Chapter 65

When Su Xiaoqi came out of the museum, there were only all kinds of sighs and envy left.

The Museum of Florence, currently the richest of the five museums, has been standing for more than 300 years, and the collection also shows the development of Florentine sculpture, oil paintings, handicrafts and other arts......

Her dream was to be a collector and antique dealer, and it was her lifelong wish to own a few priceless works of art, but at a young age, she owned a large museum, and the museum itself was a monument. This qiē can make her deeply realize, what is a nobleman and what is a commoner?

It is not a gap that can be closed in a generation by a single effort, and the two are born separated by a barrier. In comparison, he and her are the difference between a prince and a beggar!

Now, in her eyes, even he is like a monument, a descendant of the Medici family who came from the Renaissance era with the vision, concentration and enthusiasm of Renaissance people.

At night/fall, the cold emerald has some of the most beautiful sunsets and night views in all of Italy, and the view from here is unforgettable, because there are no words to describe the beauty of Florence.

After driving all the way to the young Ferrari, he parked his car on the bridge over the Arno River, where the lights of the shops painted the river gold, dazzling against the vast sky.

"Would you like to see the Arno River, which divides the Emerald into two parts, and on the other side of the river there is the famous Palazzo Pitti and the *Leigh Garden?" asked the young man.

"It seems...... Late?" she hesitated, staying at a hotel in the heart of Florence.

"Are you afraid that my place will not be able to entertain you?" the young man said with an Italian accent in his low voice, "I'll take you to the private palace first, and we'll visit the Pitti Palace tomorrow, and choose a room in it." ”

He was speaking of a place near the Garden, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, and in the early 14th century, the courtyard was the private courtyard of the Medici family, one of the most prominent nobles in Florence.

*Lee Garden is a Renaissance-style garden. It was a sign of honor for people of status at that time to be invited to the *lipai duì, to enjoy the performances of the royal musicians, and to taste the delicacies of the royal chefs, a place that originally belonged to the Medici family and was later opened to the public.

She couldn't help but wonder that the Garden of Lee, a treasure trove of art, was once voted as three of the ten magical gardens in the world, and is the most appreciated landscape in the Baroque style, blending nature and artistic wisdom together, and the palace that Giulio said was near the Garden of Leigh.

Su Xiaoqi sat on a chair in front of the round table in the back garden of the palace, with her hands on her knees, looking at the grass next to the fountain. Baroque architecture, radial paths, flowing fountains exude an atmosphere of warmth and elegance.

She was curious and followed him into the private palace, after all, this kind of place is usually not open to the public.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that the young man was like a little animal and took out a shiny thing from his pocket, picked it up and shook it in front of her eyes, "Do you want it?"

"What is it?" Su Xiaoqi's gaze swept with Julio's fingers, and her dark eyes were full of interest, "Silver coins?"

Julio played with the silver coin, and when he saw that she looked at it with a very cute expression, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Why don't you call my brother to listen." ”

A few black lines appeared on her forehead, and the kind of noble boy in him who likes to play tricks on others has popped up again?

Before she could speak, Giulio tossed the object over.

Su Xiaoqi hurriedly reached out and took the thing, closed her hands, lowered her head and opened her palm, and there was a silver coin in her palm.

She glanced down, smiled at Giulio, waved the coin, and said, "Can I throw it into the Trevi Fountain in Rome?"

Julio shifted his gaze to her, staring at the coins between the girl's fingers, looking up at the sly look in her eyes, slightly raised eyebrows, "Whatever you want!"

A smile bloomed on her lips, "How could I be willing to throw her away?"

The girl held the coin above her head and looked at it carefully, and on the coin was the image of a goddess with the element of a wheel, muttering to herself, "Stepping on a ball, the legendary god of luck, fortuna?"

Su Xiaoqi squinted her eyes and smiled, "Is it a silver coin from four hundred years ago?" It is engraved with Fortuna, the god of luck, the goddess of luck in Roman mythology, and the source of "lucky" fortune in English.

