Chapter 1788 The Most Brilliant Meteor

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican again and drove straight to Coronari Avenue in the old town of Rome.

This is one of the most famous antique streets in the city of Rome, and it has a long history of dealing in antique art, which is one of the main goals of Ye Tian's trip to Rome, and of course cannot be missed!

Compared to the bustling and noisy Porte de la Botcei open-air market, Coronari Street is much quieter, more beautiful and full of art.

Coronari Street is an old street, at least a thousand years old, that, according to legend, was once the pilgrimage route of St. Peter.

The streets are lined with historic Renaissance and Baroque buildings, one after the other, and each one is very beautiful and very attractive.

On the ground floor of these historic buildings, there are a variety of shops, including restaurants, bars, clothing stores, cafes, and more.

However, the most shops here are antique shops and galleries everywhere, many of which have been passed down for generations and more than 100 years.

Perhaps because of these antique shops and galleries, the historic buildings on this street are noticeably much better preserved than the rest of the city of Rome, and look beautiful despite centuries of weather.

It is a must-see street for every art lover visiting Rome, a great place to shop for antique art and the best place to reflect the charm of Rome's art city.

Each antique shop on Coronari Street is like a small museum, with a wide variety of collections from ceramics, sculptures, paintings, furniture, and more!

If you're sharp-eyed and lucky, you might be able to make a fortune by finding a valuable piece of antique art in one of the antique shops or galleries on this street.

Of course, if you're ill-eyed, unlucky, and self-aware, by the time you leave the street, you'll probably be ruined, and you'll just get a pile of worthless garbage!

Just after half past ten in the morning, Ye Tian's convoy had already arrived at the entrance of Coronari Avenue and stopped on the side of the road.

As soon as the convoy came to a halt, Cole and his men quickly disembarked and dispersed, forming a strong defensive line, everyone on high alert, vigilantly observing the surrounding buildings and crowds.

After confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tian took Betty out of the car, landed on the ground, and quickly took a look at the surrounding situation.

In the process, he also secretly turned on the perspective, and thoroughly saw several historical buildings within his line of sight, as well as pedestrians and tourists on the street, for safety!

There are no gunmen in the surrounding buildings, and there are no potential dangers in the streets, but there are many glittering antique artworks displayed in different antique shops and galleries.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian already knew the situation on the scene, and he was much more relieved, and then ended the perspective.

At the same time, David and the others also rushed over and joined everyone in one place.

Then, Ye Tian and the others walked into this ancient street about 500 meters long and winding, ready to sweep this famous antique street and sweep away all the valuable and neglected antique artworks.

Ye Tian's arrival inevitably caused a commotion on Coronari Street.

The Italian cultural relics gendarmes who followed all the way, looking at the backs of Ye Tian and them strolling, all of them hated the root of their teeth, but they were helpless.

All they can do is pray in secret.

May God bless the antique dealers on Coronari Street and spare them from being ransacked by that bastard Steven.

Don't be like those unlucky bastards in the Bothsemen open-air bazaar, who become the protagonist of one tragedy after another, and can only weep secretly and slowly lick the bloody wounds!

As for the owners of those antique shops and galleries on Coronari Street, when they heard that Ye Tian had come here, their faces changed drastically, and they all had a feeling of impending disaster.

Although they had long expected this kind of thing to happen, when Ye Tian really came here, they still felt a fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Even if they were afraid, they couldn't close the door and thank customers, stop Ye Tian outside, and refuse to do his business, that would undoubtedly smash the signboard of their own antique store!

They could only grit their teeth and keep praying in a low voice, hoping that they would not become the object of madness!

The many tourists who were visiting on Coronari Street naturally also saw Ye Tian and them.

Like the reaction of most people, these guys looked at Ye Tian and their eyes, all of them were full of curiosity and a little frightened.

Of course, there are also some guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and they seem quite excited.

"I'm going! Steven, this bastard is actually on Coronari Street, and it is conceivable that this famous antique street will be doomed by this guy Steven."

"That's right! Yesterday's Bot Semen Souk was ransacked by Steven, the bastard, and if it weren't for the strange threat of a terrorist attack later, all the antique dealers in the market would not have escaped their bad luck!"

In the midst of people's discussions, Ye Tian and the others had pushed open the door of an antique shop on the street, walked into the antique shop, and disappeared from the street.

