Chapter 453: Poor to Eat Grass

The most striking feature is the planting of 730 trees, 5,000 shrubs and 11,000 herbaceous plants along the exterior walls, which is equivalent to 11,000 hectares of green vegetation. The price of this subversive great building is very expensive, an 80-square-meter apartment is priced at about 6 million yuan, in fact, look back and think about the snow falling in the Great Heavenly Dynasty in an imperial capital school district room.

It may still be second-hand, and it can be killed in seconds. The traffic is good, but the parking is a different story. Xueluo and Dong Qingmei planned to go to Eataly for dinner, this restaurant is located a little outside the edge of the ZTL area, but they can't find a roadside parking space after three laps around, and at the same time, they are afraid that they will be fined for accidentally entering the ZTL area.

I feel like my heart is congested. Then I suddenly found an underground parking lot, and it was like finding a savior. The underground parking lot in Milan is completely self-service, and the machine interface is not in English. The rules are not complicated, roughly just go in to pick up the card by yourself, and come out to insert the card back.

The machine will then display the amount and finally insert the credit card charge. In terms of price, 1.y.y an hour?What kind of strange shop is this?As soon as you enter the door, you will feel like you have walked into an Italian-style food supermarket, full of ingredients and even cooking books. But continue to dig deeper.

You will find that there is a kitchen, a chef, a table and a waiter. In this way, Eataly is positioned as a supermarket restaurant, where you can either buy ingredients and cook them yourself, or you can directly make the restaurant here want to have a gluttonous meal. Milan is somewhat similar to IKEA in that this supermarket restaurant does away with the traditional way of running a supermarket or restaurant.

Combine the two to advocate a slow-living lifestyle. Wait a minute, this episode seems to have been watched somewhere, uh-huh PASTA episode 2, one episode is released every day, and the rhythm is updated every day. This pizza in Milan originally had an Italian name, but unfortunately Xueluo had forgotten it, so I had to call it Tomato Cheese Pizza first.

And the snow falls on the northwest pot helmet is simply a long-lost old watch, thin and crispy, don't eat it every day, it's really okay, but you have to know that in Italy, that is pizzateria from street to street, blockbuster and cheap, you must be full, whether you eat or eat or eat~ Milan to a tiramisu must be the safest.

Reinvigorate your taste buds. Milan Venice is the only place where you don't have a car, but what's the point of driving for the water city. Actually, going is quite difficult to make an itinerary, because it is located in the northeast of Italy, and the snow falls and winter weather travel plan is to play all the way from Milan to Rome.

So it's impossible to go anyway, so Xueluo and Dongqingmei didn't choose to live, but took the Italian train from Milan to make a round-trip trip. Traveling by train should be the most retro way of traveling in everyone's memory. Italian railways are still relatively comfortable, with wide seats, similar to the first-class seats of domestic bullet trains.

The scenery along the way is also European. The purchase of tickets for Italian Railways is self-service, and Xueluo and Dongqingmei are booked through the official website and directly print the tickets, and enter the platform with the order QR code. Although it is very convenient to enter the station, remember to bring the order with you, and the conductor will check the ticket every time. There are also dining cars on the Italian Railways, which offer simple meals and drinks.

The coffee on the dining car uses illy's capsule machine, and the level and freshness are basically guaranteed. Absolutely down-to-earth breakfast set, a cappuccino, a croissant, a bottle of juice for soft drinks. Passing through Verona along the way, it must be a familiar name for friends who like Serie A. Then to Vicenza.

I guess older fans will know. A couple on the platform is telling the story of never being separated. Shoulder-length hair, suit and tie casually, always a bit personable Italian man. There are two railway stations, inland and island, which are inland railway stations.

It is an inland transit railway station, and many trains stop at this station if they pass through, and local residents generally get off at this station, and the island is basically full of tourists. While it's easier to go directly to the main island, sometimes it's better to take Mestre and then transfer to Santa Lucia, as is the case with Snowfall and Sunny Winter.

Moreover, the direct train from the inland to the main island is half a few minutes away, and it is also very convenient to transfer. The graffiti-filled train is also a major feature, whether the relevant departments don't care, or can't manage it? There will be a sea between Mestre and Santa Lucia, and the train walking on the sea is very spectacular, but the continuous rainy weather slightly affects the mood of the tour.