The image of the goddess on the coin is the goddess of gambling, who is also the god of gambling. As one of the oldest goddesses of the Roman city-state, while leading certain people to the path of luck and success, it also brought misfortune to some others.

He looked at her with a little meaning, "Fortuna is like fate, it brings misfortune to people, but also brings luck. ”

However, the happiness and misfortune here are not determined by traditional ethics. ”

"Oh, what you're saying is so profound. She tilted her head and leaned her back back against the chair.

As soon as she finished speaking, a necklace fell on her again.

Why do you want to give yourself this? She picked up the antique necklace, looked at the gems set on it, and exclaimed, "Hey, why did you give me such a valuable necklace? Girls can't just take men's things." ”

"There's a saying that jewelry is a woman's best friend," he said. ”

"So put them away. ”

The bewildered gaze in her eyes swept over the young man's face, so suspicious! Why was it so good to her?

"What I gave you, you will suffer in peace. "Don't worry," said the young man, "for no purpose. ”

She lowered her eyes and looked at the necklace, which was in the center of a vase-shaped box, which he had told her to store the silver coin.

Giving her a necklace for a coin? The nobleman's way of doing things is incredible.

She flipped the silver coin over, and on the reverse was the logo of the Medici family, an ancient coin like this had never been seen on the market, and it should be a currency with very little circulation, right?

She is neither a country or a humanoid poppy, the two of them really just have similar interests. She thought about it for a moment and carefully placed it in the vase box.

Sitting at the long table in the garden and enjoying the night view, the moon hid in the clouds, the capital of literature and art with a faint coldness and alienation, Fei Lengcui was as clear as a drizzle on the glass at this time, only intoxicated in his own world.

The young man is the son of a famous family who abides by etiquette and etiquette, and with him, she can almost completely put her mind at ease.

Giulio poured her a glass of wine, "Fortuna, 1868, the Belly family made a wine in Tuscany, a selection of the best wines in the winery, you can taste it." ”

Wow, even the name of the wine is fortuna?

She took a sip of it, and it was a top-notch wine, sweet and sweet, with an endless aftertaste, with the unique taste of Cana grape winemaking, which was really good.

After drinking for a while, she was a little drunk, so she tilted her head and said, "Julio, I want to hear about the past of the Medici family." ”

"Do you really want to hear it?" he smiled.

"Well," Su Xiaoqi nodded, "I want to know what happened in that prosperous era, it must be more interesting than the classes of historians and professors." ”

"Why is the symbol of the Medi family pills?" she asked, curiously, "Is it because it has something to do with medical skills?"

Julio looked at her and smiled, "Yes, our ancestors were related to doctors, and the Medici family loved things that had healing and healing effects, including art. ”

She remembered that the literature said that the Medici family name came from the ancestor who was the first famous doctor, and in Italian medico means doctor, so the family crest is also three pills.

Holding the cup, Giulio said, "Because I think that art is not only sculptures and paintings that are used to be viewed and collected, but also anything that can bring people a pleasant mood and have a healing effect can be called art." ”

He lowered his eyes and said, "So we are also willing to support scholars and the creation of modern art." ”

She remembered that someone who had watched "The Moon and Sixpence" commented on the artist: The whole world is chasing dreams, but he is chasing his bad luck, he is just a child, with a paranoid soul, the mood of a painter, he is so persistent in the direction of art, not for the sake of fame, people who are captured by dreams are always chasing their bad luck.

He is our child, a part of our soul, let us protect him well, let him grow up little by little, and protect our dreams. It is not the work that we love, but the soul of the artist.

I see! This is the origin of the Bellini family. They are probably the only ancient families who have come from the Middle Ages who have such noble taste and vision, and they can see that art has a healing effect, and that each generation has spared no effort to support this creation.

