Florence is a city located in central Italy and the capital of Tuscany, located in a basin in the western foothills of the middle Apennine Mountains.

In the 15th and 16th centuries, Florence was the most famous art center in Europe, the birthplace and core city of the Renaissance movement, and gave birth to countless great writers and artists.

Among them, the most famous and outstanding are the three masters of Renaissance literature, Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, and the three masters of Renaissance art, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Michelangelo.

It was these literary giants and top masters of art who, with their ideas and works, shattered the darkness of the Middle Ages, ushered in a period of revolution in science and art, and opened the prelude to the history of modern Europe.

In Western history, the Renaissance movement is considered to be the dividing line between the Middle Ages and modern times, and to a certain extent, it is also considered to be the historical dividing line between ignorance and civilization.

As the center of the Renaissance movement, Florence gave birth to and nurtured countless great literary and artistic works, and always radiated a brilliant humanist light.

The Renaissance movement has also left a valuable legacy for the city, and walking through the streets of Florence is a mesmerizing reminder of the Renaissance movement.

There are statues of Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio and others, various famous aphorisms carved in stone and buildings, and beautiful and moving poems, most of which come from these literary giants.

There are also frescoes by Leonardo da Vinci, Madonna by Raphael, and buildings and sculptures by Michelangelo, which are scattered all over the city, adding countless cultural flavors to the city.

It is precisely because of the Renaissance and its legacy that Florence has become a famous cultural city and an artistic paradise, full of attractions.

In modern times, Florence is still the world's art capital and a world-famous cultural tourist destination, attracting countless tourists from all over the world.

Ye Tian and Betty were no exception, and they set the first stop on their trip to Italy in Florence instead of Rome, the seat of the Vatican.

On this day in mid-November, a sleek silver-gray private jet roared from the northwest sky and landed steadily on the runway of Florence's Peretola International Airport.

The private jet came to a stop on the airport runway, the hatch opened, and it was Ye Tian and Betty, as well as Anderson and Cole, who came out of this Bombardier Global Express 8000 private jet.

Compared with New York, which has been snowing heavily, Florence has a subtropical Mediterranean climate, the weather is much better, neither hot nor cold, and it is a very good tourist season.

At this time, Ye Tian and Betty, each wearing casual clothes, were in a relaxed state, looking like they had come to Florence for sightseeing, and they were not much different from other tourists.

Coming out of the cabin, standing at the door of the cabin, he quickly glanced at Peretola Airport, Ye Tian took Betty's hand, walked down the gangway, and landed on the airport runway.

After that, Cole and the others began to carry their luggage down from the plane.

There wasn't a lot of luggage on this private jet, only seven or eight metal trolley cases, just enough for one person!

In fact, a chartered plane flew from New York to Florence yesterday, and a large number of Ye Tian's security personnel and luggage, including a large amount of weapons and ammunition, arrived in Florence yesterday.

While Cole and the others were carrying their luggage, several black Mercedes-Benz SUVs, two police cars, and a shuttle bus suddenly drove out of the terminal and headed straight for the Bombardier private jet.

Soon, the vehicles were driving next to the private jet and stopping on the runway.

As soon as the car stopped, the doors of the first two Mercedes-Benz SUVs opened.

Immediately afterwards, Charlie and several security personnel quickly got out of the car, raised their hands to say hello to Ye Tian and them, and then converged with Cole and the others and stood on guard.

Charlie and the others arrived in Florence yesterday and were in charge of the front station for everyone.

Emerging from the two Mercedes SUVs in the back were Leonardo and several members of the Vatican's Swiss Guard, all familiar faces who had been to Boston before.

In addition, there were also several police officers on the two police cars, and judging by the police rank on their shoulders, they should be the top executives of the Florentine police, their faces were quite solemn, and there seemed to be a little worry in their eyes.

As soon as he got out of the car, Leonardo walked over to Ye Tian and Betty, with a bright smile on his face.

When he got closer, the old friend immediately said politely:

"Good morning, Steven, and welcome to Florence, it's a pleasure to meet you here, and I very much hope that we will have a good time working together in the coming time to achieve our goals."

Ye Tian shook hands with the Vatican priest, then said with a smile:

"Good morning, Leonardo, I'm glad to meet you, the weather in Florence is really good, the wind and the sun are beautiful, much better than New York, I love this beautiful city, I've been longing for it for a long time!

As long as the information you provide is true and valid, I believe it will not be difficult for us to achieve our goals and achieve a result that is both happy and satisfactory to both parties."

After a few pleasantries, Leonardo greeted Betty and Anderson again.

Immediately afterward, he turned his head and asked in a low voice:

"Steven, why don't you just go to Rome and the Vatican, but come to Florence?

As soon as you arrive in Rome, we can negotiate immediately, and as long as we reach an agreement, we can immediately sign a commissioned exploration agreement, and then launch a joint exploration operation to achieve the goal as soon as possible!"

Ye Tian shook his head slightly, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Leonardo, time is there, you've all been waiting for more than seven hundred years, so what's the matter if you wait a few more days?

I'm an expert in antiques and a treasure hunter by profession, so since I'm in Italy, how could I miss Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance?

Next, we will spend a few days in Florence to explore this beautiful city and experience the great charm of this art capital!

After leaving Florence, we will go to Milan, the capital of fashion, where we will visit for a few days to test one of my conjectures before going to Rome."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, what else could Leonardo say?

He only nodded and agreed, who let the Vatican ask for this guy in front of him, he can only rely on the other party's temperament, and he can't be annoyed!

"Well, Steven, I hope you can enjoy this wonderful time to the fullest, and in the meantime, we will always stay in Florence, if there is anything you need help with, just ask!"

"That's great, Leonardo, if there's anything you need help with, I'm not going to be polite to you."

Ye Tian hit the snake with the stick, smiled and nodded and said.

After chatting a few more words, Ye Tian and the others boarded the shuttle bus with their luggage and drove straight to the airport terminal, ready to undergo customs clearance, and then go to Florence City.
