When in Rome, Touch the Art

Timothy Schmalz Sculptor

Join me as I walk the streets of Rome and share the stories behind my sculptures installed throughout the Eternal City. Through personal reflections on art, faith, Scripture, and the creative process, I'll explore the people, places, and moments that inspired each work.

Guided by six simple questions—Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How—I invite you to walk beside me as we discover the stories, insights, and moments of grace behind every sculpture.

Episode 0: Welcome To My Studio

Welcome to the very first episode of my podcast, When in Rome, Touch the Art! In Episode 0, I take you inside my brand-new studio located just steps from St. Peter’s Square in Rome. I share what this historic and spiritual setting means for my work, serving as an initial canvas where I design, sketch, and build the small-scale maquettes that eventually become large bronze sculptures. I also dive into my personal process, share my conviction that art can visually preach, break down barriers, and show that sacred art is very much alive today. When in Rome, Touch the Art is a production by La Machi Communication for Good Causes. Executive Producer: Juan della Torre Follow the show so you don't miss an episode of Season 1!
