Before she came to Italy, Rome was just a noun for herself, and all she knew was that the Hippodrome, the Basilica of Constantine, the Place Trajan, and so on, were in that distant country......

Descending from the Eurostar metro to the south of Rome, the father and daughter walked out of a laneway to a neat road and stopped in front of a house surrounded by white picket fences.

Mr. John opened the courtyard door and walked in, and she followed Mr. John into the door.

This house is very big, they entered from the door, it was divided into three floors, upstairs and downstairs, the top was the study, and the one on the right above the spiral staircase was her room, Su Xiaoqi looked at this room, the beige tone, the room was very tidy and warm.

Mr. John said this is where she lived when she was a child.

She thinks this is very good, her father is just an ordinary antique dealer, although the family is rich, but it is not the special wealth of the rich family, and having too much money and too complicated family relationship background is not what she wants.

She wasn't hungry at all because she had eaten on the plane, but after a long journey, she felt a little tired." Caterina, rest first, and I'll take you to see the city of Rome tomorrow morning." Mr. John said to her.

Su Xiaoqi came to the bedroom, looked at the wardrobe, took out a set of pajamas to change into, and then she lay down on the bed, and fell asleep on the pillow after a while.

Over the next few days, Mr. John took her around the city of Rome.

The two of them rounded the winding streets and came to the ancient city of Rome, where triumphal arches were found in many parts of Rome, the Arch of Titus, the Arc de Triomphe of Severus, the Arch of Constantine......

Walking into the ruined walls, on the Colosseum in the shade of green pines and cypresses, the protracted battle has disappeared after a thousand years...... The ground that was once full of sand now grows green moss, and the walls are overgrown with weeds.

Overlooking the ruins of the Palatine Hill Senate, which had once been the bustling commercial and political center of the ancient Roman Republic, she suspected that she had returned to Rome more than 200 years ago.

Passing through the city of Rome, they can see some ruins at any time, it is said that there are so many of these ruins in Rome that you can find a random piece of it, a random statue on the street, a fountain, and put it in other places can be put into the museum for offering.

There are steps where Audrey Hepburn sat in the Plaza de España, and she sat down and squinted her eyes, imagining a picture of Audrey Hepburn's Princess Anne sitting on it and eating a type of gelato, made from fresh milk and served with a variety of fruits.

The stairs here are obviously preferred to be used for sitting, because the scene of Princess Anne eating ice cream on the movie screen is so classic.

His father, Mr. John, sat next to him and smiled, "Do you want to sit leisurely on the Spanish steps and eat delicious gelato like Princess Anne in the film?"

She smiled sheepishly, "Remembering the classic Hepburn shot from that movie." dolce, sweet, the word favored by Italians, a woman who is naturally beautiful in Italy, if she is not a dolce, she is not a beauty.

The dark-haired man said, "Unfortunately, eating and drinking are not allowed on the steps, especially gelato." Why?" she asked, curious. The police will blow the whistle." He looked at the policeman standing not far from the square.

She couldn't help but smile slightly.

The father, Mr. John, turned his head and said, "Although my daughter can't sit and eat the delicious gelato like a princess, we can feel the scenery and the art."

Mr. John took her to a place where there was an old shop on the street, and the dim light and the aroma of coffee beans filled the coffee shop, which still maintained its 100-year-old décor." It's the best café in Italy." When the two of them came in, Mr. John said to her from his seat.

Su Xiaoqi took a sip of the coffee, with a bit of bitterness but a long aftertaste, and at one point, Byron or Goethe sat in this position to taste the rich aroma from the coffee?"espresso, absolutely concentrated coffee essence, this is the taste of Italy......" Mr. John said to her, and he ordered another cup of affogato ice cream for her.

Ice cream was invented by the Italians and perfected in the 16th century by a priest from Sicily who perfected its zuò making technique.

Poured over a cup of fragrant coffee espresso over hazelnut or rum chocolate ice cream, affogato confu ice cream, was a traditional Roman way of eating.

Opened in 1760, the café is dressed in elegant black gowns and meticulous bow ties, and the style here is not like casual Italian.

The reason for entering this café is to follow in the footsteps of Byron, Wilde, Goethe, and others, the masters of literature and art, many of whom have studied literature and art here." I'll take you to Venice tomorrow." Mr. John said to her.

The next morning, they set off for Venice, the queen of the Adriatic Sea, cruising on the gondola canal on a water bus, her eyes like reading a history of water architecture.

Not far away is the Rialto Bridge from The Merchant of Venice, under which boatmen sing unknown songs, and the old stone bridge is lined with shops and boats......

The canals shimmer in the sun, and the buildings of different styles are full of a strange charm on the sparkling water.

The white palace of Palazzo Graci, the carved Gothic Palazzo Faslica, the splendid golden mansion with its four-leaf cloister, the Palazzo Pesaro and the carved window frames of unknown buildings show the beauty of the Gothic ......

They came to the center of the water capital, St. Mark's Church, the Byzantine style building added Gothic decoration, and the structure of the whole church presented a Greek cross-shaped design, successfully integrating various artistic styles of architecture from the East and the West, without any abrupt traces.

