Treasure Hunt all over the World
Chapter 1673: News of night attack
Because of the sudden fierce gun battle in the morning, Ye Tian had to adjust today's tour itinerary.
In the original plan, they were going to visit the antique shops and galleries in the old city in the afternoon, and sweep away the antique works of art left in every corner of the city of Florence.
Now they can only cancel this plan, and tomorrow they will wipe out the numerous antique shops and galleries in the city. Anyway, there is time and there is no rush.
For a whole afternoon, Ye Tian and the others visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the symbol of Florence and the fourth cathedral in the world.
During this period, they not only visited and appreciated this exquisite Renaissance-style historical building, but also appreciated the large number of top antique artworks displayed in this historical building.
These include the gold relief of the'Gate of Paradise' by the artist Ghiberti, the statue of St. Peter by Michelangelo, and the huge mural "The Doomsday" by the artist Vasari.
Without exception, every piece of antique art here is well-known in the history of Western art, with great value and great artistic value.
Of course, Ye Tian and the others also visited the mausoleum of the designer and builder of the church and the genius architect Bruneneski, located under the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers.
After visiting the interior of the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers, it was already close to 6 o'clock in the afternoon at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
In Florence in mid-November, the day was relatively short, and the night came earlier. Around six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was already a bit dark, and it was dusk.
As the dusk fell, Florence seemed to relax a lot after a tense day. The smell of gunpowder in the air had been completely washed away by the continuous light rain, and it could no longer be smelled.
Because of the cloudy sky, the street lights on the streets of the old city were lit up early, showing people another style of Florence, the art capital, which is also very beautiful.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others, through the 463 steps on the north side of the church, strolled to the top of the dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore, standing on this vantage point, overlooking the streetscape of the old city of Florence.
Accompanying them to the dome were Leonardo, two members of the Swiss Guard, and a manager of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Flowers.
As for the cardinal of Florence, because of his advanced age, he could not climb more than four hundred steps, so he did not come up.
In the drizzle, Ye Tian and the others stood on the dome of the cathedral and admired the scenery of the old city of Florence for a while, then walked down the steps and returned to the church again.
Next, they went to visit the famous Giotto Bell Tower.
The group of them climbed up the steps along the internal steps of the clock tower, measured the tall Gothic tower with their steps, and admired the numerous murals and sculptures inside the clock tower.
When they came down from Giotto's bell tower, it was already half past seven in the evening, and it was completely dark, and darkness enveloped Florence.
At this time, the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers had prepared a dinner party and invited Ye Tian and the others to the party.
For this kind invitation, Ye Tian would naturally not refuse, and readily accepted the invitation.
The time came quickly at nine o'clock in the evening.
After the dinner, Ye Tian and the others are going to visit the San Giovanni Baptistery again, and then return to the Medici Villa Hotel to end today's tour itinerary.
Accompanied by Leonardo, two members of the Swiss Guard, and several senior priests, Ye Tian and the others left the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore and walked towards the San Giovanni Baptistery across the square.
At this time, there were no pedestrians or tourists on the square in front of the cathedral.
In these days when the autumn wind is bleak and rainy, who would have enough to eat and have nothing to do, brave the wind and rain and come here to hang out at night?
Coupled with the **** massacre on Karchayoli Road today, everyone in the city was frightened. How dare you run into the street at night unless you think your life is too long!
Even so, some people's shadows, lights, and an open umbrella can still be seen on the square in front of the church, which is fascinating.
Those who are still here at this time are either reporters from major news media or the Florence police on duty, all with their own purposes.
There are not many journalists remaining in the square, and many of them are still unable to withstand the cold of late autumn because of their enthusiasm for journalism, and they have to leave here.
The media reporters who are still here are shivering with cold, and it is estimated that they will not last long.
As for those Florence police officers who are armed with live ammunition and are responsible for vigilance, they have to stay here, always in a state of high alert, and dare not relax for a moment.
