"The auction preview of Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Lisa Gladini, will begin tomorrow and only for one day at the Vatican Museums"

As this brief message appeared on the Internet and was quickly reprinted by other news outlets, it spread like the wind throughout the world, immediately attracting countless attention.

Especially in the field of antique art collections and art auctions, this news is like a tsunami, and it has swept almost everywhere and made everyone crazy.

When the sun rises again and a new day arrives, the Vatican Museums also usher in a very lively day.

Countless antique art experts, art lovers, critics, top collectors, art dealers, auction house professionals, and many high-level people from famous museums, etc.

Of course, there are also many news media reporters who love to join in the fun.

All of these people, coming from all over the world overnight, flocked to Rome, to the Vatican, and there was a steady stream of people on their way to Rome.

Leonardo da Vinci's Lisa Gradini, which is said to be no less artistic than the Mona Lisa, has solved many mysteries in the history of art.

This is the first time Lisa Gladini has been exhibited publicly, and it will only be a one-day preview of the auction, and God knows who will end up with this priceless treasure, and whether it will be on public display in the future.

For the vast majority of people, this auction preview is likely to be the only opportunity of their lifetime to see Lisa Gladini up close, and it is not to be missed.

It was close to 9 o'clock in the morning, and the Vatican Museums had not yet opened, but in front of the museum and in St. Peter's Square, it was already crowded and lively.

At the entrance of the museum, there are already several queues of visitors who run out of the museum's entrance, through St. Peter's Square, and even to Rome.

Without exception, the center of conversation for all of them was Lisa Gladini, a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci, which was about to be presented to the public for the first time in public.

"Oh my God! there are too many people waiting in line to get in, but the Vatican Museums are only open until half past one at noon, so could it be our turn to visit Lisa Gradini?

"I guess it's not a show, I just heard that the Vatican Museums will not extend their opening hours, and the afternoon is the viewing time for those super-rich and top collectors, and it is not open to the public.

This means that if we want to see Lisa Gladini up close, we can only pray to God to allow us to enter the Vatican Museums as soon as possible."

Amid the people's discussions, nine o'clock in the morning had quietly arrived.

The Vatican Museums opened on time and began to accept visitors.

The first wave of visitors who entered the museum after checking their tickets, as soon as they entered the museum, immediately like a group of wild horses that had escaped from the reins, according to the signs in the museum, one by one spread their legs and went straight to the second floor, the scene was spectacular!

There is no other reason for this, as the preview gallery for Lisa Gladini is located on the second floor.

It was a free-standing temporary gallery with only one painting by Lisa Gladini.

Seeing these almost frantic and frantic visitors, the staff of the Vatican Museums were taken aback and dumbfounded.

Even Ye Tian, who had just finished setting up the exhibition and was still in the museum, was shocked, and it was quite an eye-opener.

When many visitors rushed to the entrance of the exhibition hall on the second floor of the museum, they were stopped by the security personnel at the door and had to queue up again to enter the exhibition hall in batches and in an orderly manner.

When they finally entered the exhibition hall, they found that there were more security personnel in the exhibition hall than there were visitors, and Lisa Gladini was covered with a sturdy bulletproof glass cover, so they couldn't get too close.

However, they were able to see Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece up close, so the visitors did not have time to think about it, so they hurriedly rushed forward and began to admire this "Lisa Gladini".

At the same time, Ye Tian and his party walked into other exhibition halls to appreciate the antique artworks displayed in those exhibition halls.

Time passed quickly, and it was already past one o'clock in the blink of an eye, less than ten minutes before the Vatican Museums closed.

However, the entrance to the preview hall was still full of visitors waiting to enter, including professionals from all over the world, as well as collectors and art lovers.

Seeing that the closing time is approaching, they have come all the way to the Vatican, but it is very likely that they will run in vain and not see "Lisa Gladini" at all, and these people can't help but feel a little anxious.

Compared with before, the entrance of the exhibition hall has also become a lot more noisy, people's faces are full of anxiety, their eyes are full of disappointment, and the scene is constantly talking, one after another!