Seeing that she seemed to be a little drunk, Julio turned back to the butler and nodded, "Mr. Mario, please let the maid prepare Miss Caterina's room and take her to rest." ”

She was a little excited, not drunk at all, but when she heard him tell her, she yawned unconsciously, feeling that she was really sleepy, and a feeling of drowsiness came to her head.

"Then I'm going to rest first?" Su Xiaoqi yawned again and said tiredly.

He looked at her and said, "Good night." ”

"Well, good night. After she had said this, she got up from her chair and prepared to follow the maid away.

He whispered behind the young girl, "I'm sorry, there's one thing I didn't tell you. ”

The sound is almost inaudible.

"Huh?" she stopped, turning around.

"Nothing. The young man looked at her and said, "Rest early." ”

From the first floor to the staircase at the end of the corridor, Su Xiaoqi saw more than a dozen rooms of different sizes and different styles of decoration lined up from near and far, and the maid led her to one room.

When I woke up in the morning, I was greeted by a thousand golden flowers carved with four golden pillars and mosquito nets carved from the bedside, a huge dressing table, an elaborate fireplace with various silver wine glasses on the fireplace, and a bookshelf full of yellowed ancient books in different scripts and white feathers.

She lies on a large lavish bed with delicate cherub reliefs carved on the walls and in every corner. Su Xiaoqi looked at the ceiling for a long time, and the murals on the ceiling looked like a spinning heaven on the sky.

This is the princess's room, right?

In the sunlight in front of the window, on the chair with gold armrests and red upholstery, it seemed that there was really a lonely princess with long hair like gold thread. She was dressed in a palace dress, and her blue eyes looked out the window thoughtfully, waiting for the appearance of the prince in the white dress in her mind......

The windows open to the southeast, and the morning sunlight shines in, making the whole room extra bright. When she was a child, she wanted to live like a princess, but she didn't expect to wake up from a palace one day, and for a moment she thought she had crossed over.

Coming out of the room, he walked down the long corridor and met a maid on the way, "Miss, are you looking for Master Julio?" she stopped and asked.

"I'll take you. The maid said. Su Xiaoqi then found that the maid didn't take her over, and she really didn't know where she was.

Out of the end of the corridor, into a room, "Julio?" she saw him and felt like she was a guest in his house.

After breakfast, Giulio took her to see the garden in *li.

Walking in the garden, I only have the gentle breeze brushing over the leaves and the crisp chirping of birds in the sky. Green vines wrap around the wooden trulls one by one, adding a green dome to the forest path.

A small ball of flesh flashed at his feet and disappeared into the woods. She stopped, and even wondered for a moment if this was the wonderland of Alice's dreams.

The line of sight swept over, and it turned out that it was a squirrel that came out of nowhere from time to time mischievously shuttling through this endless green corridor.

The monuments here are mottled, but they do not show the slightest sign of withering, the woods are luxuriant, but they do not show the slightest gloomy atmosphere, and every qiē is so quiet and beautiful. On the lawn of the forest, a large white marble stands upright, called "Eye in the Sky".

When they arrived at the gate of the Palazzo Pitti, she was struck by the extreme sight of her eyes from the moment she stepped into the gate. * The mansion renovated by the Leigh family can be described as luxurious, it is enough to shock everyone with the gold/hall.

The entire hall is decorated in gold, on the walls, ceilings and ceilings, and there are no dark corners in the room, and every corner exudes a dazzling gold.

Even if it was only for a moment, a noble and gorgeous aura unique to the royal family completely surrounded her whole person.

The palace where the Medici family once lived was truly extraordinary, and she remembered the Baroque Palazzo Corsini, whose interior was extraordinarily grand, elegant and light-filled, making it the perfect venue for the exposition.

After the visit, the two walked out of the * palace, and an arrogant girl came to meet them, this is a typical Italian girl, the long roll of the waves is very beautiful, and the figure and face are very good.

The girl stopped and glanced at Julio, but Julio didn't look at her, he said to Su Xiaoqi, "The last time I met you by the river, why did you choose to engage in art patronage?"

