Chapter 123

Ye Yi’s trip to Venice was about to end, but it was only on the last day that the bell was heard. Ye Yi couldn’t help but feel a little strange and doubtful in his heart.

Because I was busy looking at other places before, and I have been busy during this time, Ye Yi did not notice the problem of the bells these days.

But now it’s all here. Ye Yi wanted to get a general idea at the right time, so he suddenly stopped entering the clock tower, and then spoke in very pure Italian: “Excuse me, why didn’t I hear the clock in the previous few days? What about the sound?”

At first, the staff at the entrance of the bell tower, like other Venetians, were surprised that Ye Yi’s Italian would be so pure, and then quickly recovered and explained.

“Hello sir! Welcome to Venice. The Campanile of San Marco was undergoing maintenance before, and the robot on it was also renovated and repaired.”

It turned out to be overhaul…

Ye Yi knows this.

Staff member: “Is there anything else you can help, sir?”

Ye Yi shook his head and said that there were no other problems, and also thanked him.

After the wild translator [I learned fake Italian] in the live broadcast room performed the translation, the audience generally understood why they had not heard the bell before.

[It turned out to be overhauling. 】

[It’s an overhaul! The anchor’s luck was very bad. During the seven-day trip, he didn’t hear the bell for six days. 】

【Yup! Although the anchor’s luck was a bit bad, but he didn’t hear the bell for six days, and the bell tower was under maintenance. This is too bad luck! 】

[Don’t tell me, in fact, from another perspective, the anchor’s luck is still 29, because I said it before. I will come to this clock tower on the last day, and then I will hear the voice on the last day. Coincidently! Good luck too! 】

[But I personally still feel a little bit outrageous, after all, it has been overhauled for six days! It’s just a few minutes. Why does the maintenance take so long? 】

[What else can it explain? It’s nothing more than those workers who are lazy and wandering. Otherwise, where does it take such a long time? 】

【and many more! What is the robot that the staff member just mentioned? 】

The audience in the live broadcast room was discussing about the overhaul time, and when it came to a certain moment, some audience members mentioned the long overhaul time and the robots.

At this time, Ye Yi had slowly walked into the stairs of the bell tower, and was preparing to introduce and explain to the audience. He also saw these barrages in due course, so he spoke.

“In fact, it is not possible to blame a certain worker or someone on the maintenance time. The maintenance of the San Marco Bell Tower is really careless. Because… how to put it… In fact, the bell tower that everyone sees is a renovation, even Rebuilt.”

As soon as Ye Yi’s voice fell, it was the first time that the audience in the live broadcast room attracted inquiries.

[Renovation? reconstruction? How can it be? This clock tower looks very historic, how could it be rebuilt? 】

【correct! correct! It looks magnificent and very historical! How could it be rebuilt? 】

[There is one thing to say, even if you say renovation, I believe it, but will the reconstruction be a bit outrageous! 】

[Yes! How can it be possible to rebuild such an important architectural cultural relic? 】

After browsing the barrage roughly, most of the audience didn’t agree with Ye Yi’s refurbishment just now.

In their opinion, this clock tower does not look like it has been reconstructed, no matter whether it is historically or otherwise analyzed.

When Ye Yi saw these bullet screens, he was not eager to explain or explain in the first place. Instead, he flipped the camera out into the bell tower first, so that the audience in the live broadcast room could see the situation inside the bell tower more clearly.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Then after the audience watched it for about a minute or two, Ye Yi slowly spoke.

“It is said that the predecessor of the Campanile of San Marco appeared in the 9th century. There was no chief executive in Venice at that time. The local duke was pietrotribuno. It was built on the foundations of ancient Rome as a watchtower of the pier. It was later included in Within the confines of Piazza San Marco.”

Speaking of this, Ye Yi paused, and then reached out and touched the handrails of the stairs. Although this place has been regarded as an attraction, Ye Yi still felt a little dust from above.

But seeing the dust, Ye Yi just smiled. For the age of the 21st century, many people take the elevator, and the elevator is naturally the first and best choice.

For buildings that are more than ninety meters in height, few people generally choose to climb stairs.

What’s more, the ticket fares for taking the elevator and climbing the stairs are the same.

But not only does the dust do not affect Ye Yi’s mood, he even has a little bit of fortune in his heart. Fortunately, he chose to walk instead of the elevator.

At this time, within the Bell Tower of St. Mark, only Ye Yi was walking on the stairs. The sound of leather shoes stepping on the stairs also seemed a little ethereal, but not empty.

In fact, only from the air environment in the clock tower, it should not be very good. After all, Ye Yi touched the dust before, but Ye Yi walked on the stairs and felt more, like a dusty historical past. The charm.