"It is a world-famous water city, with rivers crisscrossing and boats becoming the main means of transportation, equal to cars on the street. —"The Dinghy". Well, the place that I could only imagine in textbooks in elementary school is finally presented in front of me, and this legendary city, which should be in the textbook, is already very attractive.

Don't think it's just a place for tourists to party, think that around the 14th ~ 16th century, it was also the busiest port city in Italy, and it was also a well-deserved Mediterranean trade center, becoming a powerful and wealthy maritime republic. Later, Columbus discovered the American continent, which gradually declined with the opening of new shipping routes.

It is said that God shed tears here, but it made it more crystal and tender. But lately there have been too many tears of God, and in addition to water on the ground, there is also a drizzle in the sky. In fact, its beauty can be found in every corner, although complaining about the rainy weather for almost the whole day, but this day is wet on the rainy ground, but it is also in line with the temperament of the water city.

Ancient buildings, hidden in alleys. For people living in inland areas, it is too normal to go out and take a car, but as the only city in the world without cars, the means of transportation here can only be boats ~ boats ~ boats ~ Of course, there is still a difference between boats and boats, cheap and large bus boats, and high-end rental speedboats.

Tsundere's private gondola. The Grand Canal is the core waterway of the entire process, dividing the main island into two parts in an S-shape. The classical buildings on both sides of the Grand Canal stand in the water, forming a unique and wonderful landscape. Looking at these ancient artistic wonders, I sighed, but there was some hidden worry, the rise in sea level brought about by the natural environment.

It poses a serious threat to the survival of this thousand-year-old city, and it is no longer news that the water is flooded, and the tall buildings have also tilted a little, and maybe one day they will really be submerged by the sea. The rain was getting heavier, so I just plunged into the coffee shop and hid. Find a window spot, a cup of coffee, a pancake.

Sipping coffee, casually watching the people coming and going outside the window, the air is filled with the smell of freedom. Seeing that the sky seems to be clearing, let's hurry out and continue to brush the streets. The prestigious mask. The mask culture is unique in European civilization, and before the 18th century, the lives of the inhabitants were completely inseparable from masks.

At that time, masks were part of daily life, and men, women, and children, all of them wore masks and cloaks. The masks conceal the true identity of the people, and the magnates wear them to revelry without scruples, and the poor look rich under the ornate masks. Go to the market and see the price of vegetables to get an idea.

5,4 euros a kilogram of beans, 2.8 euros a kilogram of eggplant. Surprised the old woman ~ brushed the street to brush out a cute story. A group of interesting guys took a group photo holding a roll of web that was simply prehistoric and oversized, so big that it was thicker than a thigh several times, and it is estimated that they had never seen such a large roll of paper. When they found out that Snow Fall and Dong Qingmei were looking at them with great interest.

A little brother took the initiative to tear two sections from the large roll of paper, and then forced it into Xueluo's hand and gave it to Xueluo, with a wicked smile on his face, and the group of people behind laughed even more...... So there is the photo below. It is small but has more than 100 small islands and more than 400 bridges, all of which make it the most unique water city in the world, except for the water city.

It's okay for you to say it's Bridge City. The most famous of the more than 400 bridges is the Rialto Bridge, built in 1180 and one of the two symbols of the same main island. It's a pity that the Rialto Bridge is being repaired, and the outside is disguised as it was with a large piece of sewn cloth. The gondola is the oldest small wooden boat and is said to be more than a thousand years old.

Handsome boatmen, all dressed in black and white striped sea soul shirts, stand on the bow of the pointed gondola. The gondola is primitive and simple, with a hull made of high-quality wood, painted seven times with black lacquer, all handmade, and costing up to 20,000 euros each. The gondola is 80 euros and a half an hour at the actual price, but of course it is a different story when business is bad.

In the morning when there was a light rain, a boatman came and said that he could take Xueluo and Dongqingmei for 60 euros, but at that time Xueluo and Dongqingmei were too expensive, but after the rain stopped later, no one wanted to go for 60 euros. So gondola, it's a pity~ There are a lot of small alleys, extending in all directions, and sometimes there is no direction when walking.

