Because this is just a Medici family chapel, but because of the sculpture designed by Michelangelo for him, he decided to go in and take a walk. So Yunluo and An Chu met this trip to Florence almost became a trip to visit the Medici family, but Yunluo thought it was worth it! Until now, Yunluo reminiscent of Florence, the Medici Chapel point is the most amazing place that makes Yunluo feel.

First, let’s talk about the relationship between the Church of San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapel. In the previous part of the itinerary of Rome, it has been mentioned that large churches generally have main halls and small chapels, while the Church of San Lorenzo is also made of the old sacred room built by Bruneneschi, and the new sacred room built by Michelangelo.

The 17th century Monarch's Chapel is composed. The New Sacred Room refers to the Medici Chapel behind the church. The Medici Chapel was deeply shocked. Yunluo evaluated this attraction as the most impressive attraction that day. Looking back now, this point is still in the top 3 among the attractions throughout Italy!

What is the reason? Yunluo saw what the writing and aura of aristocrats are, not nouveau riche! The place I just entered was dull, just some inscriptions, handicrafts, etc., and a decoration with a heavier taste was simply Yunluo’s love! I took it quickly and Yunluo called it a worship of death.

In the future, I really want future generations to make Yun Luo a ^_^ walk into the main room and be blinded by the sight of the sight! This is a noble existence that even a magnificent palace cannot match! All the words imagined in my mind are enough to describe such elegance. The entire wall and the ground are exquisite and smooth marble, although there are no complex and gorgeous patterns.

But the simple stripes are so grand, showing their style! There is no rich atmosphere of being rich. In short, Yun Luo was deeply shocked. However, no photos were left here, and there was no magnificent effect. Thinking about it, he must have been completely shocked at that time and didn't bother to take photos.

There are six coffins hanging on the wall. They are all carved from high-quality marble. Of course, there are the Medici family's medicine ball logos on it:) The names of these 6 lucky and noble family members are engraved above. Yun Luo has never known whether the body is placed in it or is just a symbol of decoration here?

In short, if you can sleep here forever, it will be considered a smile. The gorgeous dome. Going further in, there are the tombs of the two most famous elders of the Medici family, and the sculptures created by Michelangelo in the later period above them. On one side is the statue of Julieno Medici and the tomb coffin on both sides of the slow slope, called "Day" and "Night".

On the other side is the statue of Laurentzo Medici and a statue of a man and a woman on both sides of the tomb coffin, named "Dungeon" and "Morning". These statues were commissioned by Michelangelo to build for him, and they were able to forgive Michelangelo's "betrayal" during his loss of power.

Re-held responsibilities. Yunluo has always been moved by such a mind and love for art. He walked out of the Medici Chapel and could not calm down for a long time. Then he came to the next attraction - the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. The Church of the Holy Cross is the largest church in the Saint Francis denomination, a relatively standard secondary main church.

After that, the internal structure of most European Catholic churches was developed based on the form of this church. This church buried many celebrities from the Tuscan region and even Italy, including Dante, Galileo, Michelangelo, Machivilla, Marconi, etc. According to the purpose of the star-chasing family, Yun Luo and Anchu met here to worship one by one.

The exterior and interior style of this church are somewhat similar to the Virgin Flowers, including the stained glass inside, which is not very gorgeous and has a slightly dim color decoration. I took a map and followed it with a long circle. There are many exquisite murals and artworks worth stopping. There are really many celebrities buried here.

The most famous ones should be Michelangelo and Galileo (although Dante's tomb is also here, but his body is not here). These celebrities shine brightly before their lives. After their death, they were just wisps of dust. Michelangelo's tomb was designed by his students, and the statues on the coffin were very similar to those designed by him for the Medici Chapel.

There is a staircase above Galileo's tomb, which seems to symbolize the peak of science. About Galileo. In the last episode of the bb documentary, it is said that the teacher of the Medici family, whose contribution to the scientific community is obvious to all, was once respected and appreciated by the court (church). However, everything changed after he proposed the Sun-centrism.

Although his writings were published in a very obscure way (a dialogue between two scientists), the widespread spread of this theory clearly violated the core values ​​of the Catholic Church's "the earth is the center of the universe". So Galileo was arrested and arrested from Florence to Rome for sanctions. The Medici family did their best but failed to retain him.

At the end of the documentary, the Medici family completely announced that they had given up all their funding for Galileo. Faced with power and interests, this noble family still chose to compromise. When they saw the old Galileo kneeling on their knees and crawling in the Vatican hall loudly announced that they had admitted that the earth was the center of the universe, their hearts were about to be broken.

Hundreds of years later, the church rehabilitated him and washed away his grievances. After leaving the Holy Cross Church, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the Arnold River again. The blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red tiles were still beautiful! I found a small shop by the river and had a simple meal:) After the meal, Yunluo and An Chuyu rushed to the most famous Uffizi Art Museum.