At the right time, he didn’t hold back, and then he started talking down.

“Later in the 12th century, the Duke of Venice at the time was domenicomorosini, at the bottom of the bell tower…that is, the area where the tickets were collected before and where I am now. It was part of the cloister. At that time, it was regarded as Venice. The barracks of the guards of the Doge’s Palace.”

“At the same time, this area was built by San Sorvino in 1549, and at the same time it was expanded in 1663.”

“However, in 1489, a fire caused heavy damage to the bell tower of San Marco and burned the wooden tip of the bell tower. The shape of the bell tower is now designed in the 16th century… It is worth mentioning that during this period At that time, the clock tower was destroyed by an earthquake in March 1511.”

Ye Yi climbed up while explaining to the audience in the live broadcast room.

And just when Ye Yi said this, most of the audience was stunned in an instant.

[Ah this… isn’t it… this clock tower is so many and troublesome? 】

【correct! This clock tower obviously looks intact! Unexpectedly, there have been so many disasters? 】

[Gosh! This clock tower has been destroyed several times before? 】

For a while, most of the audience was surprised at the tragic past experience of the San Marco Bell Tower. In their opinion, such a seemingly complete bell tower should not have been destroyed the same number of times.

Never thought it would be so many disasters.

But before these audiences can further diverge their thinking, Ye Yi’s voice will be heard again in the live broadcast room at the right time.

At this time, Ye Yi had slowly walked up to the lower part of the middle of San Marco’s Bell Tower, and his words began to echo.

“The first reconstruction after the earthquake was carried out by giorgiospavento and was finally completed on July 6, 1513. At that time, the historian marinosanuto also recorded the process of the celebration.”

“In the following centuries, the Campanile of San Marco was damaged by fire many times. If I remember correctly, it can be roughly that Logana completed the reconstruction of the Campanile of San Marco in 1653. At the same time, in 1745 4 In May, a fire broke out, forcing the bell tower to carry out large-scale repairs again and causing some workers to be killed by falling rocks. But these… not all that this bell tower has encountered!”

In 1776, the bell tower was added with a lightning rod!

In 1820, the old statue of the archangel Gabriel was replaced with a new statue by luigizandomeneghi!

In July 1902, signs of cracking appeared on the north side of the San Marco Campanile. The cracks continued to expand in the next few days. The San Marco Campanile finally collapsed on July 14 and destroyed the corridor below!

Finally, on the afternoon of the collapse of the San Marco Bell Tower, the joint committee allowed more than 500,000 lire to rebuild the bell tower. It decided to rebuild it based on the previous design and strengthen the internal support to prevent the bell tower from collapsing again.

The final reconstruction was completed on March 6, 1912, after which the Campanile of San Marco was officially opened on April 25, 1912!

Coincidentally, it took just a thousand years from the construction to the collapse of the Bell Tower of San Marco!

Ye Yi said a lot in one breath, but he didn’t feel the slightest tiredness, nor did he even feel dry mouth or anything. He looked at the clock tower, but these furnishings, and the more they went up, the dust on the handrails of the stairs was More and more.

After Ye Yi told all these things about San Marco’s Bell Tower, the audience in the live broadcast room was already a little uncomfortable.

This building looks so rich in heritage!

Unexpectedly, I have encountered so many hardships in the past!

And it is hard to imagine that this clock tower has a history of thousands of years!

In an instant, I don’t know what kind of emotion is growing in the hearts of the audience. They follow the Ye Yi live studio camera and constantly look at this clock tower full of various history.

At the same time, the audience can also imagine that if it were not for Ye Yi to explain to them, they would not be able to see it at all, and they would not understand this beautiful and charming clock tower, which contains thousands of years of history behind it. Historical time.

And all kinds of things that happened in that thousand years of time, slowly through Ye Yi’s mouth, echoed in this empty and non-empty clock tower.

The echoes of speech echoing from the inside of the bell tower and the echoes of the footsteps of leather shoes seem to be telling the story of the bell tower.

Ye Yi walked alone on the age-old ladder, accompanied by the echo of his lonely commentary. He was alone, but Ye Yi didn’t feel lonely.

Because with him, there are not only the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, but also the stories behind this clock tower that happened in the thousand years of time.

The deposition of history has never been forgotten because of “off the beaten track”. There is always a moment of being remembered or mentioned, and Ye Yi himself does not know how long he has been away.

When he climbed to the top of the bell tower, the long and narrow corridor stairs just appeared on his cheeks, and he felt a strong sea breeze from top to bottom!



This gust of wind seems to be mixed with stories, but also with someone’s thoughts.

And Ye Yi also ascended to the tallest building in Venice while the sea breeze was blowing!

Under you, far away, looking out!

The whole of Venice is very beautiful…