In another antique shop a few dozen meters away, Bowie, who had changed his personal image again, was admiring a landscape painting hanging on the display wall, looking at it very intently.

Time passed quickly, and it was close to noon in the blink of an eye.

In the past two or three hours, Ye Tian and his family have swept most of Coronari Street, visiting no less than 20 antique shops and galleries of various sizes and products.

Compared to the stall owners and antique shop owners and gallery owners at the Porte de Botte fairground, the antique dealers who run the antique art business on Coronari Street are obviously much higher.

Most of these guys have been in this industry for decades, and some are even family heirlooms, and have been in business for hundreds of years, and almost everyone can be called an expert in antique art appraisal, and their eyes are quite sharp!

The antique artworks displayed in their stores or galleries are basically well understood by these guys, and there is very little possibility of taking treasures.

Naturally, Ye Tian wanted to pick up the leaks on this famous antique street, and it was much more difficult than before.

Even so, after two or three hours, he still had a lot of gains.

David and the others were all carrying the spoils of war that Ye Tian had won, and Taylor also had a half-new metal trolley box in his hand, which was full of valuable antique artworks.

As for Bowie, who followed behind and secretly cooperated with Ye Tian to sweep this antique street, he also gained a lot, but it didn't attract anyone's attention!

At this time, Ye Tianzheng was in an antique shop on the street, holding an oil painting on canvas in his hand and discussing the price with the shopkeeper, and the negotiation had come to an end.

Betty and the others stood aside, smiling at the show, occasionally turning their heads to admire the other antique artworks displayed in the antique shop.

"Simeone, 28,000 euros, this is my last offer, if you can accept it, then we will pay for it, if you can't accept this price, then I can only turn around and leave!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, but his tone was very firm.

Hearing his words, the owner of the antique shop, Simeone, did not immediately respond.

He first looked at Ye Tian deeply a few times, trying to see something so that he could make a judgment.

It's a pity that he didn't see anything, and the hateful face in front of him always had a bright smile that remained unchanged, as if engraved on that face, and never disappeared!

Other than that, there seemed to be no other expression on that hateful face.

After complaining a few words in frustration, Simone looked at the painting in Ye Tian's hand again to see if he could make any new discoveries.

He knew the painting so well that he had seen it hundreds of times, and had studied it more than ten times, and now it seemed that everything was as it had been, and nothing new had been discovered.

The scene suddenly fell silent, Simone fell into deep thought, and Ye Tian looked at the antique shopkeeper with a smile on his face, waiting for him to make a decision.

After pondering for a moment, Simone finally made a decision, and the antique shop owner gritted his back molars and said:

"Okay, Steven, 28,000 euros, I accept the offer, as long as the bank transfer is done, this classical oil painting is yours and you can leave with it.

But I have a request, after the transaction is completed, you would better explain why you want to buy this painting, which is the work of that artist again, to solve my confusion!"

"Simeone, I can agree to your request, and after the transaction is completed, I will explain the painting, explain the reason why I bought it, and my conclusions.

I also have a request, you have to give me a certificate stating that the painting was purchased in your shop, and also the price, so that I can take it out of Italy!"

With that, Ye Tian shook hands with Simone and reached the art deal.

The next thing was simple, Ye Tian quickly completed the bank transfer and paid off the payment, and Simone wrote a certificate by hand and handed it to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took the supporting documents and glanced at them, then handed them over to David and asked David to review them carefully.

He himself looked at Simone, smiled, and said:

"Simone, why did I buy this oil on canvas for the simple reason that I think it's the work of Caravaggio, an important work of art in the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque.

Caravaggio, as we all know, was a swordsman painter with a short life and an even shorter artistic career, spending most of his time in wandering and exile, creating only a handful of works that have survived.

He is known as the last master of the Renaissance and the first master of Baroque art, and the style of this painting aptly reflects the alternation of these two great periods in the history of art.

In this respect, this painting is very special, probably the only one in the history of art, and it is of great research value, and it is precisely because it is both classicist and baroque that you cannot identify ,......"

Before the words fell, the antique shop was completely fried.

A terrible scream suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the antique shops and throughout Coronari Street!

"Steven, you're a robber and a liar! For only 28,000 euros, I sold a masterpiece of Caravaggio for this price, what a stupidity!"

No need to ask, of course this scream came from Simeone!
