	CNN - Navy to let admiral accused of adultery, ethics violations retire - December 3, 1998
		Scudi, a one-star admiral, was found guilty at a non-judicial proceeding called an "Admiral's mast," also known as an Article 15 hearing, of three counts of improperly steering military contracts to a woman, with whom he had an adulterous affair over several years.
		Scudi was also accused of having an affair with a senior Navy civilian employee in addition to his affair with the contractor.
		Scudi has been selected for promotion to a two-star admiral, so if approved by the Secretary of Navy, the request for retirement at a lower rank would mean a loss of as much as $17,700 a year, or as much as $585,000 over the remainder of his expected lifespan.

		The idea behind Team in Training is for runners such as Markee and Scudi to develop sponsorship for individual leukemia patients through their own training for major marathon events such as the California International Marathon on Dec. 6 in Sacramento.
		Scudi, like Markee, has found Team in Training to be such an enticing mix of personal satisfaction and physical well-being, she has almost let it take over her life.
		In the past few months, Scudi has become the campaign's coordinator for northern Nevada and is in the midst of attempting to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia Society's Northern Nevada Office.

	GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA - LoveToKnow Article on GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA
		But the legality of the new appointment was disputed on the ground that Palestrina was married, and the father of four children, his wife, Lucrezia, being still alive; and, though, for the moment, the popes will was law, the case assumed a different complexion after his death, which took place only five weeks afterwards.
		This cruel disappointment caused Palestrina a dangerous illness; but in October 1555 he was appointed maestro di cappella at the Lateran, without forfeiting his pension; and in February 1561 he exchanged this preferment for a similar one, with an allowance of 16 scudi per month, at Santa Maria Maggiore.
		He also succeeded Animuccia as maestro di cappella at the oratory of Philip Neri; but these appointments were far from lucrative, and he still remained a very poor man. A letter of thanks for 100 scudi, written on the 21st of March 1579 to the duke of Mantua, illustrates this situation.

	Admiral Convicted of Steering Contracts to Lover -- 12/03/1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Avoiding the public spectacle of a court martial and a possible prison sentence, Rear Admiral John Scudi, 54, accepted a finding of guilt, thus allowing the Navy to bring to a speedy conclusion a matter that otherwise might have caused the service embarrassment and scrutiny.
		Navy officials said Wednesday Scudi's agreement to request retirement at the rank of captain instead of admiral would result in a cut in Scudi's pension of $17,700 a year.
		Scudi was found guilty of violating the Pentagon's ethics regulations, making a false official statement, obtaining services under false pretenses, obstructing justice and committing perjury.

	5 Scudi Gold Coin - 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		The inspiration for the new 5 scudi gold coin is one of the most famous paintings of the genius from Vinci, the Annunciation painted between 1475 and 1478 which is on pubblic display in the Uffizi Galleries in Florence.
		Both the 5 scudi of November 1996 with the first Pietà by Michelangelo as well as the 1 and 2 scudi of Angel, have been sold out for some time now.
		This is an obvious indication that the perfect way in which the coins have been produced, combining the most modern of techniques with a renaissance "feel", together with the very modest price, considering the weight, at which they have been put on sale, has won the favour of the most discriminating of collectors.

		To finance its activities the Order was assigned an endowment to provide an annual income of 350,000 scudi, drawn on the Grand Ducal estates, of which 200,000 scudi would be used to establish Commanderies of grace to provide annual income of between 40 and two hundred scudi for their holders.
		These were Commanderies of State, for which an endowment of 50,000 scudi was required, two categories of Grand Cross benefices - Priories which required a capital endowment of 20,000 scudi and Bailiwicks which required 15,000 scudi [14] - and simple Commanderies for knights which required an endowment of 10,000 scudi.
		In the event of there being no male heirs to the commandery, it would pass to the Order with the provision that legitimate daughters of the last holder would be entitled to divide three per cent of the capital value as an annual income for their lifetimes.

		The church of S. Giovanni dei Cavalieri di Malta ranks among the small number of Italian buildings that are fully documented by a complete set of cost estimates known as a "misura e stima".
		The cost of the work was about 3000 scudi, and the misure brought in 2%, or 60 scudi.
		If the payment of 300 scudi was for the misure, as Wittkower assumed, then we would have a doubly unusual situation, in which the architect accepts a misura provided by the capomastro muratore and pays him at the unusually high rate of 3%.

		Prices in Rome typically were quoted in gold or silver scudi or their fractions (a gold scudo was worth about 1.3 times a silver scudo during the period under consideration), although actual payments frequently took the form of goods or a combination of goods and cash.
		For uniformity, the silver scudo romano, which was divided into 10 giuli and 100 bajocchi and contained about thirty-two grams of silver, is used throughout this essay (its value against the gold scudo declined approximately 14 percent from around 1590 until 1625).
