readx;?, however, is not connected (or closed to tourists), so you can only bypass it from outside the city, and there is still some distance. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info ◎, along the city wall around and around, and finally saw a long dragon again, and the length of this long dragon greatly exceeded the expectations of Yunluo and An Chuyu, comparable to the Saudi Arabia Pavilion of the Sihai City World Expo, Yunluo and An Chuyu almost walked along this team for ten minutes before walking to the main entrance of the museum.

There are also quite a few scalpers in the middle who are selling reservation tickets for early admission. When he arrived at the door, it was already half past nine, and Yunluo was afraid that it would be too late and would not let him in, but the doorman shook the list when he saw Yunluo and An Chuyu, so he directly let Yunluo and An Chuyu go in, and there was no danger. Looking at the endless crowd behind me, I breathed a sigh of relief.

This Easter holiday for Westerners is really a cheat! The entrance of the museum needs to be checked by security, and then there is the ticket office and the interpreter rental office, and I successfully received the ticket and guide with the reservation form, and told the staff to adjust it to the Chinese version (the Italian guide is not equipped with headphones, remember to bring your own), took the map and began to study where to start visiting this world-wide museum.

Later, I saw other people's travelogues on the Internet, there are very detailed Chinese maps, markers, at a glance, I am ashamed to be a mess, the next trip, for such a large attraction, we must be fully prepared in advance, otherwise the scene wastes time not to say, the key is that it is easy to miss the wonderful part, blindly dazzled. while

However, some people are not willing to do a lot of strategies in advance, thinking that this will lose the surprise of travel and the fun of exploration. All in all, the museum is a promenade with the famous Sistine Chapel at the end. At first, Yunluo didn't understand what the concept of a chapel was, but later he roughly understood it.

The so-called chapel is actually a kind of chapel, and later Yunluo and An Chuyu took several chapels (called chapel in English), most of which were connected to a basilica-level cathedral as an attached room. According to Yunluo's personal understanding. It is that the ceremonies and activities held in the main hall of the cathedral are usually more formal or relatively high-level.

And ordinary or small-scale activities take place in the chapel, haha, I don't know if this is accurate. In short, the Sistine Chapel is a chapel in St. Peter's Basilica, which is used by the Pope himself for prayer. And it is here that every pope is now chosen.

It's a pity that you can't enter the cathedral from the museum, and I'll talk about Yunluo and Ann's first encounter with St. Peter's Basilica and crying. Follow the map, listen to the guide, and start the treasure tour! The first thing that catches your eye is the dense crowd. But speaking of such a famous museum, it is impossible for you to expect to open a special exhibition for you, so follow along!

The first is the Egyptian Pavilion. The relationship between Rome and Egypt is inextricably linked, if nothing else, Caesar and Cleopatra. I guess there aren't a few people who don't know. Hee-hee. In fact, Yunluo likes this museum very much, because the cultural relics on display are authentic antiques, goods dating back thousands of years BC, and he has a special preference for this ancient thing.

Especially the inscription seal carving, in the Shaanxi History Museum, staring at the inscription on the bronze tripod thousands of years ago, as if the craftsman is in front of him, there is a feeling of passing through history in an instant. The charm of Egypt lies in the fact that its civilization is the oldest recorded history of mankind. Artifacts on display here. Some were snatched and dug up. Gifted.

It's all genuine. There is a red number icon next to the more important exhibits, and you can listen to the explanation by entering the number on the guide, which is very detailed, and it is generally replaced by one if you can't finish listening. At the back is the Caesar's Pavilion, a sculpture gallery that is spectacular. Inside, all the finest sculptures are preserved.

Outside is the famous Pinecone Square, famous for a huge bronze pinecone sculpture and a fountain in front of it. The Pinecone Fountain was originally located in the Pantheon, but was moved to its current location in 1608. The bronze peacocks flanking the fountain are replicas of the decorations for Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum (now Castel Sant'Angelo) (the original is also stored in the museum).

