At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ye Tian and the others left the Vatican again and drove straight to Coronari Street in the old city of Rome.
This is one of the most famous antique streets in Rome. It has a long history of selling antiques and art. It is one of the main goals of Ye Tian’s trip to Rome. Of course, it cannot be missed!
Compared with the bustling and noisy open-air market of Botsemen Gate, Coronari Street is much quieter, the scenery is more beautiful, and it is full of artistic atmosphere.
Coronari Street is an ancient street, at least a thousand or two thousand years old. According to legend, it was once a pilgrimage road to St. Peter.
On both sides of this street, there are historical buildings in Renaissance and Baroque styles, one after another, row upon row, and each building is very exquisite and interesting.
On the street side of the ground floor of these historical buildings, there are various shops, including restaurants, bars, clothing stores, cafes, etc.
But the most numerous shops here are antique shops and galleries that can be seen everywhere, including many old antique shops that have been passed down for generations and have been passed down for more than a hundred years.
Perhaps precisely because of the existence of these antique shops and galleries, the historical buildings on this street are obviously better preserved than elsewhere in the city of Rome. Although they have gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, they still look bright and beautiful.
For every art lover who travels to Rome, this is a street that cannot be missed. It is a good place to buy antiques and art, and it is also the place that best reflects the charm of the Roman city of art.
Every antique shop opened on Coronari Street is like a small museum, covering everything from ceramics, sculptures, paintings, furniture and other collections!
If you have a sharp eye and are lucky, you might be able to find valuable antiques and artworks in one of the antique shops or galleries on this street, and make a lot of money.
Of course, if you have poor vision, bad luck, and no self-awareness, by the time you leave this street, you may have lost everything and all you will get in exchange is a pile of worthless garbage!
Just after 10:30 in the morning, Ye Tian and his convoy arrived at the entrance of Coronali Street and stopped on the side of the road.
As soon as the convoy came to a stop, Cole and the others quickly got out of the car, spread out, and built a solid line of defense. Everyone was on high alert, vigilantly observing the surrounding buildings and people.
After confirming that the scene was safe, Ye Tian took Betty out of the car, stood on the ground, and quickly took a look at the surrounding situation.
During this process, he also secretly turned on the perspective, and thoroughly looked through several historical buildings within sight, as well as pedestrians and tourists on the street, for safety!
There are no gunmen ambushing in the surrounding buildings, and there are no potential dangers on the streets. Instead, there are many antique artworks that shine with beautiful light, displayed in different antique shops and galleries.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Tian had a clear understanding of the situation at the scene, felt much more relieved, and then ended the fluoroscopy.
At the same time, David and the others also rushed over and met with everyone.
Then, Ye Tian and the others walked into this winding and ancient street about 500 meters long, preparing to sweep this famous antique street and sweep away all valuable and neglected antiques and art.
The arrival of Ye Tian and the others inevitably caused a commotion on Coronari Street.
The Italian cultural relics gendarmes who followed along looked at the backs of Ye Tian and the others as they walked, and they all felt itchy with hatred, but they were helpless.
All they can do is pray in secret.
I hope God bless the antique dealers on Coronary Street and protect them from being robbed by that **** Steven.
Don’t be like those unlucky ones at the Botsamen open-air market, who become the protagonists of tragic scenes and can only weep secretly and slowly lick their **** wounds!
As for the owners of the antique shops and galleries on Coronali Street, when they heard that Ye Tian had arrived, their expressions changed drastically, and they all felt that a disaster was imminent.
Although they had expected that this kind of thing would happen, when Ye Tianzhen came here, they still felt a kind of fear from deep in their hearts.
Even if they were afraid, they couldn't close the door and stop Ye Tian outside and refuse to do his business. This would undoubtedly damage the sign of their antique shop!
They could only grit their teeth and keep praying in low voices, hoping that they would not become the targets of crazy looting!
The many tourists who were visiting Coronali Street naturally saw Ye Tian and the others.
Similar to the reaction of most people, these guys looked at Ye Tian and the others with eyes full of curiosity and a bit of fear.
Of course, there are also some guys who are not too concerned about the excitement and seem quite excited.
"I'm going! That **** Steven actually came to Coronali Street. It's conceivable that this famous antique street will definitely be robbed by this guy Steven"
"That's right! Yesterday's Botsamen open-air market was ransacked by that **** Steven. If it hadn't been for the strange threat of a terrorist attack later, all the antique dealers in the market would have been doomed!"