Seeing this situation, the management of the Vatican Museums felt a little headache, and their expressions became much more solemn, and for a while, they didn't know how to deal with it.

At this moment, Ye Tian and Betty suddenly appeared from the staircase in front of them and walked towards the exhibition hall.

The moment they saw Ye Tian and them, the eyes of many people at the entrance of the exhibition hall lit up, and hope was rekindled in their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, someone at the scene said loudly:

"Steven, it's almost half past one, and it's time for the Vatican Museums to close, can you ask the museum to extend the preview time so that everyone can go in and enjoy Lisa Gladini

I came from Los Angeles overnight for Lisa Gradini, and I'm sure there must be a lot of tourists like me, so I can't let everyone run for nothing, right?

The speaker is a collector from Los Angeles, USA, Ye Tian had seen this guy in the spring auction season in New York before, and he had a relationship.

As soon as the words fell, the other tourists at the scene immediately responded in groups.

Everyone wanted to go into the hall to see Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Lisa Gradini, and no one wanted to run in vain.

Especially for those who have traveled thousands of miles to the Vatican to admire this painting, the mood to enter the exhibition hall is even more urgent.

Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but stopped and glanced at the tourists who were lined up at the entrance of the exhibition hall, waiting to enter the visit, and looking at him with anticipation.

Immediately after, he raised his hands and pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be quiet.

When the noise at the scene subsided slightly, he immediately smiled and said aloud:

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm Steven, it's a pleasure to be here, and it's a pleasure for you to come to this auction preview and see Lisa Gladini.

I understand everyone's feelings, but today's preview must end at half past one at noon, and the auction will be held in the evening, so I want to leave enough time for the bidders to appreciate it.

Although I can't accommodate everyone's request to enter the gallery to see Lisa Gradini for the time being, I can be flexible and meet everyone's request so that you won't be disappointed.

At tonight's auction, I would like to ask the successful bidders to extend the public exhibition as long as the circumstances permit, in order to satisfy the desire to see the painting.

Regardless of whether the super-rich or the top collector wins the bid tonight, I am sure he will not refuse this offer, and as for the Vatican Museums, they will certainly not refuse such a good thing."

Before the words fell, the scene was already full of applause.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Everyone at the scene, whether they liked Ye Tian or not, gave him their applause at this time.

Accompanied by enthusiastic applause, there were bursts of cheers.

"Steven, well done, we look forward to your good news!"

"Great! Steven, we didn't come in vain."

In the midst of cheers, Ye Tian nodded lightly to everyone on the scene with a smile, and then walked into the exhibition hall with Betty and the others.

Outside the museum, a luxury motorcade sped along Avenue de la Concorde and came to a steady stop on the edge of St. Peter's Square.

As the doors of the luxury cars in the convoy opened, some of the super-rich and top collectors, who Italians, and indeed all Europeans, were very familiar with them, and they got out of those luxury cars one after another and stood on the edge of the square.

In the next moment, there was a commotion in St. Peter's Square, and all the tourists near the border turned their heads to look at the entrance of the square and began to talk enthusiastically.

"Look! That's Maria, the richest man in Italy and one of the richest women in the world, and the Rolls-Royce behind her is Berlusconi, the former prime minister of Italy, and the former richest man!"

"And Bernard, the richest man in France, Fried, a top collector in Germany, and Dimitris, a top collector in Greece, oh my God! What kind of private auction is this, the lineup is really exaggerated!"

Amid the exclamations, the super-rich and top collectors who had just gotten out of the car walked into St. Peter's Square one after another, escorted by bodyguards and Vatican police.

At this time, although they were very polite, they greeted each other with a smile and a smile, looking like old friends meeting.

However, in the eyes of each of them, the flames of battle burned and they all exuded an aura of self-sacrifice.

"Steven, Maria and Berlusconi, they've arrived, they've just entered St. Peter's Square and they're walking towards the museum."

Cole's voice came through the headphones, informing him of the situation outside.

Hearing the announcement, a bright smile immediately bloomed on Ye Tian's face.
