Eight Questions for William Wallace
When I was researching and writing A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome, I read thousands and thousands of pages -- books, articles, interviews, journals -- and one name kept popping up in my research, that of Dr. William Wallace.

I thought it was a pretty good read. But on that first trip I had that experience that so many people have when traveling in Italy.
