile." Girolamo Rainaldi is given credit for the facade but Borromini for the gallery and the salone.
Much of the text is about the daring salone vault, the "volta reale à schifo" that confounded the skeptics, including the masons, who thought that such a large room, unbuttressed on two sides, would surely have to be covered with a wooden ceiling.

The existing facade is the work of Giacomo della Porta and Girolamo Rainaldi (1578-82) but retains Michelangelo's idea of masking the medieval towers still visible in the picture above and in the next one (where the front of the Palace starts looking like what we can see today - after Michelangelo's renovations)
Inside the palace the second and third floors were transformed into one big hall in place of the two medieval rooms.

Alice Jarrard focuses on the ambitious Italian patron, Duke Francesco d¿Este of Modena, who deployed art works strategically for his exiled family.
Drawing from vital Italian court traditions for his festival practices, the duke imported opera theater designs from Venice and called on famed Roman artists, including Girolamo Rainaldi, Francesco Borromini, Pietro da Cortona, and Gianlorenzo Bernini, to create portraits and palaces.
The duke¿s spectacular image informed Este projects in Rome, and through his designer Vigarani, who was summoned to Paris to build a theater, shaped the early cultural practice of Louis XIV.
