Chapter 1658: Mafia is visiting
Since it takes time to test and appraise, the scientific test results of the portrait of Botticelli will not be released until a day and a half later.
However, under Ye Tian’s on-site prompts, through experience and visual judgment, as well as some commonly used identification equipment, many experts at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts quickly reached accurate identification conclusions.
There is no doubt that this classical oil painting is indeed by the top artist Botticelli, and it is an experimental work of him. It has extraordinary special significance and can be called an invaluable treasure!
After everyone reached a consensus and confirmed this appraisal conclusion, an ecstatic cheer immediately rang out from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, which resounded through the world's highest art school.
Next, these guys like Mario quickly surrounded Ye Tian like a star holding the moon. Everyone was extremely enthusiastic, with a bright smile on their faces, looking at Ye Tian expectantly!
Ye Tian naturally knew why they had such a performance!
Without even thinking about it, these guys are trying to keep this special and priceless top art.
And this is exactly what Ye Tian wanted to see.
When he decided to come to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts to appraise this classic oil painting with Mario and the others, he anticipated this situation and figured out a coping strategy!
"Mario, you want to keep this Botticelli painting. I understand very well. For your college, this painting has an extraordinary special significance and is extremely valuable.
By studying this portrait of a person, you will not only understand Botticelli's process of learning oil painting as an artistic creation form, but also understand the initial development of oil painting in Italy.
Once the relevant research results are released, they will definitely cause a huge sensation, and will also bring you many honors to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, further consolidating your position in the field of fine arts.
But I am a professional treasure hunter. This is the treasure I found and my product. If you really like this painting and want to keep it, you can buy it.
In my place, the door to the transaction is always open. I gave a valuation for this painting in Piazza Michelangelo before. Its valuation is 80 million Euros, which is only low and not high.
If you can accept the valuation given by me, then you can complete this artwork transaction. If you can’t, then I’m very sorry, I can only take this classical painting with me and look for another buyer! "
Ye Tian said with a smile, showing his fangs.
This is exactly one of the purposes he came to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. It would be great if he could deal with this painting on the spot in Florence and save a lot of trouble!
"Wow! 80 million euros, this valuation is too exaggerated, it is a bit sensational, what a fortune this is!"
"Steven, you guy is exactly the same as in the legend. Not only is you sharp-eyed and cruel, but you are also extremely greedy."
These guys from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts all exclaimed. While shocked, they did not forget to condemn Ye Tian!
Ye Tian didn't respond to these guys with exaggerated and bluffing expressions, but just looked at them with a smile and waited for these guys to make a decision.
After pondering for a moment, Mario said in a deep voice:
"Steven, the price is too high, we can't afford it. We are not super rich, but an art academy with a limited budget, and the budget has already been arranged!
For a while, we really couldn't come up with such an astronomical sum of money to purchase this painting by Botticelli. Can the price be lower? Or we can borrow the exhibition"
"The loan exhibition is definitely no show, Mario. You and I know the reasons very well, so I don't need to point it out? There is no room for negotiation. You also know whether the valuation is reasonable.
Undoubtedly, this painting will definitely be included in the list of restricted-departure artworks. Before leaving Italy, I hope to sell it. If you can’t, I can only find other buyers or send it for auction.”
Ye Tian smiled and shook his head and said, but his tone was extremely firm, beyond doubt.
"What a cunning bastard, he won't leave a chance at all, he is invulnerable"
Mario spit out a few words secretly in irritation, and fell into thought again.
Before waiting for a response from the other party, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"I can give you a suggestion, Mario, your academy may have a limited budget, but you can contact the shareholders of the Academy of Fine Arts and those super-rich patrons.
They can come forward to purchase this painting and donate it to you, or borrow it from them for an exhibition, and keep this painting in the Academy of Fine Arts, which can also achieve your goals! "
Before the words fell, Mario's eyes lit up suddenly, like a pair of searchlights, he clearly saw hope.
The other guys in the Academy of Fine Arts are the same, all eyes are shining, and they are very excited!
After chatting for a few more words, Mario took out his mobile phone and went to the side to contact the owner of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. The super-rich paid for the painting and donated it to the Academy of Fine Arts!
That is undoubtedly the best result. Even the Academy of Fine Arts can borrow the exhibition, and it can achieve the goal and achieve a series of important research results!
As for Ye Tian and the others, they soon left this conference room.
They went to visit the Art Academy of Fine Arts, this is the main purpose of their visit to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence!
In the Art Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Michelangelo’s immortal masterpiece, "David" is on display, and it is an authentic work, not a copy, and it is definitely not to be missed!
In addition, there is another sculpture of Michelangelo's "Holy Death" and four unfinished sculptures of tall slaves, which are said to portray Michelangelo's mood at the time!
In addition to a series of sculptures by Michelangelo, this art gallery also displays many famous sculptures, including works by famous sculptors such as Donatello and Cellini.
There are not only a large number of sculptures, but also many top paintings, mainly the works of Renaissance Florentine painters.
Among them are the works of top art masters such as Raphael, Giotto, Masaccio, Botticelli, etc., each of which is invaluable and full of artistic charm.
It can be said that although this art gallery is not large in scale, it is a Renaissance art temple. Everyone who visits Florence should not miss it.
Before I knew it, it was around ten in the evening.
After a half-day tour, Ye Tian finally returned to the Medici Villa Hotel by car.
As soon as they walked into the hotel lobby, Ye Tian and the others looked up and saw that the lobby manager brought a few people straight to meet them, with a little nervous expression and a little fear in his eyes.
Almost all these guys are strange faces, tall, short, fat and thin, ranging in age from more than 20 to more than 40. Everyone is full of hostility and fierce eyes. It doesn't look like a good person!
Among these guys, there is a familiar face, it is the hapless stall owner who was looted by Ye Tian in Michelangelo Square in the afternoon!
At this moment, this guy was gnashing his teeth at Ye Tian, his eyes were full of bitter hatred and fear, and he couldn't hide it at all!
Seeing these guys at the first glance, Ye Tian knew that these guys were not good at coming, obviously they came for trouble, and they must have come for Botticelli's painting!
In addition to these menacing guys, there were also a few Italian policemen in plain clothes on the scene ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ standing seven or eight meters on the side, staring at this side sternly, in high alert.
Cole and the others reacted quickly. The moment they saw those guys, they immediately stepped forward, established a line of defense two meters in front of Ye Tian and Betty, and stared at those guys vigilantly!
Seeing Cole's quick response and well-trained actions, the faces of those unidentified guys suddenly changed, and everyone's eyes flashed with fear.
When they walked two or three meters away from Ye Tian, those guys were stopped by Cole and they had to stop.
As soon as he stopped, the lobby manager said in a low voice with a solemn expression:
"Good evening, Mr. Steven, excuse me, these gentlemen want to talk to you about something. They belong to the Casa Monica family and come from Rome."
Hearing this, Ye Tian's brows couldn't help but frowned, and a sharp murderous intent flashed deep in his eyes.
Casa Monica, a member of the Mafia family, and the most arrogant Mafia family in Italy, a bit interesting!