There is also a giant head sculpture of Augustus (Octavian, the founding emperor of the Roman Empire) in the courtyard. Follow the crowd into the promenade, and the most exciting part kicks off. The drive is slow due to the large number of tourists visiting. The dilemma is basically to be squeezed in the middle all the way. Because the temptation and expectation of the Sistine Chapel at the end were too strong.

Although the front exhibition hall can not be amazing, but almost all of them have become "appetizers", people are in a hurry to swallow, too late to chew, including the map hall, tapestry hall and so on, the most amazing is the gorgeous mural on the ceiling, almost all the way to the neck up, it is a good way to treat cervical spondylosis.

The photos taken indoors are not outstanding, especially the SLR that Ann first encountered, when the lights were dim, they were all virtual. Speechless, I was scolded by Yunluo when I came back, but no matter how beautiful the photos are, it is impossible to replicate the shock of being on the spot, of course, there are too many people who do have a lot of scenery, if you taste it quietly, what kind of paradise it should be!

Before entering the last Sistine Chapel, there is an outdoor passage, the view is good, An Chuyu said that the square below is the filming location of "Angels and Demons" and other movies, Yunluo seems to have no impression. In front of the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's room passed, and Yunluo at first thought that Raphael had stayed.

It was later learned that it was impossible for him to enjoy this privilege. The so-called Raphael Room is a few rooms commissioned by Raphael to decorate by the Pope, most of which are his works, and some of them are his students.

Because Yunluo and An Churen's thoughts were all based on Sistine, they didn't pay attention to the famous "School of Athens" here! I only remembered it in hindsight. However, Raphael's style is relatively simple, and I personally think that these works are actually very similar, and the so-called masterpieces are just the titles of later generations, and they can be compared to geniuses like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

The all-rounder, even Yunluo thought that he was a psychomanic person and called the Three Masters of the Renaissance, Raphael didn't know if he would be ashamed of it. You must know that the titles of the other two include sculptor, architect, and even poet and inventor, and of course Raphael's beautiful appearance should add a lot of points to him.

Yunluo feels that Raphael's painting style can basically be summarized as clean, beautiful, and numerous, and from the perspective of painting, it should be impeccable. Finally, I saw a Van Gogh work in a very inconspicuous aisle. In the surging crowd, it was reduced to a position where no one cared. finally, Sistine Chapel.

When you enter the door, you can see that the black crowd is dense throughout the chapel, and there is a row of seats on the side of the wall for visitors to stop and watch, and the edge of the chapel barely retains a pedestrian passage under the maintenance of security to meet the mobility of tourists. However, few tourists go straight to the exit, and most of them are reluctant to leave.

Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the edge of the corner, craned their necks while listening to the explanation, and later found a seat, freeing the soles of their feet that were already sore. How would you describe this room? In addition to the greatness and incredibleness at the technical level, in fact, Yunluo wants to say that it is a kind of moving.

Before leaving, Yunluo read the Bible story and got a general understanding of the contents of Miye's dome work "Genesis" and the mural "The Last Judgment", both of which took 4-5 years to complete. Michelangelo wrote in his diary. He painted day and night on a tripod, not allowing anyone to visit him except the Pope himself, and paint dripping down his face.

The neck and spine have changed shape, and the creation is to use the extremely difficult form of "fresco", that is, to depict the mud with color when the mud is wet, and the mural will not be damaged after the mud is dry, and the requirements for the painter are extremely high. Michelangelo himself once called himself a "sculptor" and tried to turn down the commission under the pretext of his lack of experience in painting, especially frescoes.

And in the beginning, the theme that the pope wanted was the twelve apostles of Jesus. Michelangelo later used his genius imagination with his thorough understanding of the Bible. It outlines a much grander view. Yunluo feels that most of the successful artists, and even successful people in various fields, have paranoid tendencies, and they don't do it.

