Chapter 1652 Immortal David
About 20 minutes later, the convoy was already driving into the old town of Florence, and the speed of the car immediately slowed down, and the scenery outside the window suddenly became much more beautiful.
The change in the scenery outside the window gives the impression of suddenly returning from modern times to ancient times, which is very magical.
The streets through which the convoy passed were all antique, and there was not a single modern building in sight.
These streets are lined with ancient buildings built in various eras and styles, lined up and colorful, giving this ancient city a rich color.
There are Romanesque and Gothic buildings from before the Middle Ages, as well as Renaissance buildings, as well as Baroque and Rococo buildings.
In front of the door, in the corner, and on the balcony of these ancient buildings, they are basically filled with delicate flowers and verdant greenery, which are enthusiastic and vibrant, just like the Italian attitude towards life.
As the motorcade crosses a street corner or passes through a square, you will always see some beautifully carved and artistic sculpture or fountain, perhaps by a famous artist.
In addition, these centuries-old streets are full of motorcycles, most of which are light scooters, and there are very few cars and bicycles.
This is one of the great features of Florence, and perhaps the biggest and most obvious difference between modern and ancient Florence, and the rest of the place seems to be pretty much the same!
Perhaps, in the eyes of some, the city is too old, and the buildings that have existed for hundreds of years are too dilapidated to compare with the glamorous and well-equipped modern buildings.
However, in Ye Tian's eyes, the entire city of Florence seemed to be shrouded in a rainbow, which was extremely beautiful!
In the eyes of all those who love history and art, this ancient city is a huge treasure and a paradise of art, and its value is incomparable!
Every building, every street, every sculpture and fountain here has its own wonderful story, and all radiate a dazzling humanist light, which is eye-catching!
Looking at the beautiful scenery that kept flashing outside the car window, Ye Tian and Betty, who were sitting in the car, had long been deeply attracted by this ancient city and were fascinated by it.
"Wow, the streets of Florence are so beautiful, they are more lively and colorful than the old town of Paris, and the scenery of the old town of Nice is a bit similar to here!"
Betty said with emotion, her eyes full of fascination.
Ye Tian turned his head to look at his wife, then smiled and whispered:
"Compared to Paris, the old town of Florence is better preserved and more complete, and the old town of Florence that we see today is almost no different from what people saw hundreds of years ago!
Not counting the motorcycles, neon signs, signs, and other modern items on the streets, of course, Florence can be transformed into a Renaissance city in an instant.
In this city, we can see old buildings and sculptures from the Middle Ages and even earlier, such as the Chapel of San Giovanni, a representative of Romanesque architecture built between the 5th and 8th centuries!
We can also see ancient buildings from the early Renaissance, the most famous of which is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, a landmark of Florence built in 1296 and one of the three domes of Europe,......"
At the same time as Ye Tian introduced Florence, the capital of art, the motorcade passed through the ancient streets and quickly drove to the Medici Villa Hotel, located in the center of the old city.
The old town of Florence is small in size, less than three kilometers in length and width.
It didn't take long for the Medici Villa Hotel, which had been converted from an eighteenth-century aristocratic palace, to appear in front of the convoy and break into everyone's field of vision!
At this time, there was an introduction to the ancient city of Florence, and Ye Tian only talked about it for less than a third of the time, so he had to stop.
Since the room had been booked before, and Charlie had already checked in, it was a lot easier!
Therefore, after Ye Tian and the others arrived, they almost didn't make any delays, and went directly to the room that had been booked, and did not stay in the hotel lobby for long.
Even so, many guests in the hotel still saw Ye Tian and them, and knew that their group stayed in this five-star hotel, which immediately caused a commotion!
Especially thinking of Ye Tian's past deeds, many tourists can't help but be worried, lest they encounter the disaster of the pond fish.
Of course, there are also many guys who are excited to watch the excitement.
After entering the presidential suite, which is located on the top floor of the hotel and has the best view and view, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective as usual, and thoroughly saw every corner of the entire suite, just in case!
Prior to this, Charlie and his family had thoroughly inspected the presidential suite and other rooms, and made some anti-eavesdropping and anti-surveillance arrangements to prevent anyone from spying on them.
However, what Ye Tian believes most is still his omnipotent eyes.
After see-through, he did not find any monitoring and listening equipment in this presidential suite, and the room was quiet and safe, so he could stay with confidence.
Later, he and Betty opened the suitcase, took out the luggage they were carrying, then washed and changed clothes, and rested for a while to adjust the jet lag and condition.
In the blink of an eye, it was three o'clock in the afternoon,
Ye Tian and Betty, who were in a good condition, left the Medici Villa Hotel by car and officially began to visit Florence, an ancient city full of humanities and arts.
The first stop they chose was the famous Piazzale Michelangelo.
Ten minutes later, the bulletproof SUV they were riding in had arrived at Piazzale Michelangelo and stopped on the side of the road in front of the square.
After the car stopped, Ye Tian and Betty got out of the car, and then under the escort of Cole and several other security personnel, they walked along the steps towards the square while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
Seven or eight meters behind them, followed by three or four Italian policemen in civilian clothes, as well as two of Giovanni's men, also dressed in civilian clothes, Italian cultural relics gendarmes.
As always, during the journey, Ye Tian once again assumed the role of a tour guide and introduced Michelangelo to Betty and the others.
"The reason why this square is called Piazzale Michelangelo is because in the center of the square stands one of the famous symbols of Florence, Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece, "David".
Unfortunately, in the last century, the city of Florence moved the sculpture "David" to the gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in order to preserve the famous sculpture.
Now if you want to see Michelangelo's "David" by his own hands, you can only go to the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, and later today, or tomorrow morning, we will go and enjoy it.
After the removal of David, the city of Florence erected a replica of the bronze sculpture David in its original place, which at first glance looks indistinguishable from the original.
Piazzale Michelangelo is located on the high ground at the southern end of Florence, standing on the square, you can overlook the panoramic view of Florence, so it is the first stop for many people to start their trip to Florence!"
As they spoke, the group entered Piazzale Michelangelo.
Not far in front of them stood the bronze statue of David, looking down on all of Florence and all the tourists who came to visit!
Seeing this replica of Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece, Ye Tian and the others couldn't help but stop, standing in place, admiring this shocking sculpture from a distance.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud whistle in everyone's ears, revealing a bit of frivolity, and it came from the mouths of several different people.
"Shh——!h
The first time he heard these whistles, Ye Tian immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes!
He could already hear that these slightly frivolous whistles were coming for a few of them, or to be precise, probably for Betty!
