After the greetings, the head of Xia Yuxiang said, "We are new to Italy, Oliver, you can give us an overall impression of Italy, and then introduce a famous city, I can also take a look, and then our plans and itinerary." ”

"If I had to recommend visiting cities to see the fashion and romance of Italy, I would recommend the following four cities, Rome, the capital of fashion, Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, Venice, the city of Venice, and Milan, the capital of fashion. ”

"These four cities have their own characteristics, but also have a certain representative, very famous, a few days ago, I took you to Rome, to Rome a few attractions, and then we went to see the birthplace of the Renaissance Florence, which is also a very worthwhile place, and then we go to the water city of Venice, Venice is no stranger to Chinese audiences, you must be very familiar with Venice, the fashion capital Milan is also very famous, models on the catwalk, fashionable and wonderful, I promise that the next trip will be very meaningful. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Then let's go to Florence first, let's feel the Renaissance, I'll book tickets immediately, everyone is ready to pack up, I'll book the tickets and notify everyone to leave." ”

Two days later, Xia Yuxiang took everyone to Florence, for this city, Qu Lihua was the first time to go, full of curiosity, listening to Oliver introduced that Florence is a city in central Italy.

"When it comes to Florence, I am still very proud to be an Italian, the city has a long history, in the 15th and 16th centuries, Florence was the most famous art center in Europe, which I want to focus on, Florence is the most famous world art capital, the center of European culture, the birthplace of the European Renaissance movement, and the birthplace of opera. ”

"It is the original capital of Italy, the cultural center of Italy, because the city has a cultural heritage, so in Italy, it has a very important position, the urban area still maintains the pattern of the ancient Roman period, many medieval architectural art, museums and art galleries, the Uffizi and Pitti art galleries are world-famous, the world's first art academy, the world's highest art school Florence Academy of Fine Arts is famous all over the world, the essence of Italian painting is gathered here, we must go and see. ”

Meng Wenjie nodded, when we were in France, Professor Abner also mentioned, "Florence is not only the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance movement, but also the birthplace of European culture, I have long wanted to come here to have a look, this opportunity is rare, and it is really happy that Head Xia can take us for a walk." ”

Oliver said: "The most glorious moment of Florence was the Renaissance, and everyone was so interested in the Renaissance, let's start with the Renaissance. ”

Dante's immortal masterpiece "The Divine Comedy" touched people's hearts with its magnificent chapters and amazing writing, but the new ideas of the Renaissance were its essence and mainstream, singing the praises of heroes with great ambition and perseverance, thus showing the dawn of new humanist thought. ”

Giotto's works are not only innovative in content, but also great in technique, and the figures he paints have a strong sense of three-dimensionality, presenting a real spatial effect, setting a model for Renaissance realist art, so he is revered by later generations as the first genius to establish the modern painting tradition. ”

"The 16th century was a particularly prosperous period for the Italian Renaissance, producing three great artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael. ”

Da Vinci, an all-rounder, a genius, is both an artist and a scientist, and the portrait "Mona Lisa" is known as the world's top art masterpiece, showing the artist's appreciation for the beauty of women and the rich spiritual life of people. ”

The mural "The Last Supper" reflects the artist's ability to create typical characters and dramatic scenes, profoundly depicting the characters' personalities, and the layout is rigorous and full of variety, which is a model for future generations to learn from. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper are two works that are familiar to Chinese audiences and are famous all over the world. ”

Oliver said: "Michelangelo was a master of great artistic attainment, and he left many immortal masterpieces in architecture, sculpture, painting, poetry, etc. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "Our Chinese audience is more familiar with Michelangelo's David, which is a very famous sculpture. ”

Oliver nodded, "The Renaissance really established the meaning of the term architect, adding this new profession to the economy of the whole society, in the past, there was no such job as an architect, there were only engineers, carpenters or stonemasons, but with the prosperity of architecture, there was also this professional profession." ”

"Painting Saint Raphael is an excellent painter, revered as a painting saint by later generations, when we visit in the future, we come across his works, and we will focus on it, his frescoes are really very good. ”

"I won't give you all the examples, there are so many famous people, they have their own characteristics, each has their own specialty, and there were many famous people who gathered in Florence at that time, Leonardo da Vinci, Dante, Galileo, Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Giotto, Modigliani, Titian, Boccaccio, Petrac, Vasari, Machiavelli. ”

"Pull out a master who is well-known at home and abroad, these masters have made outstanding contributions in their respective fields, have their outstanding works, have been recognized by the world, this period is the most glorious period in the history of Italy, it is difficult to surpass later, many works have become classics, have been praised by posterity, Florence has left countless historical memories for modern people. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "It is precisely because many outstanding artists have created a large number of buildings, sculptures and paintings that shine with the light of the Renaissance era, that Florence has become the top priority of the Renaissance and the center of European artistic culture and thought. ”