If you do it, you need to do it to the extreme, which is not only an explanation to others, but also a defense of personal honor. Yunluo was deeply moved by this spirit, and such a treasure will be left for future generations to admire, and they must also look down on their works with pleasure in heaven. Photography is strictly forbidden in the Sistine Chapel, so take a screenshot on the Internet to show it.

(The first is a picture seen looking up at the dome, and the nine rectangular drawings in the center are called the Book of Genesis.) The second is the fresco "The Last Judgment", which was commissioned 24 years after the completion of the zenith fresco, with a size of 1370cmx1200cm, which roughly means to promote the ascension of good deeds after death.

Karma for doing evil into the ground. All the figures were bosoms, and later, the Pope, believing that it was a blasphemy, ordered a painter to put a fig strip on all the figures. Yunluo thought, being able to ink on Mi Ye's masterpiece, this person is also a blessing ^_^ from the previous life). All in all, this place lives up to its name.

Out of the Sistine Chapel, the mood could not be calmed down for a long time, and there were some scattered works of art behind it, and a particularly favorite stained glass was placed. Many of the cathedrals behind it have this kind of painted glass, which is suffocating. The spiral staircase at the exit is also famous, especially the relief at the edge, which is very beautiful.

After a quick bite to eat in the canteen of the Vatican Museums, I set off for St. Peter's Square, where I had been the first stop in the morning. Once again, I sighed how well the 4 euro reservation fee was worth! However, the bad news came quickly. That is St. Peter's Basilica closed in the afternoon for Mass!

It was really a bolt from the blue, and Yunluo and An Chuyu persevered to the fence to ask, but the cold answer they got - it was not open until the afternoon. It is indeed a pity not to have the opportunity to see the style of the world's most cathedral, especially the star-chasers such as Yunluo who are looking forward to seeing, Michelangelo's masterpiece - sculpture "Pietà".

I fell in love with it at the first sight of it on the Internet, and of course the entire baroque hall is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the world, unique. But this trip coincided with Easter, which is God's will, and it is also a reason for Yunluo to come back next time. Yunluo and Ann met for the first time, so they began to stroll in St. Peter's Square, which is also a masterpiece.

With a capacity of 500,000 people, St. Peter's Square is the place where the Holy See holds large religious events, where the Pope gives weekly speeches. The construction of the square took 11 years (1656~1667), and the construction of the project was personally supervised by the world-famous architect Bernini. The square is surrounded by 4 columns with a total of 284 columns, on which are 140 statues of saints.

In the center is a huge cylinder (25.5 meters high and weighing 320 tons) that was transported from Egypt in 40 AD. This afternoon, I saw that the center of the square had already begun to be arranged. And there are a lot of chairs, which should be prepared for tomorrow's Easter event. By the way, the dome was designed by the architect Michelangelo when he was in his 80s.

Hey, I've also served this old man. The balcony with the red curtains was where the Pope appeared, and later I found out that the Pope was here to deliver his speech on Easter on April 5. Pray for the blessings of the world. I couldn't visit St. Peter's Basilica, so I walked along the Vatican walls all the way to Castel Sant'Angelo, a short walk.

Castel Sant'Angelo looks very old, having been built in 139 AD by the Roman Emperor Hadrian for himself and his descendants. In the 6th century, Pope Gregory I erected a statue of an archangel with a sword on the top of the fort to fight against the Black Death, which was prevalent at the time, hence the name of Castel Sant'Angelo. The interior mainly houses military items such as weapons from the Roman period.

Not too interested, didn't go in to see. The ramapass could have been used once here. The Ponte Sant'Angelo was designed by the master Bernini and has twelve statues of angels on it, which is very beautiful. Walk across the bridge of Sant'Angelo to the city of Rome, and the next Piazza Navona, the Pantheon and other attractions are almost in a line, all of which can be reached on foot.