While people were talking, Ye Tian and the others had opened the door of an antique shop on the street, walked into the antique shop, and disappeared from the street.
In another antique shop dozens of meters away, Bowie, who had once again changed his personal image, was admiring a landscape painting hanging on the display wall, looking at it very intently.
Time flies by quickly, and it’s almost one o’clock in the afternoon.
In the past two or three hours, Ye Tian and the others have swept through most of Coronali Street and visited no less than twenty antique shops and galleries of varying sizes and quality.
Compared with the stall owners, antique shop owners, and gallery owners at the Botsemen open-air market, the antique dealers who run the antique art business on Coronari Street are obviously much higher level.
Most of these guys have been in this industry for decades, and some are even family businesses that have been in business for hundreds of years. Almost everyone can be called an expert in antique art appraisal, and their vision is quite sharp!
These guys basically know everything about the antique artworks displayed in their stores or galleries, and there is little chance of getting away with it.
It goes without saying that it is much more difficult for Ye Tian to pick up items on this famous antique street than before.
Even so, after two or three hours, he still gained a lot.
The hands of David and the others were all filled with the trophies Ye Tian had captured. Taylor also had a new and not old metal trolley case, which was filled with valuable antiques and artworks.
As for Bowie, who followed behind and secretly cooperated with Ye Tian to sweep this antique street, he also made a lot of gains, but he didn't attract anyone's attention!
At this time, Ye Tianzheng was in an antique shop on the street, holding an oil painting on canvas and discussing the price with the shop owner. The negotiation had come to an end.
Betty and the others stood aside, watching the show with smiles on their faces, and turning their heads from time to time to admire other antique artworks displayed in this antique shop.
"Simone, 28,000 euros, this is my final offer. If you can accept it, then we have both money and goods. If you cannot accept this price, then I will have no choice but to turn around and leave!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, but his tone was very firm.
After hearing his words, antique shop owner Simone did not respond immediately.
He first took a deep look at Ye Tian, trying to discern something so that he could make a judgment.
It's a pity that he didn't see anything. The hateful face in front of him always had an unchanging bright smile, as if it was engraved on that face and never disappeared!
Other than that, that hateful face never seemed to show any other expression.
After complaining to himself in frustration, Simone looked at the painting in Ye Tian's hand to see if he could make any new discoveries.
He was very familiar with that painting. He had seen it at least hundreds of times and studied it carefully no less than ten times. At this moment, everything seemed to be the same as before, without any new discoveries.
The scene suddenly became quiet, Simone fell into deep thought, and Ye Tian looked at the antique shop owner with a smile and leisurely, waiting for him to make a decision.
After pondering for a moment, Simone finally made a decision. The antique shop owner gritted his molars and said:
"Okay, Steven, 28,000 euros, I accept this offer. As long as the bank transfer is completed, this classic oil painting belongs to you, and you can leave with it.
But I have a request. After completing the transaction, you'd better explain why you want to buy this oil painting and which artist is it? To clear up my confusion! ”
"Deal! Simone, I can agree to your request. After completing the transaction, I will explain this oil painting, my reasons for purchasing this oil painting, and my appraisal conclusion.
I also have a request. You must provide me with a certificate stating that the painting was purchased in your store and the price, so that I can take it out of Italy! ”
With that said, Ye Tian shook hands with Simone and concluded the art deal.
The next thing was simple. Ye Tian quickly completed the bank transfer and paid off the payment. Simeone personally wrote a certification document and handed it to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian took the certification document and glanced at it, then handed it over to David for David to review it carefully.
He himself looked at Simeone and said with a smile:
"Simone, why should I buy this oil painting on canvas? The reason is simple. I think it is a work of the master Caravaggio and an important work of art in the transition period from Renaissance to Baroque.
As we all know, Caravaggio was a swordsman painter. His life was short, and his artistic career was even shorter. He spent most of his time in wandering and exile, and only a handful of works were created and handed down.
He is known as the last master of Renaissance art and the first master of Baroque art. The style of this painting appropriately reflects the alternation of these two great periods in art history.
In this regard, this oil painting is very special. It is probably the only one in the history of art and is of great research value. It is precisely because this painting has both classicism and baroque styles that you cannot identify it..."
Before he finished speaking, the antique store was completely blown up.
A shrill scream suddenly rang out, resounding throughout the entire antique shop and the entire Coronari Street!
"Steven, you are a robber and a liar! It was only 28,000 euros, and I actually sold a masterpiece of Caravaggio for this price. How stupid!"
No need to ask, of course this scream comes from Simeone!