It is completely conceivable that at this time, they are uncertain how to curse Ye Tian crazily. It is estimated that everyone hates it.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others finally walked out of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers, the remaining media reporters on the square suddenly rushed over with their cameras and video cameras as if they were beaten with blood.
Just like the situation in the afternoon, before they rushed to the front, they were stopped by those Florence police officers who were standing up, and they had to stay ten meters away and asked Ye Tian loudly.
"Good evening, Steven, I am a reporter from the Evening Post. Why have you stayed at the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers for so long? You have stayed since two o'clock in the afternoon until now.
What have you done during this time? Can you explain your relationship with the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers? Why do you receive special courtesy different from ordinary people? "
"Steven, good evening, at five o'clock this afternoon, an important figure in the Casamonica family told the media reporter that all of their family members are in Rome and no one died in Florence today.
Those guys who died on Karchayoli Road were just innocent street gangsters who usually acted under the banner of the Casamonica family, but they were not members of the Casamonica family.
And that important person in the Casamonica family said that you are welcome to visit Rome. If there is a chance, he would like to meet and exchange with you. What do you think of the other party's statement? "
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped, and quickly scanned the scene, then said with a smile on his face:
"Dear friends from the media and journalists, good evening, everyone. I didn't expect it was so late and the weather was so cold. Everyone would still stick to this place. You are so dedicated. I admire it very much.
Just for your professionalism, I can’t let you go for nothing. That would be too unnatural. Next, I will answer a few questions that everyone is more concerned about."
Hearing this, the eyes of many media reporters on the scene couldn't help but brighten, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement, and they were full of expectations. Finally, there was no waiting!
In an instant, the microphones and recording pens in the hands of these media reporters stretched out, wishing they could not directly cross a distance of about ten meters and hit Ye Tian's face.
After a short pause, Ye Tian continued to speak loudly:
"The reason why we stayed in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers for so long is entirely because this exquisite historical building, as well as the sculptures and murals and other antique artworks inside, are so attractive.
Don’t forget, I’m a top antique art appraisal expert and professional treasure hunter. I really like to visit and appreciate antique art and historical buildings in various periods. This is also my job content.
Friends from journalists who know me may know that when I was in New York, I used to spend the whole day in major museums. Even if I went to other places to travel, I never missed the local museum.
In this way, everyone can understand why I have stayed in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore for so long. If it is not dark, I would like to stay here and enjoy everything here.
As for my relationship with the Basilica of Our Lady of Flowers, to be honest, there is no special relationship between us. Like all other tourists who visit here, we are also ordinary tourists.
The reason why we can enjoy the special courtesy is because of the two top artworks that I gave to the Vatican some time ago, Raphael's "Virgin Mary" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ".
It is precisely because of the two priceless top art works that the Basilica of Our Lady of the Flowers gave us the green light. If you also send out these two paintings, you will certainly enjoy such a courtesy! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help rolling their eyes, and vomiting secretly.
You are the most lucky bastard. Who else has outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo? You may not encounter one in a lifetime!
Even if you are lucky enough to get a piece of this top-notch and priceless artwork, who is willing to give it away for nothing? That's not so distressed!
While secretly voicing ~www.ltnovel.com~, many media reporters nodded in agreement with Ye Tian's explanation, and there is no doubt!
These remarks are reasonable and impeccable.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian sneered and said loudly:
"As for what the important person of the Casamonica family said to the reporter, please listen to it as a joke. Don't take it seriously. That guy seems to have forgotten. This is an era of information explosion.
Are those idiots who died on Karchayoli Road a member of the Casamonica family? The police must be very clear, and friends from the media and many others are also very clear in their hearts.
I said before that I will travel to Rome in a while, but I don't want to have any intersection with the Casamonica family. If there is an intersection, something unpleasant must have happened! "
As soon as he said this, Kenny's voice suddenly came from the earphones, and he was quite excited.
"Steven, the Casamonica family and the gypsy gang have once again joined forces and are ready to attack you tonight to avenge the scum who died during the day"
