Because of the sudden and fierce gun battle in the morning, Ye Tian had to adjust today's tour itinerary.
In the original plan, they planned to visit the large and small antique shops and galleries in the old city in the afternoon, sweeping up the antique artworks left in every corner of the city of Florence.
Now they can only cancel this plan and raid the numerous antique shops and galleries in the city tomorrow. Anyway, they have plenty of time and are not in a hurry.
For the whole afternoon, Ye Tian and the others visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the symbol of Florence and the fourth largest cathedral in the world.
During this period, they not only visited and admired this exquisite Renaissance-style historical building, but also admired a large number of top-notch antiques and artworks displayed in this historical building.
This includes the golden relief of the 'Gates of Paradise' by the art master Ghiberti, Michelangelo's statue of St. Peter, the huge mural 'The Last Judgment' by the art master Vasari, and so on.
Without exception, every piece of antique art here is famous in the history of Western art, priceless, and has extraordinary and huge artistic value.
Of course, Ye Tian and the others also visited the mausoleum of the genius architect Bruneneschi, the designer and builder of this church, located underneath the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers.
After visiting the interior of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, it was already past five o'clock and close to six o'clock in the afternoon.
In Florence in mid-November, the days are relatively short and night comes earlier. Around six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is already a little dark, and it is dusk.
As dusk fell, Florence, which had been tense for a day, seemed to relax a lot. The smell of gunpowder smoke in the air had been completely washed away by the continuous light rain, and it could no longer be smelled.
Because of the cloudy weather, the street lights on the streets of the old city were turned on early, showing people another style of Florence, the art capital, which is also very beautiful.
At this time, Ye Tian and the others strolled through the 463 steps on the north side of the church to the top of the dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Standing on this commanding height, they overlooked the street scene of the old city of Florence.
Accompanying them on the dome were Leonardo, two members of the Swiss Guard, and an administrator of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.
As for the Cardinal of Florence, because he was old, he could no longer climb the more than 400 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 visited the famous Giotto’s Bell Tower.
The group of them climbed up the steps inside the bell tower, measured the tall Gothic tower with their feet, and admired the many murals and sculptures inside the bell tower.
By the time they came down from Giotto's Bell Tower, it was already half past seven in the evening, the sky was completely dark, and darkness enveloped the entire Florence.
At this time, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers had prepared a dinner and invited Ye Tian and the others to the banquet.
Ye Tian naturally would not refuse this kind invitation and happily accepted the invitation.
While drinking and drinking, the time quickly came to nine o'clock in the evening.
After the dinner, Ye Tian and the others planned to visit the San Giovanni Baptistery again, and then return to the Villa Medici Hotel to end today's tour.
Accompanied by Leonardo, two members of the Swiss Guard, and several senior priests, Ye Tian and the others left the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and walked together to the Baptistery of San Giovanni across the square.
At this time, there were no more pedestrians or tourists in the square in front of the cathedral.
In these days of bleak autumn wind and continuous rain, who would come here to hang out in the wind and rain at night when they are full and have nothing to do?
Coupled with the **** massacre that took place on Calchaioli Road today, everyone in the city is terrified. No one dares to run into the street at night, unless they think their life is too long!
Even so, some figures, lights, and open umbrellas can still be seen in the square in front of the church.
The people 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 only a few media reporters left in the square. Many of them are passionate about journalism but cannot withstand the cold of late autumn and have to evacuate the place.
The media reporters who are still here are all shivering from the cold, and they probably won’t be able to hold on for much longer.
As for the Florence police officers who were armed and on guard, they had to stick to this place and were always on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment.
It is completely conceivable that at this time, they were wondering how to curse Ye Tian crazily. It is estimated that everyone was itching with hatred.
Seeing Ye Tian and the others finally walking out of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers, the remaining media reporters in the square immediately rushed over with cameras and camcorders in hand, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Similar to the situation in the afternoon, before they could rush forward, they were stopped by the Florence police who were waiting for them. They could only stay ten meters away and ask Ye Tian questions loudly.
"Good evening, Steven, I am a reporter from Corriere della Sera. Why did you stay at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore for so long? From about two o'clock in the afternoon until now.
What have you been doing during this time? Can you explain your relationship with Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral? Why do you receive special treatment that is different from ordinary people? "
"Good evening, Steven. At five o'clock this afternoon, an important figure in the Casamonica family told reporters that everyone in their family was in Rome and no one died in Florence today.
The guys who died on Calchaioli Road were just low-class street gangsters who usually acted under the banner of the Casamonica family, but were not members of the Casamonica family.
And the important figure in the Casamonica family said that you are welcome to visit Rome. If there is a chance, he would like to meet and communicate with you. What do you think of this statement? "
Hearing the questions from these media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped, quickly glanced around the scene, and then said loudly with a smile:
"Good evening to all friends from the media. I didn't expect that it is so late and the weather is so cold, but everyone is still here. You are so dedicated and I admire you very much.
For everyone’s professionalism, I can’t let you go in vain. That would be too unethical. Next, I will answer a few questions that everyone is more concerned about.”
Hearing this, the eyes of many media reporters at the scene couldn't help but light up. Everyone's eyes flashed with excitement and full of expectations. Finally, the wait was not in vain!
In an instant, the microphones and recorders in the hands of these media reporters stretched forward, wishing they could directly cross the distance of about ten meters and hit Ye Tian's face.
After a pause, Ye Tian continued to speak loudly:
“The reason why we stayed in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore for so long was entirely because this exquisite historical building, as well as the antique artworks such as sculptures and murals inside, are so attractive.
Don’t forget, I am a top antique art appraisal expert and professional treasure hunter. I really like to visit and appreciate antique art and historical buildings from various periods. This is also my job.
Journalists who know me well may know that when I was in New York, I often spent all day in major museums. Even if I traveled to other places, I would never miss the local museums.
In this way, everyone can understand why I have stayed in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore for so long. If it had not been dark, I would have continued to stay here and enjoy everything here.
As for my relationship with the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, to be honest, there is no special relationship between us. We are just ordinary tourists like all other tourists who come here.
The reason why we enjoy special treatment is because of the two top works of art that I gave to the Vatican some time ago, Raphael's "Icon of the Virgin" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ".
It is precisely because of those two priceless top-notch works of art that the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers gave us the green light. If you also send these two paintings, you will definitely enjoy such a courtesy! "
Hearing this, everyone at the scene couldn't help but rolled their eyes angrily, and everyone secretly complained.
You are the lucky bastard, who else has outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo? You may not come across one in your lifetime!
Even if you were lucky enough to get such a top-notch and priceless piece of art, who would be willing to give it away for nothing? That would make me feel so distressed!
While secretly complaining, many media reporters also nodded in agreement with Ye Tian's explanation, without any doubts!
These words are reasonable and impeccable.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian sneered and said loudly:
"As for what the important person in the Casamonica family said to reporters, just listen to it as a joke. Don't take it seriously. That guy seems to have forgotten that this is an era of information explosion.
Are those idiots who died on Calchaioli Road members of the Casamonica family? The police must know it very well, and so do our media friends and many other people.
I have said before that I will travel to Rome in the future, but I do not want to have any interaction 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 sounded quite excited.
"Steven, the Casamonica family and the Gypsy gang have joined forces again and are preparing to attack you tonight to avenge those scum who died during the day"