Unexpectedly, there was a long queue at the door. Yun Luo secretly took out the previous Fluente card and handed it to the guard for him to ask. As a result, when he came back, he actually said that the card could not be bought directly. He was stunned and looked carefully at the text on the card.

It was too vague. The general meaning might be that you could buy tickets through their travel agency, so you skip the queue. Yunluo and An Chu were unwilling to give up, and returned to the window of the train station and the previous newspaper booth. They were told that they were not accepted. Sweat. After several calls, they were pushed around, so they were basically sure that this was a fraudulent company.

If you can't continue, you will go bankrupt! At this time, Yunluo and An Chuyu were wasting a lot of time to go back and forth. An Chuyu said that you might as well give up Uffizi and go directly to Pitty Palace on the other side of the river. Although 555 is unwilling, you really don't have the mood to queue up again. This lesson tells Yunluo and An Chuyu that when ordering tourism products, you should still choose a big brand with a good reputation.

But Yunluo also saw the discount news on the tour this time, but he didn't expect it. Hey, just take it as a lesson! By the way, the real Florence toon card is called ards, 72 euros. Although it is relatively expensive, it basically covers all famous attractions. There are special channels, if you stay in Florence for a long time.

It's still very cost-effective. Uffizi means an Italian office. It used to be the office of the Medici family. Later, the descendants of the family donated all the collections they had in their collection to the government. This place became a public art gallery. Now the art gallery mainly exhibits paintings, while other sculptures are placed in the Gallery of Bagero.

The entire art gallery has more than 100,000 exhibits, divided into 46 exhibition halls according to the creation time and genre. The most famous ones include Botticelli's "Spring", "Birth of Venus", Leonardo's "The Three Saints of the East", Michelangelo's "The Sacred Family", and Titian's "Urbino Venus".

Missing Uffizi is the biggest regret of this trip (secondly, not having the chance to be St. Peter's Church), especially after watching the BB documentary, he developed a great yearning for Botticelli's "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus". So he was included as one of the goals of his next trip to Italy! After crossing the Arno River, he came to the Palace of Pitti.

When Pitti was built in 1458, it was originally the residence of a Florentine banker Luca Pitti. The famous architect Brunelleschi was the chief designer. At that time, Pitti built the palace to show that his strength was not inferior to the Metic family. However, when the construction was halfway through, it was unable to continue to complete because it was short of money.

This is a typical upstart behavior! The reason why the Medici family has such a status is definitely inseparable from the family's low-key and steady ancestral teachings). In 1539, this palace was purchased by the Metici family and served as the main residence of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Through generations of accumulation, the Pitici Palace gradually stored a large amount of paintings.

Jewelry and precious treasures. Later in the late 18th century, the Palazzo Pitti was regarded as the center of rights of Napoleon Bonaparte, and later the unified new Italian royal family also lived here for a short time. In 1919, Vittorio Emanuele III donated the palace and collection to the Italian people.

The Metic family also built a private garden with a strong Renaissance style behind the palace to entertain distinguished guests. Yunluo told An Chuyu that he had visited the museum too much. Either go to the garden to stroll around, An Chuyu said that there was something good about the garden, and came to see the literary treasures.

So Yunluo and An Chuyu only bought tickets for Pitty Palace, which proved that this choice was too wise! Because the garden is indeed a large area of ​​green space, with a large area and few highlights. The interior is completely different. The gallery with a large collection of masterpieces is a very surprising thing, which quickly diluted the regret of missing Uffizi!

What is the modern art exhibition on the third floor? The second floor is a precious collection of the Renaissance! All the masterpieces that Uffizi could not put down were moved here. I found that a balcony door was hidden, so I pushed it open and the panoramic view of Florence across the river came into my eyes. I didn’t say anything, just three words, so I was so beautiful!

This scene must be the same as hundreds of years ago. I hurriedly took a few pictures, but was soon chased by the staff and invited them out. One person blamed the other for not locking the door. It seems that Yun Luo and An Chuyu have picked up a bargain. Okay, let's put a few pictures in the library~ Many of the picture frames here are placed obliquely. When you look closely, they all turned out to be masterpieces of famous artists.

For example, Raphael, Titian and others, it seems that the exhibition hall has also taken great pains to make a star-chasing family such as Yunluo, and it is very human! Raphael's copycat version of "Mona Lisa". The master has also been young! Raphael's self-portrait, and the handsome man is definitely not a false reputation~ Raphael's masterpiece, I believe many people have seen these two paintings.

