Section 1339 Rare
readx;?readx; To the hotel on tripadvisor found a restaurant next to the hotel, it seems to be a chicken-themed restaurant, that is, the pizza inside and other chicken-related characteristics, the environment is good, that is, the service fee is charged 20%, a bit of a cheat, the general restaurant is 10%-15%. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info to see the latest chapter of Perfect World, go to the leverage. I feel that Italy's consumption is still much higher than that of the United States.
Accommodation, dining, and supermarket shopping are all expensive, and the United States is simply paradise! The average consumption of Yunluo and An Chuyu here is about 50 euros per meal, and it costs money to drink mineral water. Ann usually orders a glass of wine when she first meets her. But in all fairness, Italian cuisine lives up to its name, pizza and pasta.
What Yunluo and An Chuyu ate in China is still a lot more delicious, and it is worth tasting~ After eating, I went back to the room to pack my luggage and prepare for the splendid Renaissance culture! Although this trip to Rome left a lot of regrets, it was also a complete success, and the impression of Rome was that it did not feel like a modern metropolis at all, and the ground was paved with stones.
The winding sheep intestine lanes, as well as the strange and non-repeating buildings on the streets, are highlighting the history and literary heritage of this small city. What kind of surprises will the next destination bring to Yunluo and An's first encounter?
Xu Zhimo's Fei Lengcui, the poet's mood is not very cold, but Florence, as the origin of the Renaissance, is the most anticipated city on this trip. It is highly recommended to watch the BBC documentary "The Godfathers of the Renaissance - The Medici Family" before leaving, because not knowing the Medici is equivalent to not knowing Florence and not understanding the Renaissance.
This is a magical family, a myth that has never been seen before or since. The train ticket is almost 9 o'clock, as mentioned before, I forgot to see the station when I bought the ticket, and I bought it from Tiburtina, instead of the Termini station next to Yunluo and An Chuyu's residence, but fortunately Tiburtina is also very convenient to reach.
It is only a few stops away by subway, and it is fortunate that the hotel was selected in line with the principle of convenient transportation. As a result, when I arrived at the station, I found that it was still early, and the platform on the first floor was cold. Yunluo and An Chuyu casually walked upstairs and entered a convenience store called farmacrimi, and put two pacifiers.
A bottle of Nuxe fresh cream (31 euros). There are two main operators of Italian Railways, one is called Italian Railways (similar to the Ministry of Railways in Yunluo Country). The other is a relatively new private company called italo. At that time, I didn't look carefully when booking tickets on Ctrip, and I only looked at the time and fare.
Later, it was found that the first two trips of Yunluo and An Chuyu were both from italo companies, and the prices were greatly discounted. The last ride is from the Italian Railways, full price. As far as trains are concerned. Italo's train really didn't dare to compliment, Yunluo told An Chuyu that the speed was not fast, how could he feel that the body was shaking badly, and his head was dizzy.
An Chuyu said that it is estimated that the sealing is not very good and other problems, Yunluo and An Chuyu's domestic trains are actually very advanced in the world, with developed technology and comfortable to sit. Later, the Italian train from Venice to Milan felt much more luxurious, spacious and comfortable. The full price is also worth it. The scenery along the road is beautiful.
If you go abroad a few times, you will find that Yunluo and An Chuyu are used to seeing the gray weather, in fact, the blue sky and white clouds are the natural norm, and the domestic pollution has completely isolated Yunluo and An Chuyu from the atmosphere, which is really outrageous. On the way, I also saw an RV camp, and the life of crooked nuts is too nourishing.
This is Yunluobi's lifelong dream wow~ Soon arrived at the Florence Santa Maria Novella train station (abbreviation), named because of the church of Santa Maria Novella opposite. You can see it when you go out, it's very beautiful~ Buy two florencepassports online before the clouds fall.
It was said that it could be avoided from the queue at the Accademia Gallery and the Uffizi Gallery, but at that time, I thought it was not expensive, so I placed an order. The official website found that it was exchanged at a newsstand in the square of the Church of Santa Maria Novella, so Yunluo and An Chuyu said that they would go directly to get the card first, and then apply for accommodation. As a result, I dragged the box and searched for a long time, and finally saw the newsstand.
I showed them the printed order. The answer was that they no longer did business with this one. Sweat! I took a closer look at the order page, and it was redeemed at a window at the train station, and I turned back to exchange the ticket and found that there was no one, so I went to the hotel to check in first. The location of the hotel is very good, but it is really the most difficult place for Yunluo and An to meet this accommodation for the first time.
The façade resembles a small convenience store. Push the door into a narrow hallway, next to a small room is the front desk, go through the formalities into the room, God. This is comparable to the last time in Singapore, it's too small, but after the cloud came back to recall, this accommodation cloud settled too late, and then there was a special room left.
It's true that it seems to be written that it's a mini type.,I just didn't expect it to be so mini... The bathrooms are also extremely cramped. The three-star in the downtown area is estimated to be the same. If you want to stay cheaper, then I'm afraid you need a remote location, and the time when Yunluo and An first met is absolutely not allowed, so you have to sacrifice your quality.
