Chapter Eighty-Five: Travel

(As an apology, there is still a change at 1:10!)

Entering the cathedral, you first pass through a corridor, the white marble pillars with light patterns are carved with delicate patterns, and the vaults of the long corridor from left to right are full of statues, and the entire yellow-brown top is covered with three-dimensional patterns and patterns. Then through a door, you enter the main hall of the church, which amazes all visitors with its magnificence, which is 186 meters long, has a total area of 15,000 square meters, and can accommodate 60,000 people.

Tall stone pillars and walls, vaulted roofs, colorful patterns, lifelike statues, intricate reliefs, and colorful marble floors are illuminated.

St. Peter's Basilica is a rectangular church with a cross structure in the shape of a very traditional and sacred shape, and it is also the largest church in the world.

Originally built in 324 AD, the original idea was a small synagogue on the top of St. Peter's Tomb, and was rebuilt in the 15th century with the participation of many leading architects and artists, and finally completed in 1626.

St. Peter's Basilica is not only a magnificent architectural temple worth visiting, it is also home to hundreds of artistic treasures and is considered a priceless asset. There are a few important features of this church that you must grasp when you visit it, as it covers a vast area and you won't know where to start when you enter.

The interior of the church is lavishly decorated, so ornate that it is unsettling and breathtaking. The famous large vaulted roof in the center of the church that the members of the flower youth saw was Michelangelo's masterpiece, with a double structure, dark on the outside and bright on the inside.

The dome was designed by Bramante in 1506 and succeeded by Raphael after his death in 1514. Six years later, Raphael also died, and the dome was canceled for the sake of the contrast of light at the entrance of the church, drawing on the Gothic design of the church's roof, emphasizing the contrast between dark and light, and using rose windows.

Michelangelo later took over the work at the age of 71 and restored the dome in the name of "love for God, for the Virgin, for St. Peter". There are eleven statues on the eaves of the dome, with a statue of Jesus Christ in the middle, a bell on each side of the eaves, Greenwich Mean Time on the right and Roman time on the left.

The interior of the whole nave is in the shape of a cross, at the intersection of the cross is the center of the church, the underground of the center point is the mausoleum of St. Peter, on the ground is the altar of the pope, above the altar is a splendid canopy, above the canopy is the dome of the top of the church, its diameter is 42 meters, 120 meters above the ground, the perimeter of the dome and the top of the whole temple are covered with beautiful patterns and reliefs. A ray of sunlight shines into the temple from the dome, adding a mystical touch to the solemn, gloomy church, which is like a gateway to heaven.

The main hall is flanked by large statues and reliefs, and on the left and right sides of the main hall are small naves one after the other, each decorated with frescoes, reliefs and statues, the most famous being Michelangelo's statue of the Virgin of Sorrow and a bronze statue of St. Peter. My favorite is the sculpture of two cherubs holding holy water tanks just after walking through the gate, the image of the cherubs is only one year old, but the actual height of the statue is 2.5 meters. After the statues of many rulers, warriors, and martyrs have left people with too many majestic, cold and painful memories, when they see this innocent and lovely little angel, a comfort and a beautiful feeling arise spontaneously. The artist put cherubs and holy water together because people at that time regarded water as a holy thing given by God and water as the source of life.

"Wow... It's really beautiful here, man... Isn't that right?"

Zhang Siyi was already completely immersed in the amazement of the interior of the church, and the other members of Hua Shao were basically stunned in the church, and they liked this St. Peter's Basilica very much.

However, just when everyone was intoxicated in the church, suddenly, Zheng Peipei's voice sounded: "Huahua... Flower.... When she didn't hear Huahua's response, Zheng Peipei would immediately say to Zhang Han: "Young master... Your brother is gone. ”

Speechless, Zhang Han also began to find Huahua, and then said speechlessly: "This is the first time Huahua has disappeared, I really want to take a rope to tie this kid." ”

"Hehe...!" Zhang Kaili laughed, and then looked at Zhang Siyi, who had been following Zhang Churan and taking the initiative to pull Zhang Churan's backpack with his hand, and said: "It's better to be a girl, I've been following my brother, and my brother doesn't need to worry at all." ”

"Fei'er, you call Flowey. Liu Tao came up with an idea.

Sure enough, I got in touch with Huahua, this guy has unconsciously run to the front of everyone, and after getting the news of Huahua, everyone is relieved, and then continue to visit the cathedral, and when they come out of the cathedral, it is already more than 16 o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time to go back to the hotel, take the bus back, on the bus, the young people are all very happy, although today's day trip is very tired, but, but there is still a feeling of happiness,

The run-in on the first day also made everyone more familiar with each other, although Zhang Han is self but has a heart to take care of everyone, Xu Qi is free but can also take care of the overall situation, in addition to the hard-working Liu Tao, obedient Li Fei, laughing Kai Li, kind eldest sister, no matter what, everyone actually has a kind heart.

This makes this trip, although there may be small frictions, but Zhang Churan believes that the ending must be beautiful.

After returning to the hotel, Zhang Churan began to cook dinner for Zhang Siyi, two very simple dishes, green pepper shredded pork, and minced meat eggplant plus a tomato egg soup.

The others wanted to go out to eat, and they were also influenced by Zhang Churan, so in the later trip, the sisters also showed their skills.

Because Zhang Churan cooked a lot of dishes, he didn't finish eating, and when Huahua came back from outside, because he wasn't full, he secretly ran to Zhang Churan's side to eat.

In line with the shame of waste, Zhang Churan gave the rest of the dishes to Huahua to eat, which is called a fragrant food, and said again and again that Zhang Churan's craftsmanship is very good, and it is definitely the level of a chef, and he ate three bowls in a row, which frightened Zhang Churan, because the other party had eaten.

In fact, the so-called half-grown kid eats the poor Lao Tzu, Zhang Churan's worry is superfluous, because the flowers at this time are the most edible, so participating in this show is also suffering for this kid, what's the matter if he can't eat enough!

At first, Zhang Churan didn't know what was wrong, but later I learned that because Huahua was too full, she lay on the bed when she came back, and the sisters all said that Zhang Churan's food was so delicious that she supported the accounting of herself and others.

Without accounting, tomorrow's sisters' journey will be difficult to move an inch, so tomorrow Zhang Churan will replace Huahua and travel with himself and others, and prepare more food and drink, just like today!

Hehe... Zhang Churan laughed, the sisters are so cute, they want to make food for themselves, and they use the fake accounting of Huahua as an excuse, who doesn't know that Huahua was relieved of her position by Liu Tao on the second day she came to Italy, and the money is now with Liu Tao.

Of course, Huahua is also happy, he actually just wants to see and play more, because this is his first trip abroad, and it is also his first trip!

After the blackmail of Zhang Chu is over, everyone begins to make a travel plan for tomorrow, tomorrow's plan is actually very simple, the theme is Roman holiday, a work that saved Hollywood, the plot is a princess and a dick, 24 hours in Rome to play and then fall in love with each other.

Because the cost of the film was controlled below $1 million, which meant that the heroine could only use a low-paid newcomer, Hepburn, who was fledgling at the time, received an audition call and came with a perfunctory mood at first, but he didn't expect this unintentional insertion to achieve the most legendary audition in film history.

After hearing that it was the theme of a Roman holiday, Zhang Siyi was the first to shout excitedly: "Then you must go to the wishing pool to make a wish!?"

Looking at the excited Zhang Siyi, everyone smiled!
