Chapter 2717: Sforza family treasure
"Treasure Hunt ( to find the latest chapters!
Ten minutes passed quickly, and Ye Tian squeezed into the crowd again, put away these two priceless top art works, and put them into a portable painting bag that was already prepared.
Those who admire like crazy, can only watch these two top oil paintings being put away, eyes full of dismay and regret.
After receiving the two top oil paintings, Ye Tian gave them to his company employees to put them away and strictly protect them.
Immediately afterwards, the curator of the Vatican Museums and several other experts and scholars immediately surrounded them, and made a request for purchase, hoping to include the two top oil paintings.
As with Paul and Giovanni before, Ye Tian told these expectant guys of his decision. All they could get is Tintoretto's "Lepanto Battle".
The price they have to pay is a considerable number of top Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art.
Hearing this, these old friends were all stunned on the spot. They were also having a headache, where to find the top Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art that could satisfy Ye Tian's appetite.
And each of them knew very well in their hearts that if they wanted to win Tintoretto's "Lepanto Battle", they would be looted wildly by this greedy guy in front of them!
Next, Ye Tian chatted with everyone on the scene again, and left, took David and the others into the basement again, and continued to explore the rooms in the basement.
In the ensuing time, many company employees who scattered and explored upstairs discovered several hidden grids and sandwich walls one after another, located on different floors and different rooms.
Since its completion in the mid-to-late fifteenth century, this historical building in Renaissance style has been the residence of the Holy See and the annex of the embassies of different countries, with strong political color.
In a historical building like this, there are many hidden compartments and secret rooms, as well as walls and other hidden secret places. It couldn't be more normal, but it was a strange thing.
It's a pity that these secret rooms and secret compartments, as well as the inside of the wall, are empty, and there is nothing.
Obviously, the things stored in these places have been taken away long ago, and these secret rooms and secret compartments are also known, and they are not a secret.
In the basement, Ye Tian also found two hidden secret rooms, but after opening the secret rooms, he found nothing.
This result is somewhat disappointing and regrettable for everyone.
However, with the previous two priceless oil paintings, they are perfect today. The value of those two top art works is enough to replace dozens of such historical buildings.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon.
The people staying outside this historic building, as well as many media reporters, looked eagerly at the historic building on the street.
After waiting for a whole morning, people are somewhat tired at this time. Some people with poor patience, or those who have something to do, can't wait to leave.
People and media reporters who are still here have more or less impatient expressions on their faces.
"It's been a whole morning, and Steven's gang hasn't come out yet. They must have found something in this historic building, but they don't know what major secret or treasure is!"
"It's not necessarily true, the extremely lucky guy Steven, this time he might encounter Waterloo. As far as I know, there are many rooms and basements in these two historic buildings. It will take a lot of time to explore them all!
There are endless discussions in the streets, people are discussing enthusiastically, and there are no shortage of gloaters.
At this moment, the door of the Renaissance-style building on the side of the street finally opened, and a group of heavily armed security personnel walked out of it and stood on guard at the door.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and David, the curators of the Venetian Palace Museum Paul and Giovanni, and the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy walked out of the historic building.
As for others, such as the Bishop of Kent and the Cultural Counselor of the U.S. Embassy, they remained in the historic building and did not appear.
Seeing Ye Tian and his party appeared, the streets immediately became restless.
Especially the media reporters who stood at the front of the crowd raised their voices and raised questions, and no one wanted to miss this rare opportunity.
"Good noon, Steven, I'm a reporter from Le Figaro in Rome. Can you tell me what you found in this historic building? Everyone here wants to know."
"Hello, Steven, I'm a reporter for Milan TV. According to the news we received, you not only bought a few historical buildings in Rome, but also a few historical buildings in Milan.
Those historical buildings are said to be near the Sforza Castle. The news has spread in Milan and caused quite a stir. Those historical buildings have become the focus of Milan.
Can you tell us why you bought those historic buildings in Milan? What is hidden in those historical buildings? Is it a great secret or a hidden treasure?
It is said that those historical buildings are very close to the Sforza Castle, but only a hundred meters apart. Then I would like to ask, are the historical buildings related to the treasures of the Sforza family? "
Following the questions of these media reporters, the streets suddenly became more lively.
Especially the question from the Milan journalist directly lifted everyone's curiosity and made everyone envious!
Everyone was full of curiosity about the historical buildings in Milan, and they wished to fly to Milan immediately and go to the Sforza Castle in person to see those historical buildings.
This time, I might be able to make a fortune. Who said that all the good things in the world were taken up by the guy Steven. Good luck may patronize myself this time!
Ye Tian, who walked down the steps, first glanced quickly at this very lively street, then smiled and said loudly:
"Good noon, ladies and gentlemen, I have kept you waiting for a long time, and thank you very much for your support. I will not introduce more about the historical buildings that I bought in Milan.
What I can tell you is that when things are over in Rome, we will go to Milan. As for what is hidden in those historical buildings, when we get to Milan, the answer will be revealed~www.wuxiaspot.com~Everyone at this moment The focus should be on these two early Renaissance-style historical buildings. Next, I will introduce the discoveries in this historical building to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
While exploring a room on the second floor of this historic building, my company employees found a hidden grid in the wall. In that hidden grid, we had a surprisingly significant discovery.
The secret compartment was built in the middle and late seventeenth century. The builder was a cleaner at the Embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome, and the cleaner was a resentful guy.
He hid two oil paintings in that secret area, as well as a diary that records daily life and his own psychological activities, and the major discovery I am talking about is those two oil paintings.
Those two oil paintings should be the important collections of the Embassy of the Republic of Venice, or the private collections of the ambassador himself. They were stolen by the guy named Philip and hidden in the secret.
The artists who created the two oil paintings were two famous art masters in the Renaissance. They were the famous Venetian painter Giorgione and Tintoretto of the same school.
The name of Giorgione's painting is "Venus in the Bath", which was created before the famous "Sleeping Venus". The figure in the painting is the same female model and also Giorgione's mistress.
As for Tintoretto’s painting, I believe many professionals have heard of it. It is said to be the masterpiece "The Battle of Lepanto", which was said to have been burnt down in the fire of the Doge's Palace in Venice in 1577."
Before the words fell, the whole street was completely boiling.
Especially those professionals who were on the scene or watching the live broadcast were completely shocked when they heard what Ye Tian said. They were all dumbfounded, and their eyes were about to fly out!