Settle down a little, the rough door ~ Florence is really too small, you can completely rely on walking, of course, because you have to walk non-stop to too many attractions, so foot cripples are absolutely inevitable. Passed by the Church of Santa Maria Novella, didn't go inside to visit, just took pictures outside. Street performers can be found everywhere.
All the way to the banks of the Arno River. The Arno River is the mother river of Florence and one of the most important rivers in central Italy. Over the past thousands of years, there may have been a lot of changes in the architecture and humanity on the roadside, but this quiet river can certainly be the same as what you saw in the Renaissance.
For this reason, walking along the riverside is like stepping back in time, and you feel so close to that era. The Florentine neighborhood is slightly similar in style to Rome, with winding alleys and stylish houses lining the streets. Yunluo and Ann first met and walked a few streets to Florence's Municipal Square.
The Piazza della Signoria, also known as the "Piazza della Signoria", was the seat of the city hall of Florence, and there are many sculptures in the square, the most famous of which is Michelangelo's David, but here David is a replica, and the original is now in the Accademia Gallery. After watching the BBC documentary, I was very impressed by this place.
When the Medici lost power and were expelled from Florence, Michelangelo turned his back on his benefactor and created this monumental sculpture for the city hall. It symbolizes strength, symbolizes rebirth. When the Medici returned to Florence, they reused Michelangelo.
Maybe. This is the so-called aristocratic mind! In the middle of the town square is the Palazzo Vecchio of Florence, also known as Palazzo Vecchio, which is the town hall of Florence and is still in use today. The palace has a very tall bell tower, which symbolizes the center of power. There's a museum and a 500-seat conference hall.
When Yunluo and An Chu met and went in, they thought they didn't want tickets, so they ran upstairs directly, and when they pushed the door and saw the shocking mural, they were blasted out and asked to buy tickets. Later, I thought that there was not enough time, so I didn't visit. But after coming back, Yunluo watched Dan Brown's "Hell" and regretted it very much.
In the story, the enigmatic text Cercatrova on the frescoes of the Hall of the Five Hundred (it is said that the frescoes are covered with a masterpiece commissioned by Leonardo da Vinci), Dante's death mask is also housed in the museum, and there is a secret passage across the Arno River to Palazzo Pitti. It was built to facilitate the work of the Grand Duke of Medici.
So this attraction has once again become a big regret for summoning Yunluo and An's first encounter ~ A 500-person meeting hall searched on the Internet. The next attraction, the Bargello Gallery, was not in Yunluo's plans, but since watching the BBC documentary, I have been obsessed with one of the sculptures in it, Donatello's David.
Although this sculpture is far less famous than Mi Ye's work of the same name, its delicate face, graceful posture, and bold shape bring people an extremely shocking visual impact and touch. At the same time, it is also the first sculpture of the Renaissance, full of ** allusions, but the Medici family embraced this grumpy but talented artist.
This treasure has been left behind for the world. For this reason, Yunluo deliberately added this art museum, in fact, just to see the beauty. The Bargello Museum is relatively hidden and easy to miss. Yunluo and An first met and found this place by navigation. It was originally a prison, with various torture chambers on the first floor, and prisoners on the second floor would be hanged and hung out of the window.
The tone of the whole building is indeed rather eerie. The collection on display here is mainly sculpture, while the Uffizi is mainly painting. In fact, the sculpture Yunluo really doesn't understand it. But to the sculptor is the absolute cult. It's hard to imagine how a hard boulder can be hewn into an intricately intertwined and lifelike shape, and what if it is chiseled with a shake of the hand?
It's a high-class job. Yunluo couldn't wait to walk to the second floor, looking for the shadow that haunted Yunluo's soul. It was really there quietly, beautiful, but Yunluo thought it was about the same size as a human, and the actual size was much smaller than Yunluo imagined. Especially after seeing too many giant sculptures, he felt that they were so slender and weak.
People can't help but feel pity~ There are many famous sculptures on the first floor, such as Michelangelo's Bacchus. When you arrive at the museum, you feel like you're chasing stars, everyone's eyes are completely following those shining names, and the connotation of the work is no longer the most important basis. Step out of the Bargello Gallery and aim for the landmark of Florosa, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore!
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is the symbol of Florence, the tallest building in Florence and the fourth largest Catholic church in the world. The first acquaintance with the church actually came from a BBC documentary, and I remembered that the name of the church is as loud as that of Brunelleschi, the designer of the giant dome.
In the first episode of the documentary, this miracle in the history of architecture landed on the ground. After the completion of the main building of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, no one had the ability (or courage) to cover it, because the task was incredible. However, when the Medici came to power, they dared to entrust the unpromising geek architect Brunelleschi with this grand goal.
In the end, it took Brunelleschi 14 years to complete this miracle, using the method of architecture to build the dome without scaffolding, and the hollow structure to allow people to climb to the top. His feat also cemented the political position of the Medici family. The façade of the entire church is made of dark green, pink and white marble.
And there are a lot of exquisite reliefs, dazzling. This is a more peculiar shape of the church, on a three-dimensional view. The dome part is a symmetrical structure of one large and two small, and the rectangular corridor extends out. The church can accommodate up to 15,000 people at the same time, and the annexes of the church include the Baptistery and Giotto's bell tower.
