Chapter 1652: Immortal david
About twenty minutes later, the convoy had entered the old town of Florence, and the speed immediately dropped, and the scenery outside the car window suddenly became much more beautiful.
The change of the scenery outside the window gives people a feeling of suddenly returning from modern times to ancient times, which is very strange.
The streets that the convoy passed were all antique, and there was no modern building in sight.
On both sides of these streets are full of ancient buildings built in various eras and styles, row upon row and colorful, giving this ancient city rich colors.
Among them, there are Romanesque and Gothic buildings before the Middle Ages, as well as Renaissance-style buildings, as well as various historical buildings such as Baroque and Rococo styles. The array is dazzling!
The fronts, corners, and balconies of these ancient buildings are basically filled with beautiful flowers and lush green plants, passionate and full of vitality, just like the attitude of the Italians towards life.
When the motorcade drove past a street corner or passed a certain square, you could always see some exquisitely carved and artistic sculptures or fountains, perhaps from a famous artist.
In addition, on these ancient streets with hundreds of years of history, motorcycles are parked everywhere, most of them are light scooters, and there are few cars and bicycles.
This is a major feature of Florence, and perhaps the biggest and most obvious difference between modern and ancient Florence. The rest of it seems to be similar!
Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, the city is too old, and the buildings that have existed for hundreds of years are already in dilapidated condition, and they cannot be compared with the glamorous and well-equipped modern buildings.
However, in the eyes of Ye Tian, the entire city of Florence seems to be shrouded in rainbows, so beautiful!
In the eyes of all people who love history and art, this ancient city is a huge treasure, a paradise for art, and its value is incomparable!
Every building, every street, every sculpture and fountain here has a wonderful story that belongs to them, and they all emit a dazzling humanistic light, which is eye-catching!
Looking at the beautiful scenery constantly flashing outside the car window, Ye Tian and Betty sitting in the car have long been deeply attracted by this ancient city and fascinated by it.
"Wow! The streets of Florence are so beautiful. Compared to the old town of Paris, it looks more lively and colorful. The scenery of the old town of Nice is a bit similar here!"
Betty said with emotion, her eyes full of intoxication.
Ye Tian turned to look at his wife, then smiled and whispered:
"Compared with Paris, the protection of the old city of Florence is better and more complete. The old city of Florence we see now is almost the same as what people saw hundreds of years ago!
Of course, excluding these motorcycles, neon lights, signs, and other modern objects on the streets, as long as these things are removed, Florence will instantly become a Renaissance city.
In this city, we can see ancient buildings and sculptures from the Middle Ages and even earlier, such as the San Giovanni Chapel, a representative of Romanesque architecture built between the 5th and 8th centuries!
We can also see the ancient buildings of the early Renaissance, the most famous of which is the landmark of Florence, built in 1296, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, one of the three major domes in Europe,..."
While Ye Tian introduced Florence, the capital of art, the convoy drove through the ancient streets and quickly drove towards the Medici Villa Hotel in the center of the old city.
The area of Florence’s Old Town is small, and the distance between them is less than three kilometers.
Before long, the Medici Villa Hotel, which was converted from an 18th century aristocratic palace, appeared in front of the convoy and broke into everyone's field of vision!
At this time, there was an introduction about the ancient city of Florence, Ye Tian only talked about less than one-third, and had to stop.
Since the room was booked a long time ago, and Charlie and the others have already checked in, this saves a lot of trouble!
Therefore, after Ye Tian and the others arrived, they hardly made any delay, and went straight to the room that had already been reserved, instead of staying in the hotel lobby.
Even so, many guests in the hotel still saw Ye Tian and the others, knowing that they had stayed in this five-star hotel and immediately caused a commotion!
Especially thinking of Ye Tian's past deeds, many tourists can't help but feel worried, for fear of suffering from the fish.
Of course, there are also guys who are not too excited to watch the excitement.
After entering the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel, with the best view and view, Ye Tianzhao secretly turned on perspective, and thoroughly looked through every corner of the entire suite, just in case!
Prior to this, Charlie and the others had thoroughly inspected the presidential suite and other rooms, and made some anti-eavesdropping and anti-monitoring arrangements to prevent anyone from spying.
However, what Ye Tian believed most was his omnipotent eyes.
After fluoroscopy, he did not find any monitoring equipment in this presidential suite. The room was quiet and safe, so he could stay in peace.
Later, he and Betty opened the suitcase, took out the luggage, washed and changed clothes, and took a rest to adjust the jet lag and state.
In a blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
After adjusting, Ye Tian and Betty left the Medici Villa Hotel by car, and officially began to visit Florence, an ancient city full of humanities and arts.
The first stop they chose was the famous Michelangelo Square.
Ten minutes later, the bullet-proof SUV they were riding in arrived at Michelangelo Square and stopped on the side of the road in front of the square.
After the vehicle stopped, Ye Tian and Betty got off the vehicle immediately, and then under the **** of several security personnel such as Cole, they walked along the steps to the square while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Seven or eight meters behind them, followed by three or four Italian policemen in plain clothes, and two Giovanni's men, also Italian cultural relics gendarmerie in plain clothes.
As before, during the march, Ye Tian once again assumed the duties of a tour guide, introducing Betty and the others to the Michelangelo Square.
"The reason why this square is called Piazza Michelangelo is that one of the famous symbols of Florence is erected in the center of the square~www.wuxiaspot.com~Michelangelo’s monumental masterpiece, "David".
It is a pity that in the last century, the city government of Florence moved the sculpture "David" to the gallery of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts out of consideration to protect the famous sculpture.
Now if you want to see "David" sculptured by Michelangelo himself, you can only go to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. Later today, or tomorrow morning, let's go and enjoy it.
After removing the "David", the city government of Florence set up a replica in its original location. The bronze sculpture "David" looks no different from the original at first glance.
Piazza Michelangelo is located on the high ground at the southern end of Florence. Standing on the square, you can see the panoramic view of Florence, so it has become the first stop for many people to start their Florence tour! "
While they were talking, their group had entered Michelangelo Square.
Not far in front of them, there is a tall bronze statue of David, which overlooks Florence from above and all the tourists who come here to visit!
Seeing this replica of Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece, Ye Tian and the others couldn't help stopping, standing in place, admiring this powerful sculpture from a distance.
At this moment, there was a loud whistle in everyone's ears, with a somewhat frivolous taste, and it came from several different people.
"Shhhhh!"
The first time he heard these whistles, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked at the place where the sound came from, a sharp light flashed through his eyes!
He had already heard that these slightly frivolous whistles were directed at a few of his own people. To be precise, they were probably directed at Betty!