Yunluo felt that Raphael's painting style was relatively unified, which was clean and fresh, with accurate shapes, and almost no trace of the brushstrokes was seen, just like a printed photo. It is said that in order to achieve such an effect, many people would repeatedly grind and re-color until they were smooth. The subsequent popular Impressionism emphasizes how to do whatever they want.

There are brush strokes everywhere. I personally like Raphael's school of painting, the Li Garden, and interior decoration. There are many precious paintings in the Pitti Palace. At the same time, you can also see some gorgeous decorations in the interior at that time. In short, this attraction is worth it! After leaving Pitti Palace, Yunluo and An Chuyu were about to finish their meal and went to the small church that An Chuyu ordered to listen to the opera in the evening.

I walked on the famous old bridge. Later I went to the church for dinner. The notes with the name were already placed on the seats. Although the church was small, it was very warm. The play was the classic "Madam Butterfly", which roughly told the story of a Japanese singer being abandoned by a beautiful official and eventually committing suicide.

Because I couldn't understand at all, I could only watch the fun. At the end of the half, Yunluo told An Chuyu that she would leave. An Chuyu was still unsatisfied and said that she would leave after watching. So Yunluo had to patiently listen to it all the time, but this was also respect for the actors. The performance was indeed great. She praised her singing skills!

The heroine is super beautiful~ After enjoying the opera, Yunluo and An Chuyu walked back to the hotel with their exhausted bodies. Their feet were almost at their limit. Along the way, they passed a street of luxury goods, which was very connotational and high-end. This trip, Yunluo understood why Italy produces luxury goods, which is their culture, and it is definitely not for selling high prices.

The so-called luxury goods are the value reflected by spending a lot of artificial energy on an item. Look at the spirit of their artists creating a work over the years or even decades. When you think of Yun Luo and An Chuhui's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, you really cannot understand the true meaning of luxury goods.

If the rich buy luxury goods just to show off their wealth, isn’t it a blasphemy to the product itself? The trip to Florence ended in a hurry, too many essences are too late to taste. I look forward to meeting you again next time!

Some people actually say that coming here is like coming to Zhouzhuang, and Yunluo said he was speechless. The favorite city of Yunluo is Venice. This place that combines many miracles such as geography, history, culture, etc. is bizarre and can definitely be called the best in the world. Similarly, you can watch bb documentaries before traveling.

"A Romantic Dream Floating on the Blue and Blue Waves: Venice". Florence boards the Venice train. Italo is still the company. The train first passes through the Venice Inland Station and then reaches the terminal, which is the Main Island Railway Station. Venice is a treasure land with every inch of land. The accommodation fee for the main island is very high, so some tourists will choose to live inland.

Then I took a bus to the main island to visit. But this was not convenient after all, so Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to take the principle of convenient transportation and saving time and effort. They chose a Samsung hotel next to the main island train station. After getting off the train, they were facing the Grand Canal when they left. The excitement was hard to express.

I first dragged my boxes to find the hotel. This time the hotel is closer to the station than Florence, and the conditions are pretty good. At the front desk, he said that it would take 2 o'clock to check in. There are no rooms available yet, so Yunluo and An Chuyu had to put their luggage downstairs first and start their journey to Venice between Yunluo and An Chuyu!

First, I went to the nearby tourist center to get a Venetian card. This time, Yunluo and An Chuyu recognized it as the official product, named veneziaunia, and directly chose the most expensive one, 39.9 euros. I thought it was like the Florence Tote Card, which basically covered all attractions, but later I was stunned.

There are 20 churches that can be entered, but they are all less famous chapels. You have to take a detour to see them. The museums included, except for the Duke Palace, are basically all unknown small attractions. The ticket price for the Duke Palace alone is only 17 euros. In short, it is because of the craze and not doing your homework well.

Fortunately, it is not a big loss. In addition, there are bus tickets. The bus ships in Venice cost 7 euros per way. Generally, tourists will not buy such tickets. The 24-hour period is 20 euros, and 48-hour period is 30 euros. Yunluo and An Chuyu plan to walk on the first day and buy such tickets for 24-hour period the next morning.

Venice is composed of 118 small islands, connected by 177 waterways and 401 bridges, connecting them by boats. There is no land transportation on the main island and it relies entirely on waterways. In the past, residents used gondola to travel everywhere, but now gondola is basically just a tourism project for tourists to choose from.

The main water transportation should be buses and their own speedboats. In the past, Yunluo was always curious about how the house in Venice was built. After watching the documentary, he learned a little about it. It was roughly a wooden pile that was driven into the water and penetrated into the depths of the soil, and built the foundation on this basis.

The strange terrain here makes Yunluo and An Chuyu dizzy with the map, because you don’t know where to go to the other side of the river, which bridge to go around. However, Yunluo feels that the most comfortable way to go on the island should be to take a carefree walk, and wherever you go, because there are really surprises everywhere!