Su Xiaoqi replied, "Actually, my intimate relationship with art is also acquired in my bones, and if it weren't for my father, I wouldn't be as fascinated by art as I am today." ”

The young man smiled slightly, "It's something that is in the blood, and once you set foot on this land, you'll love it." ”

"Well, you mean my father?" she was a little surprised, Julio's words were really strange, wasn't he a commoner?

The two of them chatted and left.

"Miss Maggie, the man you like won't look at you. The grim man in the suit behind her said.

"Why doesn't he look at me?" said Maggie, "I'm so beautiful, and I can outshine the power behind me." ”

"Mademoiselle, the Bellini family will not marry the mafia family, I advise you not to mess with that man, he is the real uncrowned king of Florence. ”

"So what?" Maggie wanted to get him.

From the first sight of him, her heart was completely on this man.

"Miss, in this world, not everyone you can touch. The man said, "Your circle and the underworld are two completely different worlds. ”

She and Giulio continued to walk, and the towering dome of the cathedral could be seen in the cold emerald complex, no matter where they were in the city, with it, it was easy to discern the direction.

Sanmaria delfiore, the symbol of the Emerald del Fiore, looks like a beautiful flower blooming under a blue sky when viewed from a distance in the nearby streets.

No camera can capture the entirety of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, which was built in the 4th century A.D. as the church of Santa Reparata, the fourth largest church in Europe.

Cosimo of the Medici family commissioned Brunelleschi, the architect of his time, to design and build the world's largest cathedral dome.

For more than 500 years, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fiore has stood strongly, not only on this land, but also in the hearts of millions of people.

Gorgeous mosaic windows, the sunlight from here, let the flowers show a colorful and dazzling beauty...... The main altar of the church, under which rests the architect of the dome, Brunelleschi, rests the dome.

The paintings on the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral are a powerful positive energy that subverts the dark Middle Ages, awakening the vitality of Europa, spanning five centuries and shocking every heart that goes on a pilgrimage.

In front of her, the most beautiful church in the world, she is like a girl dancing in the sun, wearing a gauze skirt, natural but gorgeous, pure and charming.

Florensa is known as Athens in the West.

Michelangelo, who was invited to the Palazzo Medici at the age of 15 to receive family sponsorship, was the last two rulers of the Medici family, Lorenzo II and Giulino, who was assassinated at a young age, and meticulously carved four statues of "Day", "Night", "Morning" and "Dusk".

In the exhibition hall of the Florence Beauty Museum, there are many people who love art every day with pen and paper to copy all angles of the sculpture, and they are faced with such a perfect work of art, and they may be able to paint it with their own hands, which is a manifestation of inner pride and admiration for the master.

The statue of David can be praised by generations of people, and it must have an artistic essence that is unmatched by other works. And this David statue is the original work of the master's hand.

The handsome face, the standard torso proportions, the smooth muscle lines, and even the capillaries as small as the back of the hands are clearly visible, it is simply a rare mannequin, and to this day, it is enough to be called the standard of a male god.

As she left the Florence Belle Mercande, she took one last look at the statue of David in the exhibition hall, and it turned out to be ...... The unfortunate assassination of Julino is the one who was called "Xiaowei" by the students of the Academy of Fine Arts who studied drawing.

All the way up is Piazzale Michelangelo, and the upward steps along the way are quite difficult. But it's definitely worth the effort, and the whole view of the Emerald is in full view.

The wind brings the bells of the church on the top of the hill, ancient and long, as if the prosperity of the past has been restored, and the Florentine sun has banished the darkness of the Middle Ages.

Streamers and glitz are always light and fleeting...... But Fei Leng Cui will always leave behind the beauty of flowers and the brilliance of the Renaissance.

"Julio, I'm going back to Rome tomorrow. She turned back and said, "Welcome to Rome, and I will serve you with good tea." ”

Giulio stood in the square and said, "That's a deal, I'll come over in a while." ”