The Cathedral of Our Lady is very quiet, only visited by tourists in twos and threes, and the exquisite paintings on the main altar shine brightly, and she sits in the quiet and exquisite hall, quietly feeling the breath of holiness.

Mr. John said beside her: "Caterina, you see, this is the work of Titian, the master of the water capital, and here we can admire the work of Titian, the master of color, so closely."

She looked up, and the painting on the altar was visually striking, beautiful, and enjoyable.

Mr. John told her, "Titian took the technique of color to the extreme, and he was particularly fond of red and gold, and in this painting he made extensive use of red and gold, which later generations called 'Titian Red' and 'Titian Gold'......"

Mr. John explained to her the concepts, techniques, and styles of Shuidu School paintings.

He turned back to Su Xiaoqi and said: "As an antique dealer, you need to have intuition, insight, curiosity, energy and passion, and of course, most importantly - a deep love for art.

At first, she had a vague impression of Italy, but when she and Mr. John traveled together, they were struck by the Mediterranean country of the narrow blue coastline, the gorgeous Renaissance architecture and sculptures, the Venetian gondola cruising on the canals, the Eternal City of Rome, the Vatican...... This qiē is fascinating.

A warm wind blows over the ancient Adriatic Ocean, and the afternoon sun is abundant, giving the sea a bright color like sapphire.

Italians have heard that they are willing to spend more money for romance, Italian jewelry sets off a variety of women, earrings may be indispensable for Italian girls, and beautiful and brilliant earrings like mikimoto pearls always play a strong role.

The small shops on the street are decorated with lovely lace and potted flowers, and there is a stall with unique jewelry, and the price of waterdrop hollow carved earrings is a little expensive.

They turned to a shop in the market, and Mr. John looked down and asked her, "Is there anything you like?"

She shook her head at the dazzling array of goods, because she really didn't know what to buy. Then, follow me." He said, taking her to a jewelry store. Ruby or Sapphire?" he bent □ at the counter.

Beneath the glass counter are bright garnets, colorful spinels, dazzling rubies and pristine sapphires.

She looked at him, and saw that she had no idea about gem appreciation, and turned to look at Mr. John.

He said, "Katerina, your name comes from Lady Caterina Sforza, and I think Sapphire is the best fit for you."

Mr. John chose for her: "There are two kinds of best sapphire blues: cornflower and royal blue." After the death of Mr. Morgan, the American Museum of Natural History donated an early collection of sapphires weighing 563.35 carats, and the more than 60 carats of Rockefeller sapphires at the New York auction set a record for the unit price and the total price of sapphires in the world.

He removed an old antique ring from his finger and asked the jewelry store staff to take a 10-carat sapphire and set it on it.

His eyes stared at the sapphire and said: "Sapphire is a rare gemstone in the world.

The sapped blue ring was elegant and classic, and he handed it to her, "This is a family heirloom, a gift from your father."

Mr. John smiled at her and said, "If you have a lover, legend has it that love will make the sapphire more dazzling, and when one of you changes her mind, the luster will dim and disappear.

In the past few days with Mr. John, she has felt a kind of selfless love in him, and she has been touched by this pampering and protection.

His silent proverbs about her past made her realize that sometimes the silence of others is a kind of protection for you.

Back in Rome, passing through Piazza Barberini, there is a fountain of Neptune, which is the symbol of Rome's illustrious Barberini family, and walk to the Barberini Palace in the alley of the square - the old rule, no photography is allowed in the gallery!

Mr. John smiled at her and said, "There is also a gallery in the store, would you like to go and see it?" She nodded and decided to go back to her family's antique shop first and visit Palazzo Barberini next time.

Mr. John took her to an antique shop located in the north of the city of Rome.

They enter through the door of the store, the simple lines and no intricate carved arches are like historical tunnels, the interior decoration is elegant and dignified, the space is perfectly divided, the exquisite antiques are excellently set off, and many arc arches invite people to explore the classics and luxury.

Her father took her into a gallery exhibition hall, and the walls of the room were covered with more than a dozen oil paintings, with exquisite frames, and the golden sunlight poured in, which was poetic and picturesque.

Mr. John explained to her the age of these works, the painter's genre, philosophy, creative techniques, and style, and she was unconsciously drawn into the conversation." Katerina, your mother went early, so I always took you with me, this is the antique shop run by the family, and it is the fourth generation that has been passed down to my father, and you will be the fifth ......generation," said her father, Mr. John.

The way Mr. John smiled at her reminded Su Xiaoqi of her father, and gradually overlapped with the image of Mr. John in front of her, and she regarded him as the only relative in this world in her heart.

When she woke up the next morning, she changed into a suit of clothes and walked down the stairs, and Mr. John was reading an invitation in his hand. Do you want to see the Florentine Antiques Exhibition? I'll take you." Mr. John asked, turning his head.

Arriving in Italy these days, her curiosity was strongly aroused and nodded.

"The antiques fair will start in a few days, where the best Italian works of art will be exhibited, and my assistant Mr. Dirmit and I are also planning an exhibition of the works of the most outstanding painters of the eighteenth century," says Mr. John. Is that what I saw in the gallery?" "Yes, there is a group of works by the painter Barovia, who was one of the most brilliant painters of the 18th century."
