Chapter 1664: The city of flowers in the rain

After visiting the Plaza Mayor, Ye Tian and the others walked into the Palazzo Vecchio, also known as the Palazzo Vecchio, and began to visit this ancient palace built in the early 14th century.

This is an ancient palace with complete defenses. It used to be the residence of the Medici family and later became the city hall of Florence, the political center of Florence.

In modern times, this ancient palace is still in use, but has become a completely open museum for tourists to visit.

This ancient palace with a long history still maintains the medieval style on its facade, giving people a sense of vicissitudes after wind and rain, just like an old medieval castle.

And its interior decoration and decoration also maintained the appearance of the Renaissance. The famous architect Vasari in the late Renaissance was responsible for decorating this ancient palace.

He integrated the exaggerated frescoes depicting the accomplishments of the Florentine with the entire building, and made the interior decoration of this ancient palace beautiful and breathtaking.

As far as the palace itself is concerned, it is a rare and top antique artwork. It is of great value and research value, and it is famous in the history of architecture.

Inside this ancient palace, there are also many top antique works of art on display, each of which is of great value, radiating bright light and charming artistic charm.

The most famous one is Michelangelo's large mural, "Victory", located on the walls of the Republic Conference Hall on the second floor of the palace, adding a touch of elegance to the five-hundred-person hall.

In addition, there are Bronzino's frescoes, Donatello's sculptures, and Kirandayo's Roman hero series frescoes, etc. All kinds of top antique works of art can be seen everywhere, a dazzling array!

Every name that appears here is like a thunderbolt, radiating a dazzling light in the history of Western art, and they are all famous and top art masters in the Renaissance.

After visiting the Palace of Vecchio, it was almost halfway through the morning, and Ye Tian and his party went to visit the old bridge, which is also the famous Bridge of Vecchio.

This is the oldest bridge in Florence. It was built in 1345. On the bridge is a two-story building. It used to be the corridor from the Uffizi Palace to the Pitti Palace on the bank.

The Ponte Vecchio straddles the banks of the Arno River. The early Renaissance-style buildings on the bridge are very attractive, and it is a beautiful and romantic ancient bridge.

Different from other bridges with buildings on the Wind and Rain Bridge, the buildings on the Vecchio Bridge are arranged on two sides, extending outward above the Arno River, and the main passage in the middle of the bridge is unobstructed.

In this way, people walking on the bridge can see the sky when they look up. Raindrops falling from the sky can naturally fall on the stone road on the bridge and flow into the Arno River.

When Ye Tian and the others set foot on the Vecchio Bridge, the sky was still raining lightly. They kept hitting the umbrella cover, the roof of the building on the bridge, and the calm surface of the Arno River under the bridge.

At this moment, when they walked on this ancient bridge with umbrellas, they couldn't help but have the illusion of walking through the Renaissance period, which is not interesting.

However, this good feeling quickly disappeared.

After walking a few steps on the bridge, they saw a large number of shops, lined on both sides of the middle passage, completely occupying the ancient early Renaissance-style buildings on both sides.

Like most tourist areas, those are specialty stores selling specialty products from Florence and the surrounding areas, as well as jewelry and luxury goods stores, and the business is good, and there is a lot of people!

But for Ye Tian and the others, seeing such a scene on such a beautiful and romantic ancient bridge is still somewhat disgusting and ruining the mood.

This is not over, and there are even more horrific things. Among the people visiting and sightseeing on the old bridge, there are many thieves waiting for the opportunity to steal, one by one.

For these thieves, the narrow and crowded Ponte Vecchio is undoubtedly their most ideal place to commit crimes and a treasure place for them to make a fortune.

The numerous specialty stores on the bridge, as well as jewelry stores and luxury goods stores, make it easy for them to judge that those tourists have large amounts of cash in their pockets and are fat sheep that can be slaughtered.

From the moment he walked on the old bridge of Vecchio until he walked through the old bridge with a short span, Ye Tian witnessed at least eight or nine thefts during this period of time.

Regarding the thefts against Chinese tourists, as long as he saw it, he reminded the ignorant Chinese tourists aloud and stopped the thefts of the thieves, without exception.

As for other thefts, he didn't bother to pay attention, and chose to close one eye. He didn't care if the other foreigners were unlucky.

Although the famous Uffizi Gallery is just beside the Ponte Vecchio, within easy reach.

However, after visiting the Ponte Vecchio, Ye Tian and the others did not immediately enter the Uffizi Gallery for a tour, but went to the Notre-Dame de Flores Cathedral and Giotto's Bell Tower not far away.

The Uffizi Gallery is a temple of art, which displays the outstanding works of numerous art masters during the Renaissance and outstanding paintings by representatives of various other schools.

In addition, there are many sculptures from ancient Rome and ancient Greece. For art lovers, the Uffizi Gallery is the most magnificent work in Florence, the "City of Flowers".

As a top antique art appraisal expert and professional treasure hunter, for Ye Tian, ​​the Uffizi Gallery is not to be missed. This is the main purpose of his coming to Florence!

Moreover, such a top art palace must take a lot of time to visit and savor it, so that it will be worthwhile.

That's what Ye Tian planned. He plans to visit the Uffizi Gallery again tomorrow to enjoy the top antique artworks displayed here and feel the charm of many Renaissance art masters.

In his plan, he intends to stay in the Uffizi Gallery for one or two days, as much as possible to appreciate all the top antique works on display.

Even so, it is just a matter of watching. Under normal circumstances, he can only see a small part of the Uffizi Gallery.

Like the famous museums such as the Metropolis and the Louvre, most of the top antique artworks in the Uffizi Gallery are not displayed, but are stored in warehouses.

More importantly, Ye Tian and the others have limited time in Florence and will leave here soon.

You know, the Uffizi Gallery has a total of forty-five exhibition halls, with a collection of as many as 100,000 pieces. You can see it in a day or two, and you can only select some of the most essential parts to appreciate.

Fortunately, Ye Tian has the ability to see through, and can see through everything. The top antique artworks that are not publicly displayed in the Uffizi Gallery also cannot escape his eyes.

As long as he wants to, he can secretly turn on perspective and get a sweeping view of the collections of the Uffizi Museum. Maybe there will be a surprise windfall!

The Pitti Palace, which is across the river from the Uffizi Gallery, is in the same situation. Although it is close at hand, Ye Tian and the others did not immediately visit it.

It is also a museum open to the public, which houses many works by top art masters such as Raphael, Rubens, and Van Dyck. He plans to visit there on the last day.

After visiting the Pitti Palace, you can leave Florence and head to Milan.

Of course, there is a prerequisite here ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is that no unexpected time occurs and the established arrangement is disrupted.

However, things often backfire.

After leaving the Ponte Vecchio, Ye Tian and the others were holding their umbrellas, talking, laughing and chatting, while strolling along the ancient streets of Florence to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore not far away.

When they crossed the Lord's Square again, they had just stepped on the elegant Karchayoli Road, and walked forward about thirty or forty meters, Cole's voice suddenly came from the headphones.

"Steven, the scumbags of the Casamonica family have followed, just over 20 meters behind, mixed in twos and threes in the crowd, led by Tony, a total of seven people, obviously unkind.

How to deal with those mafia scumbags? Give it to the Italian policemen in plain clothes at the back, or let us deal with it ourselves? The snipers we arranged have targeted those idiots! "

Hearing this, Ye Tian's mouth immediately showed a cold smile.

Since you idiots do not know how to live or die, and insist on coming to find death, don't blame Lao Tzu for being cruel, wash your neck and prepare to go to hell!
