In a ploy to get his roommate to go out with me, I invited all of his roommates to go to see ‘The DaVinci Code,’” Amy says of their first date. “This was the only one willing to drop everything and go.

Seracini has devoted 30 years to the task, interpreting ancient diaries and city records to try to locate the spot where the uncompleted masterpiece was painted. He has proof...