It's good if the city is small! Piazza Navona was an amphitheater in ancient Roman times, built by Emperor Domitian in 86 AD. During the Renaissance it was transformed into a beautiful Baroque square, most famous for the two striking fountains designed by Bernini: the Fountain of Morro at the southern end of the square and the Fountain of the Four Rivers in the center.

The sculptures in the Fountain of the Four Rivers symbolize the four heavenly rivers (Danube, Nile, Pratt and Ganges) and the four corners of the known world (Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas). In the center is an Egyptian obelisk. The obelisk is a monument to the worship of the sun in ancient Egypt, and there are 29 obelisks originating from ancient Egypt in the world.

Among them, there are 9 obelisks preserved in Egypt itself. Italy, on the other hand, has 11 Egyptian obelisks. It is the largest number in the world, and most of them were transported from Egypt to the Roman Empire during the ancient Roman period. It is currently stored in St. Peter's Square, in front of the Pantheon, in Piazza Navona, in Piazza di España, in Florence's ** Garden, etc.

This is Baidu Encyclopedia, in the past, I only heard that there is an obelisk square in the Place de la Concorde in France, which was given by the Egyptian people in order to express friendship, and it feels very lofty. This time it turned out that the Roman people did not care much at all. So much so that the brilliance of several popular attractions completely covered the obelisk, almost making people forget about this great Egyptian artifact.

Personally, I actually think this square is average, but the church opposite is very amazing. Just ate a closed door soup at St. Peter's Church. I was in a bad mood, and when I saw that there was nothing outstanding about the appearance of this church, I wanted to go in casually and have a look, but as soon as I entered the door, I was blind. Maybe it's because Yunluo and Ann didn't go to sanctify Peter when they first met.

Maybe it's because this is the first church that Yunluo and An first entered on this trip, in short, the sparkle and magnificence of the baroque style is like this. In a moment, you can be truly amazed. The church is called Santagneseinagone, and the façade was designed by the famous Baroque architect Borromini, Benigni's rival.

It is built on the tomb of a saint who was martyred at the age of 13 for not wanting to marry a pagan. Continuing to walk forward, soon came to the Pantheon, solemn and solemn. The Pantheon is the only Roman Empire-era structure that has been preserved intact to date, having been built in 27-25 BC.

Built by Agrippa, the son-in-law of Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, to worship the gods on Mount Olympia, it is a classic building of the Augustan period. The fire of 80 AD destroyed most of the Pantheon, leaving only a rectangular colonnade with 16 granite columns 12.5 meters high, which was later used as the portico of the later rebuilt Pantheon.

The top of the portico is engraved with monumental inscriptions from the period of its first construction, and the original scale of the Pantheon can still be seen from the eight large columns on the front of the portico. Until the completion of the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, the dome of the Pantheon was the largest unsupported dome in the world, and it was here that the designers of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore learned from the ancients.

Accomplished one of the great feats of the Renaissance. In front of the Pantheon, a singer sings an Italian opera, attracting crowds. Along the way, I met many street performers, who played, painted, and sang, and Italy truly deserved to be the hometown of literature and art. Sitting in the Pantheon and looking up at the dome, I can't help but feel the wisdom and strong faith of the ancients.

Leaving the Pantheon, the planned itinerary for the day is basically over, because it is not seen as St. Peter's Church, so it saves a lot of time. There was no subway station near the Pantheon, so Yunluo and An Chuyu made full use of Ovi Navigation and RomaPass to find a nearby bus stop and prepare to take the bus back to the hotel.

I took the bus and punched in by myself, and no one cared about it at all. Yunluo and An didn't know how to use it at first when they first met, but later found out that there was actually a touch chip in the original paper-like romapass, which was high-end. Get off at Republic Square. Piazza della Repubblica is part of the ruins of the Baths of Diocletian, close to the central railway station, the transport hub of the city of Rome. (To be continued.) )
