Mattiello portrait at State House planned to cost $22,000

What do we know about the portrait? Mattiello s predecessor, Gordon Fox, who went to prison for taking bribes, did not request a portrait, and no one has suggested making one. Murphy s portrait was done in 2010 by Framingham-based painter Ben Aronson at a cost to the state of $19,000, according to a previously published report. Aronson has been commissioned to paint Mattiello s portrait as well, according to a contract provided by House spokesman Larry Berman in response to a Journal inquiry. The budgeted cost: $22,000, which is less than half the amount the state has committed to paying for former Gov. Gina Raimondo s portrait.

Montanaro s days at the State House have been numbered since former House Speaker Nicholas Mattiello was defeated at the polls in November. After months of rumors about where he might land, the former state representative from Cranston and namesake son of a once-powerful labor leader put in his last day at the State House on Friday. He left quietly, without fanfare in a state capitol building still closed to the public. Montanaro headed business operations for Rhode Island s $46-million-a-year General Assembly.
