Chapter 1671: 0Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers

After dealing with many media reporters, Ye Tian and the others left the Florence police station by car and headed straight for the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Before and after their convoy, there were three police cars with flashing lights, which were responsible for opening the road and protecting them to avoid accidents from happening again, thus ruining the art capital of Florence.

There are several police officers with live ammunition sitting in each police car, one by one, as if they are facing an enemy, and they are always on high alert.

Of course, those media reporters who were afraid that the world would not be chaos also drove up to follow. Everyone was extremely excited, and even hoped unkindly for another fierce match.

As soon as the convoy left the Florence police station, Ye Tian immediately said through an invisible headset:

"Cole, look for a restaurant near the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers. It's lunch time. Let's have lunch first, and then visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers."

"Understood, Steven"

Cole's voice came from the headset and responded.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone and called Kenny, who was far away in New York.

The phone was connected instantly, and Kenny's voice came over immediately.

"Steven, have you left the Florence police station?"

"We have left the police station and are on the way to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers. Tell me about what I asked you to check. Have you got any results?"

"Okay, Steven, based on the names of the two gypsy gunmen you provided, we have found the gypsy gang to which the two scumbags belong, and the main strongholds of that gang.

Through the names and mobile phone numbers of the two scumbags, we went along and found out the mobile phone numbers, names, addresses and other information of the boss of the gypsy gang and all other members.

We monitored the cell phone of the gypsy gang boss. Through monitoring, we learned that the Florence police had launched an operation and wiped out several strongholds of the gang, but found nothing.

The gypsy gang had received the news a long time ago, and they all hid in a secret hiding place. The Florence police did not know that location, not too far from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Later, I will send you all the information about the gypsy gang, so that you can follow the diagram and send the scum to hell, or get rid of the scum with the police.

The outlying legion of the Casamonica family was the same. It was also raided by the Florence police. Several places were swept away, but the Mafia scum were not caught.

By monitoring the mobile phone signals of those Mafia scumbags, we learned that those guys had already sent a request for help to the Roman family and reported the latest situation here in detail.

However, it is not known for the time being whether Rome will send someone to Florence to support this outlying legion. The cell phone number in Rome cannot be monitored, and it is obviously an anti-monitoring transformation.

The remaining scum in the Outer Legion of Florence also hid at this time. We are determining their location one by one based on their mobile phone numbers, and we have found something.

It is estimated that it will not take long before we can find out all those scumbags and locate them one by one. At that time, the life and death of those mafia scumbags will depend on your thoughts."

"Well done, Kenny, continue to monitor the mafia scum, and the gypsy gang, keep an eye on the scum and their every move, and immediately notify me of any discovery."

Ye Tian sneered and said in a low voice, his eyes flashed with fierce murderous intent.

After a few more conversations, Ye Tian hung up and ended the call.

Ten minutes later, the convoy had driven near the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers and stopped in front of an Italian restaurant.

At this time, the vicinity of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers was empty, with no pedestrians and tourists in sight, and it seemed very deserted.

At a glance, what everyone saw most was the Florence police patrolling with guns and live ammunition. Each of them was on high alert, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

In addition to the police, the most people on the street are the media reporters. These guys are very excited, raising the camera and video camera in their hands and shooting continuously.

After the convoy stopped and confirmed the safety of the scene, Ye Tian took Betty out of the car and walked into the Italian restaurant under the **** of Cole and the others.

Following them, Anderson and Tyler also walked into this Italian restaurant, ready to have lunch.

By the time they walked out of this Italian restaurant, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.

After leaving the restaurant, Ye Tian and the others chose not to take a car, but chose to walk, talking, laughing and chatting while walking towards the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers, looking like other tourists.

However, in the eyes of everyone else on the street, especially in the eyes of the heavily armed Florence police, their group is arguably the most dangerous and murderous tourist, who has ever seen it!

At this time, the light rain was still pattering and the weather became even cooler.

There are still few pedestrians and tourists in the square in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers and the nearby area. There are police officers and reporters from major news media everywhere.

These media reporters have already learned that Ye Tian and the others will visit here, so they came here to wait and see, maybe they can get an explosive news.

The media reporters who followed all the way from the police station took advantage of Ye Tian's lunch break and took advantage of their position in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers, waiting for Ye Tian and the others to arrive!

Walking to the edge of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers and seeing the deserted scene on the square in front of the cathedral, Ye Tian immediately joked:

"Guys, it seems we are going to enjoy a VIP treatment. This afternoon, the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers, the fourth cathedral in the world, will be opened exclusively for us. This opportunity is really precious!"

With that said, the group of them had already walked up the square in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, then stopped, looked up and began to admire this landmark building in Florence and the most beautiful church in the world.

In this world, there are many majestic churches, such as Cologne Cathedral in Germany, St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Milan Cathedral in Milan and so on.

However, such a beautiful and charming church like the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers is unique, there is only one in the world.

This beautiful church with white, red, and green granite veneers fully interprets the classic, elegant, and freely respected in the Renaissance era, unparalleled!

And this is why it is called the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers.

The original site of the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers is the St. Reparata Church built in the fourth century.

In 1296, Cosimo di Giovanni de Medici funded the construction of a new church, which took 175 years to finally complete and named it the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers.

The architect who designed and presided over the construction of this famous church is Bruneneski, a genius architect, who imitated the Roman Pantheon and designed and built the dome of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers.

This is the perfect combination of classical art and science. It caused a huge sensation as soon as it was released at the time, and the pope was also amazed by it, calling it "mythical".

Today, the huge dome of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers is still a great miracle in the history of architecture, breathtaking, and even jaw-dropping!

Even the great Michelangelo, after imitating it to design St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, he regrets that it can be built larger than it, but it cannot be more beautiful ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Unbelievably, Bruneneski did not draw a sketch or write down a set of calculation data, so he completed the design, as if the entire dome had been built in his heart.

As the designer of this great building, Bruneneski was buried here after his death, and his tomb is under the church.

On the square in front of the church, his statue points to the magnificent dome of the church, as if proudly introducing his masterpiece to the world.

Inside the dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore is the dome painting "Judgment" painted by Vasari, and there is a mural "Giovanni Agüto Monument" on the walls of the hall.

In addition, there is "Dante and the Divine Comedy" painted to commemorate Dante's 200th birthday in the church, and other reliefs abound.

Climb the 463 steps on the north side of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, and you will reach the top of the dome of the church, where you can overlook the beautiful streetscape of the old town of Florence.

At this time, Ye Tian and the others were standing on the square in front of the church, admiring this extremely beautiful and famous church, and everyone was fascinated.
