Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 1662: Beautiful scenery deep underground
Before the convoy reached the Plaza Mayor, a light rain began to fall in the sky, which added a bit of beauty to Florence, the capital of art, without a sense of interest.
As the light rain fell, people held up their umbrellas one after another, wandering through the ancient streets of Florence in the light rain, searching for the traces and atmosphere left by the Renaissance.
Not far in front is the Municipal Plaza, and Cole's voice came through the earphones again.
"Steven, there is news from the guy in the square that the situation on the Municipal Square is still the same. Except for some thieves, no one from the Casamonica family has been found. You can enter with confidence!"
When the voice fell, Ye Tian immediately responded:
"Yes, but you still have to be careful, there are two scums from the Casamonica family behind, and the other scum will soon receive news, knowing that we have come to the Plaza Mayor!"
While talking, the convoy had driven to the edge of the Municipal Square and stopped by the side of the road.
Immediately afterward, Cole led many security personnel to get out of the car first, quickly dispersed, pulled up a line of defense, and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
At the same time, each of them opened up a black umbrella.
The open umbrella cover not only blocked the raindrops falling from the air, but also blocked the sight from the surrounding ancient buildings. It was a perfect cover.
After confirming the safety of the scene, Ye Tian, Betty, and Anderson just got out of the car and landed on the ancient granite street.
When they got out of the car, each of them also opened a black umbrella, blocking the sky above their heads, and blocking all the condescending gazes.
After standing on the street, Ye Tian immediately turned on perspective secretly, and quickly looked through the people on the street and the ancient buildings on both sides of the street.
Except for the police patrolling the streets, the Italian policemen in plain clothes and the cultural relics gendarmerie behind them, and the two scumbags who followed, he did not find any firearms on the others.
As for those thieves with twinkling eyes and thieves, they don't have pistols, and they mostly carry daggers and sabers.
There are no gunmen in ambush in those ancient buildings on both sides of the street, so don't worry.
In an instant, Ye Tian had already grasped the surrounding situation, and immediately retracted his sight, ending the perspective.
Next, the group of them stepped out and walked into the Municipal Square.
During the march, everyone chatted, laughed, and admired the old buildings on both sides of the street.
The light rain was still dripping underground, falling continuously from the air, gently hitting everyone's umbrella cover, then sliding down the umbrella cover, falling to the ground, and finally splashing away and blending into this ancient city.
As always, Ye Tian once again assumed the responsibility of understanding and speaking, and introduced this beautiful and ancient square to Betty and the others.
"The Piazza della Signoria was built in the 13th and 14th centuries. It is also called the Plaza Mayor and Piazza Monarch. It is the political, economic, cultural, historical and artistic center of Florence.
As early as in ancient Rome, this place was already a central square, with theaters, bathrooms and dyeing workshops scattered all around. The southeast corner was the traditional administrative center-Palazzo Vizio.
This square is full of exquisite sculptures and buildings, so it is known as one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, and it is also known as a supreme treasure in the history of European sculpture!
It can be said that the Piazza della Signoria is an open-air sculpture museum, where we can see the works of many sculptors during the Renaissance! ..."
While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the street and formally entered the Lord's Square. The first sculpture on the square also broke into their field of vision.
When they were about three or four meters away from the sculpture, Ye Tian and the others stopped and began to admire the sculpture.
This is a tall bronze equestrian figure standing on a marble pedestal. Riding on a war horse is a monarch with a high chest and a high chest, a saber at his waist and a rein in both hands, staring into the distance.
After standing in front of the statue and admiring it for a while, Ye Tian said aloud:
"This is the final founder of the Medici dynasty, a bronze sculpture of Grand Duke Cosimo I. Cosimo I is known as the'father of the motherland' of Italy, and this square derives its name.
"Cosimo I Riding Bronze Statue" was built by Ferdinand I to commemorate his father Cosimo I. It was created in 1594 by the famous sculptor Giambologna of the late Renaissance.
In Florence, this is the first large-scale equestrian statue. The pedestal is engraved with Cosimo I’s ‘Feat and Achievement’. This bronze equestrian statue has been guarding Florence for hundreds of years.
The Medici family is not only the ruler of Florence, but also the biggest patron and promoter of the Renaissance. This family played a very important role in the Renaissance.
