Hi again. I have some more questions....

This has just came to me but was there ever a point (that you know of) when Mario really took great interest about renaissonce Italy?

How was his research conducted? So far what i've gathered about the research of The Sicilian you both travelled to Sicily and learned more. I've also seen your pictures of Rome. Was this part of the research or a general holiday?

On a seperate subject to the Family (I hope it's alright)...What real views did Mario have of the real life Sicilian bandit Salvatore Giuliano? The way he wrote about him is how I was inspired of how great a man he was. Giuliano was always a legend. Mario made him and ever greater legend. (Look at the inpact he's had on me).
