The whistle was made by four Italian boys, about ten or twenty years old, all with oily hair and pink faces, standing in the square seven or eight meters away, giggling and laughing, and looking at this side.

Beside them, there were several scooters, each of which had been modified and looked bells and whistles, and how well they behaved is unknown.

As Ye Tian expected, those guys were whistling at Betty, and they looked Betty up and down unscrupulously, unabashedly trying to hide their intentions.

Seeing Ye Tian and Betty looking at their side, those guys not only did not relent, but became more energetic, and continued to whistle, their voices became louder.

"What the hell are these fucking idiots trying to do? Are you tired of being alive? Let's go over and see, I don't mind giving them a ride!"

Ye Tian cursed in a low voice with a gloomy face, and was going to go over and give those fools a little color.

At this moment, Anderson suddenly grabbed him, shook his head lightly and whispered:

"Steven, there's no need to deal with those idiots, this is a typical Italian man, he can't help but want to tease when he sees a beautiful woman, let alone such a beautiful and sexy beauty as Betty.

Just like in the famous movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", every Italian man is pretentious and self-proclaimed to be a saint of love, young and old, and there is no exception to this!

They may just think Betty is beautiful and sexy, so they can't help but want to tease, and there is no malice, since we are in Italy, this situation is inevitable!"

Before Anderson's words fell, the fools suddenly stopped whistling frivolously, and looked at Ye Tian and them in surprise one by one, and everyone showed a little fear in their eyes.

Obviously, it was only at this time that those fools recognized Ye Tian with light-colored sunglasses, and only then did they realize what a stupid thing they had just done, and they were definitely killing themselves!

However, it's too late to regret it now!

Although Ye Tian was stopped by Anderson, he didn't go over to trouble those idiots, and the Italian policemen who followed behind him would not let go of these idiots.

Two of them, dressed in civilian clothes, gritted their teeth and walked over to the idiots, ready to clean up the guys!

Of course, these two policemen were not angry with Ye Tian, they knew very well that Ye Tian and the others were all armed with lethal weapons, and they were all ruthless, killing people was as easy as drinking water, and it was definitely not something that those fools could afford to provoke.

If you provoke a fight because of those few fools who don't know whether to live or die, and even turn Piazzale Michelangelo into a battlefield full of bullets, then your own people will be completely finished, and you will definitely be unlucky!

Because of this, the two policemen walked over angrily, ready to calm down the situation as soon as possible before Ye Tian and them made a move!

Seeing that the police had already taken action, Ye Tian didn't bother to deal with those idiots anymore.

He glanced at the fellows with disdain, then raised a middle finger at the fools, then withdrew his gaze and said to the men beside him:

"Let's go, let's go over and have a good look at this famous statue, although this is a replica, it still has a certain appreciation value"

After finishing speaking, Ye Tian took Betty and walked forward and walked towards the tall "David".

In the blink of an eye, they had come to the pedestal of the statue of David, stopped five or six meters away from the pedestal, raised their heads and began to admire this famous human sculpture.

Standing about 5.5 meters tall, this famous sculpture depicts the biblical Jewish hero King David before his duel with the giant Goliath.

The statue has a resolute complexion, its head tilted to the left, the tendons of its neck bulging, as if it is about to enter a fight, the muscles near its upper lip and nose tense, and its eyes looking intently into the distance.

David's drooping upper right vein bulged, obviously nervous, but his body was very relaxed, his weight was on his right leg, he held the stone in his right hand, bent forward with his left hand, and put the stone belt on his left shoulder.

The contrast between his nervous complexion and relaxed posture showed that David had just made the decision to fight, but he had not yet set foot on the battlefield and was preparing for battle.

Looking closely, one can see that there are many unusual things about this human sculpture.

Michelangelo's carved eyes in the shape of a heart were considered a failure by many, but proved to be the perfect finishing touch.

The upper body of the statue, especially the head and left hand, is larger than normal, most likely because the statue was originally placed on the roof, and the upper part of the statue was deliberately enlarged so that people could admire it from below.

The width of the front and back of the statue is narrow compared to the height of the statue, which may be related to the original shape of the marble.

The statue stands on a high marble pedestal, in the middle of Piazzale Michelangelo, looking down on the people of the square, the river Arno flowing quietly at the foot of the mountain, and the whole of Florence!

Standing in front of the statue and admiring it quietly for a while, Ye Tian began to introduce the famous sculpture and the hidden story behind the sculpture to Betty and the others.

Although the statue of David in front of everyone is a bronze replica, you can also appreciate David's resolute look, perfect figure, combination of strength and beauty.

Unlike other heroic images that depict David defeating the giant Goliath, cutting off Goliath's head and carrying it in his hands, Michelangelo chose the scene where David greets the battle.

With his carving knife, he vividly portrayed the image of a hero who fought for his cause: young, handsome, robust, with a determined demeanor, looking ahead, always ready to fight.

I won't go into detail here about David's victory over the giant Goliath and his ascension to becoming king of Israel, which is recorded in the Bible, and you all know it."

Hearing this, Betty and the others both nodded slightly.

They both grew up in the Western world, and many of the stories in the Bible are familiar, including, of course, the story of King David's victory over the giant Goliath.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

The original sculptor who was contracted to carve the statue of David was another famous Renaissance sculptor, Donatello, and the carving began in 1464.

Sadly, Donatello stopped carving after only a few initial works, for reasons unknown until his death in 1466, when he did not finish the statue of David.

It was a stroke of great luck for the statue of David, and decades after Donatello's death, the Florentine authorities decided to find another artist to complete the work.

They found Michelangelo, who took over the job in 1501 and spent almost three years finalizing the great sculpture.

In January 1504, when the statue was almost completed, there was a discussion about where the statue would be placed, and it was originally planned to be placed on the top floor of the church as part of the Old Testament group of twelve heroes.

However, the beauty of the statue was so striking that it was finally decided to place it at the entrance to the Palazzo Vecchio of the Town Hall, in place of a bronze statue of Donatello, representing the Florentine spirit of defiance of power.

In the history of Western art, this statue is considered one of the most boastful male body statues, and not only that, "David" is the embodiment of Renaissance humanist ideas.

Its celebration of the human body, ostensibly a 'revival' of ancient Greek art, is in fact a sign of the liberation of man from the suffocating shackles of the dark Middle Ages.

Michelangelo injected great enthusiasm into the carving process, and what he created was not just a statue of the human body, but a symbol of the artistic expression of the emancipation movement.

As the pinnacle of sculpture and art in the entire Renaissance era, Michelangelo's "David" will forever shine brightly in the history of art,......"

With Ye Tian's explanation, Betty and Anderson have been deeply attracted by this famous sculpture, and their understanding of this famous sculpture has become more profound!

At this time, there were more than a few people listening to Ye Tian's explanation.

Many tourists who visited Michelangelo's Square saw or heard that Ye Tian was explaining the statue of David here, and immediately heard the wind and quickly gathered here to listen with great interest.

As for the oily Italian idiots just now, they have long disappeared at this time, and they have long been blown away by those Italian policemen in civilian clothes!