We cannot say that there would be no Renaissance without the Medici family, but without the Medici family, the Italian Renaissance would never be so brilliant and brilliant!
When we stroll around the world's major museums, revel in the masterpieces of art masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Titian, Masaccio, Botticelli, Donatello, etc.
We should all understand that behind these great Renaissance art masters, there is the same name shining, that is the Medici family, and we should also thank this family!
In fact, many of the great works from the Renaissance were originally collected by the Medici family. Many portraits and sculptures were made for members of this family.
In the history of Western literature and art, the Medici family is very important and a respectable family. The bronze horseman on horseback in front of you reflects the gratitude of the Italians.
With Ye Tian's explanation, Betty and the others have a better understanding of this famous sculpture.
At this time, Ye Tian, while explaining, had opened the perspective again in secret, and looked at the bronze sculpture of horseback riding in front of him.
As far as he could see, the famous sculpture in front of him and the marble pedestal below were immediately penetrated by him, and there was no secret at all!
There are no hidden secrets on the surface of this bronze sculpture, but inside the hollow sculpture, Ye Tian saw an ancient saber.
In his eyes, this saber radiated orange light, extremely dazzling and extremely beautiful.
From the intensity of the orange light, Ye Tian came to the most accurate judgment in an instant. This saber has a history of nearly 500 years!
There is no doubt that this is the saber of the statue's owner Cosimo I. The Medici family emblem on the hilt of the sword and the abbreviation of Cosimo I's name are the best proof.
Although it has gone through a long time for more than five hundred years, the saber preserved by special means is still gleaming and sharp. It is still a deadly weapon without a trace of rust.
Moreover, the style and length of this monarch's saber are exactly the same as the saber hanging from the waist of the bronze statue of Cosimo I, no difference!
Obviously, the saber around the waist of the bronze statue was cast according to this saber.
Undoubtedly, this is definitely a priceless antique weapon, Italy's national treasure antique, but unfortunately, it is hidden in the belly of the statue, Ye Tian can only sigh!
Unless he finds someone who is no one, Yi Rong dresses up and cuts through this famous sculpture, in order to get this priceless monarch's sword!
However, Ye Tian disdains such a thing.
For him, it is not uncommon to see valuable top antique works of art, and it is often found that there is no need to destroy another top sculpture for a monarch's sword.
In the belly of this bronze sculpture, there is only such a monarch's sword, nothing else.
Ye Tian's gaze immediately moved down, and he looked at the marble base under the statue.
What appeared in his eyes were all white marbles, with no gaps, and naturally there were no secrets.
Then he looked at the ground again.
When the line of sight penetrated the granite on the ground of the square and through the thick soil under the granite, a colorful space immediately appeared before his eyes, which was fascinating.
Deep underground, he saw antiques from the Roman period, artifacts from the Etruscan period, medieval artifacts, as well as artifacts from the Bronze Age, and even from the Neolithic Age.
Among them, there are many valuable antiques and cultural relics with great historical research value. Many of them make Ye Tian's heart fascinated and want to take it for himself!
But he knew very well that these antique relics were the same as the monarch's sword in the statue of Cosimo I. He could only admire them, but had no chance to own them.
As early as the 1980s, when the Piazza della Signoria was resurfaced, the municipality of Florence discovered these archaeological sites and these valuable antique artworks.
After discovering these archaeological sites, the Florentine did not continue to excavate, but chose to landfill ~www.ltnovel.com~ to save these precious historical heritages for future generations to discover.
Not only that, they also enacted relevant laws to prohibit any exploration of treasure hunts in the municipal square and surrounding areas, and dig deep underground without authorization.
Even if you have a private house here, you are not allowed to dig in your own yard. All digging deep underground must be approved, and it is impossible to get permission!
This almost cut off all the possibilities of exploring treasure hunting, even Ye Tian could only sigh with joy.
The trick I played on the French island of Citi, buying a set of ancient buildings, and then exploring treasure hunts in all of my buildings, did not work here.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery deep underground for a while, Ye Tian reluctantly retracted his gaze and ended the perspective.
At this point, everyone has finished enjoying the "Cosimo I. Bronze Horseback Portrait", and then walked to the next set of sculptures not far away.
The next group of sculptures is the famous "Poseidon Fountain Sculpture", which is a group of sculptures, completed by the famous art master Amannadi and his assistants, created in 1575.
