Chapter 1652 Immortal David

After about 20 minutes, the convoy drove into the old city of Florence, and the driving speed immediately slowed down, and the scenery outside the car window suddenly became much more beautiful.

The change of scenery outside the window gives people a feeling of suddenly returning from modern times to ancient times, which is very wonderful.

The streets that the convoy passed were all quaint, and there was not a single modern building in sight.

On both sides of these streets, there are ancient buildings built in various eras and styles, row upon row and colorful, giving this ancient city a rich color.

Among them, there are pre-medieval Romanesque architecture, Gothic architecture, Renaissance-style architecture, and various historical buildings such as Baroque and Rococo styles, which are dazzling and dizzying!

The fronts, corners, and balconies of these ancient buildings are basically filled with delicate blooming flowers and lush green plants. They are full of enthusiasm and vitality, just like the attitude of the Italians towards life.

When the convoy passes a street corner or passes through a certain square, you can always see some exquisitely carved sculptures or fountains full of artistic atmosphere, maybe it was made by a famous art master.

In addition, on these ancient streets with a history of hundreds of years, motorcycles are parked everywhere, most of them are light scooters, and there are very few cars and bicycles.

This is a major feature of Florence, and perhaps the biggest and most obvious difference between modern and ancient Florence, and the rest seems to be similar!

Perhaps, in some people's eyes, this city is too old, and the buildings that have existed for hundreds of years are also dilapidated, and they cannot be compared with the modern buildings that are bright and well-equipped.

However, in Ye Tian's eyes, the whole city of Florence seems to be shrouded in a rainbow, which is extremely beautiful!

In the eyes of all people who love history and art, this ancient city is a huge treasure, a paradise of art, and its value is incomparable!

Every building, every street, every sculpture and fountain here has its own wonderful story, and all of them radiate dazzling light of humanism, which is eye-catching!

Looking at the beautiful scenery constantly flashing by outside the car window, Ye Tian and Betty sitting in the car had already been deeply attracted by this ancient city and were fascinated by it.

"Wow! The streets of Florence are so beautiful. Compared with the old city of Paris, it looks more lively and colorful here. The scenery of the old city of Nice is a bit similar to this!"

Betty said with emotion, her eyes full of fascination.

Ye Tian turned to look at his wife, then smiled and said in a low voice:

"Compared to Paris, the protection of the old city of Florence is better and more complete. The old city of Florence we see now is almost the same as what people saw hundreds of years ago!

Of course, excluding these motorcycles, neon lights, signs, and other modern items on the streets, as long as these things are removed, Florence can instantly become a Renaissance city.

In this city, we can see ancient buildings and sculptures from the Middle Ages and even earlier, such as the representative Romanesque architecture built between the fifth and eighth centuries, the Chapel of San Giovanni!

We can also see the ancient buildings of the early Renaissance, the most famous of which is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, built in 1296, a landmark building in Florence, and one of the three major domes in Europe..."

While Ye Tian was introducing Florence, the capital of art, the convoy passed through the ancient streets and drove quickly to the Medici Villa Hotel in the center of the old city.

The area of ​​the old city of Florence is small, and the vertical and horizontal distances are less than three kilometers away.

Not long after, the Medici Villa Hotel, which was rebuilt from an eighteenth-century noble palace, appeared in front of the convoy and broke into everyone's field of vision!

At this time, there was an introduction about the ancient city of Florence, and Ye Tian had to stop after talking less than a third of the time.

Since the room had been booked long ago, and Charlie and the others had already checked in, this saved a lot of trouble!

Therefore, after Ye Tian and the others arrived, they went directly to the room that had been booked without any delay, and did not stop in the hotel lobby.

Even so, many guests in the hotel still saw Ye Tian and the others, and knew that they and their group had checked into this five-star hotel, which immediately caused a commotion!

Especially thinking of Ye Tian's past deeds, many tourists can't help but feel worried, lest they will suffer disaster.

Of course, there are also guys who are excited to watch the excitement.

After entering the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel with the best views and views, Ye Tian secretly turned on the perspective as usual, thoroughly seeing through every corner of the entire suite inside and outside, just in case!

Prior to this, Charlie and the others had thoroughly inspected the presidential suite and other rooms, and made some anti-tapping and anti-monitoring arrangements to prevent people from secretly peeping.

However, what Ye Tian believes most is still his omnipotent eyes.

Through perspective, he did not find any monitoring and listening equipment in the presidential suite. The room was quiet and safe, so he could stay in it with confidence.

Afterwards, he and Betty opened the suitcase, took out the luggage they were carrying, washed and changed their clothes, and took a rest to adjust the jet lag and status.

In the blink of an eye, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

After adjusting their condition, Ye Tian and Betty left the Medici Villa Hotel by car, and officially began to visit Florence, an ancient city full of humanistic and artistic atmosphere.

The first stop they chose was the famous Michelangelo Square.

Ten minutes later, the bulletproof SUV they were riding in arrived at Michelangelo Square and stopped on the side of the road in front of the square.

After the vehicle stopped, Ye Tian and Betty got out of the car immediately, and then, under the protection of several security personnel including Cole, walked along the steps to the square while admiring the surrounding scenery.

Seven or eight meters behind them, followed by three or four Italian policemen in plain clothes, and two of Giovanni's men, Italian cultural relics gendarmes also in plain clothes.

As in the past, during the march, Ye Tian took on the role of tour guide again, introducing Michelangelo Square to Betty and the others.

"The reason why this square is called Michelangelo Square is because one of the famous symbols of Florence stands in the center of the square, Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece, "David".

It is a pity that in the last century, the Florence Municipal Government moved the sculpture "David" to the art gallery of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts out of consideration for protecting the famous sculpture.

Now if you want to see Michelangelo's sculpture of "David", you can only go to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Later today, or early tomorrow morning, we will go there to enjoy it.

After the removal of "David", the Florence Municipal Government erected a replica in its original position, a bronze sculpture of "David", which at first glance looks the same as the original.

Michelangelo Square is located on the high ground at the southern end of Florence. Standing on the square, you can overlook the panorama of Florence, so it becomes the first stop for many people to start their tour of Florence! "

While speaking, the group of them had already entered Michelangelo Square.

Not far in front of them is the tall bronze statue of David, overlooking the whole of Florence and all the tourists who come here to visit!

Seeing this replica of Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece, Ye Tian and the others couldn't help but stop, standing where they were, admiring this shocking sculpture from a distance.

At this moment, a loud whistle suddenly came from everyone's ears, with a somewhat frivolous taste, and it came from several different people.

"Shh-!"

The first time Ye Tian heard these whistles, he immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes!

He had already heard that these frivolous whistles were directed at himself and the others, to be precise, they were probably directed at Betty!