But even if you don't have a direction, just follow the signs and go in the right direction. When Napoleon occupied it in the 18th century, it was praised as the most beautiful parlor in all of Europe. The brick bell tower of San Marco in the square is a landmark, and there is also a predominantly Byzantine style that blends ancient Roman art.

Medieval Gothic art and other art styles. It is said that in pigeons has lived for more than a thousand years. Once the largest church in medieval Europe, it was built in the 9th century and completed in 1094 before it was fired.

It has evolved into what it is today. The church building follows the Byzantine style, in the shape of a Greek cross, covered with five hemispherical domes, and is a comprehensive art masterpiece integrating Byzantine, Gothic, Islamic and Renaissance genres. The mosaic façade wall paintings decorated with gold come to life.

Scenes depicting the death of St. Mark and how his remains were transported out. Two merchants stole St. Mark's body from Alexandria by mixing it in barrels of cured pork and other goods. It is said that the remains of St. Mark are still preserved under the altar. The interior is resplendent with beautiful murals.

There are countless art treasures of all kinds. The frescoes of the Great Dome depict many biblical stories, including the sermons of the Twelve Apostles, the Passion of Christ, Christ and the Prophets, and the portraits of saints, and the surface is covered with gold leaf, so that St. Mark's Basilica is also called the Golden Basilica.

To say it silently, in fact, San Marco is not allowed to take pictures inside, but the snow falls to ensure that the snow fall and the beautiful cliff in winter are damaged by the various crooked nuts that are the first to raise the camera...... From the church, climb the highest bell tower in the city, St. Mark's Bell Tower, and from the top you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city.

The red city of San Marco's bell tower is surrounded by an endless ocean, and the small islands scattered in the distance are scattered at a glance, and you have to be amazed by this unique city in the world. The bell tower of San Marco can even see the take-off and landing of planes in the distance. Nearby are the five large circles of St. Mark's Basilica.

It is a typical Byzantine architectural feature. It is surrounded by fine Renaissance architecture. However, although the square is beautiful, it is the lowest place in the whole place, and before the tide rises by ten points, the sea water of the Grand Canal can easily gush out of the ground through the drainage canals, and the journey will be a puddle of water.

When the tide comes, it becomes the first place to suffer, and the scene of flooded squares is not unusual. On the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the only building on the island is naturally the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, from which Monet's priceless masterpiece "San Giorgio Maggiore - Early Morning" is derived. The Church of Our Lady of Well-being in the distance.

Built in 1630 A.D., at the time of the Black Death, the church was built to dedicate to the Virgin Mary in the hope of saving the people from illness, hence the name "Salute", which means "well-being, gratitude". Speaking of which, it is certainly not to be missed. The architectural features belong to the distinctly European medieval Gothic architecture.

Once upon a time, it was the most magnificent building and was once the government office of a powerful and wealthy republic. However, after several storms, it has now evolved into one of the most interesting art museums. The first floor of the interior displays mostly Gothic cloisters that were used in the early days.

The famous golden ladder of the cloister on the second floor is flanked by the gold wall cloth on both sides, and there are gorgeous murals on the top. The staircase leads to the Parliamentary Chamber, which was once the official entrance. The halls were so splendid and extraordinary, that the extravagance of the governor had come to light on paper, and there was no need to make up for it at all. There is no Chinese commentary, and the English description is mixed with various ancient words.

For the European history blind of Xueluo and Dong Qingmei, I really don't know much, and I should be a fool of myself, aha~ What must be brought out here is Tintoretto's work "Kingdom of Heaven", which is displayed in the large councilor conference room on the second floor, and is the largest oil painting in the history of world painting. Completed in 1509, the painting is 7 meters high and 22 meters wide.

There are more than 700 figures in the painting, which are huge in length and exquisitely conceived, and occupy an important position in the history of world art. It also displays a variety of weapons and cavalry styles from the Middle Ages to modern times, and some cliffs are ashes. At the end of the walk there is a covered bridge, and the two ends of the bridge are connected to the prison. This covered bridge is the Bridge of Sighs, when the prisoner is on trial.