There is an RPG game called "Assassin's Creed", Ann Chuyu originally strongly recommended playing it before the trip, because the story takes place in Florence, almost all the scenery has appeared in the game, if you are obsessed with the protagonist's perspective, then the moment to realize your dream has arrived! In a word. Yunluo's great love for Giotto's bell tower is completely the building of Yunluo's dreams!
Unfortunately, there are too many tourists, and compared to the splendid baroque decoration of Rome, the interior of the Church of Santa Maria del Fiore is a bit unremarkable, but it is not an exaggeration to describe it as low-key luxury. The gorgeous stained glass, as well as the marble floor with a thick atmosphere and simple patterns, all make people feel deeply underground.
Yunluo and An Chuyu also rented a docent at the entrance, but the Chinese commentary was extremely bad, and it felt like a mechanical retelling with translation software. There was no color, so I just listened to it casually. Directly opposite the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is its annex, the Baptistery of San Giovanni, an octagonal building most famous for its Golden Port.
Although it is a golden gate, it is actually made of brass, and it is still lifelike after more than 600 years, and Michelangelo praised it as "the gate of heaven". There are 10 reliefs on the Golden Gate, all of which are based on Bible stories. In order to protect the artifacts, the administration hid the original in the cathedral, and now the one you see in the Baptistery is a 1:1 replica.
In the book "Inferno", the Baptistery of San Giovanni is also an important location, but Yunluo and Ann first met. The Baptistery is being renovated, and the entire building is fenced off, revealing only a replica of the Gates of Heaven for visitors to admire. The Gate of Heaven was seen on the Bible Stories I bought before I left, and I was fascinated by this place at that time.
How patient and persistent it is for an artist to spend 20 years creating a work of art that satisfies him. Yunluo expressed deep admiration for him~ The next point, the Medici Palace, that is, the residence of the Medici family. Brunelleschi, the original designer of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, was commissioned by the Medici family.
Brunelles did everything he could to devote his talents to this great work of art, but once the design took shape, Cosimo Brown. The Medici actually justified it as being too high-profile and extravagant. This option was abandoned. It is said that Brunelles thought this was a stain on his artistic talent, and he became angry and frantically tore up the entire construction plan.
also made Yunluo and An meet for the first time regrettably missed the opportunity to see the masterpiece of artistic genius. Although Cosimo. The Medici eventually expressed regret, but politically. This is the testament passed down by my father, and it is also the helpless move of the family to protect himself.
Now the Medici Palace that Yunluo and An first met and saw, both in appearance and inside, are simple and low-key. There is no feeling of the number one local giant. Everywhere you can see the logo of several balls (it is estimated that dense phobias will be uncomfortable), this is the family crest of the Medici family, and they have invented some stories about the family crest in order to put gold on themselves.
For example, the family ancestor is a Hercules hero or something. Later historians analyzed that their ancestors should have been pharmacists, and the round balls in the family coat of arms represented the meaning of pills. The interior is also relatively simple, with some murals on the walls, mainly for the family's merits. Visit the Perfect Dicki Palace, today's trip is basically over!
It is said that Florence's T-bone steak is super famous, but Yunluo didn't have time to study which one is good, so he found a random place to eat, thinking that it was everywhere, and when he saw a steak on the menu, he ordered it, and when he came up, he found that it was not. However, the physical exertion is too great, and I really don't have the strength to work eating.
I just wanted to fill my stomach and go back to my room to sleep. When I went back to the hotel and passed the train station, I went to the window to look at it, but there was no one. So I decided to pick up that Florentine card the next day. After returning to the room, An Chuyu asked Yunluo if he had arranged to watch the opera, and Yunluo said that the famous theater had not performed in the past few days when Yunluo and An Chuyu had not performed, and he was unwilling.
I found the opera in a huge chapel and said that since I came, I should experience other people's classics. So I made an expedited price and booked tomorrow's opera, which was on the other side of the Arno River. The repertoire is very famous "Madama Butterfly", so let him be it :).
The original plan was to host the museum, visit some churches along the way, and finally go to the Pitti Palace on the other side of the river, and watch the opera in the chapel there in the evening. As a result, I discussed with An Chuyu, yesterday I went to the Bargello Art Museum, which focuses on sculpture, and today I went to the Academy Art Museum purely to chase stars, just to see the honor of David's real works.
I didn't think it was very worth it, so I decided to give it up. In this case, the morning is reserved for the church, and in the afternoon the afternoon is ready to see the Uffizi earlier and the Pitti Palace later. Go to the train station window to pick up the card first! Someone finally arrived, handing over a firenzepassport booklet, and a beautiful Florence travel brochure.
It's a pity that it's in English. At this time, Yunluo didn't read the instructions on it carefully, thinking that he could buy tickets first by going directly to the art museum with the brochure and showing it. It's really toonaive, or the preliminary work is not in place! I'll talk about the tragedy later. The first stop was the Medici Chapel, which Yunluo had not originally planned. (To be continued.) )
