Ten minutes passed quickly. Ye Tian squeezed into the crowd again, collected these two priceless top-notch works of art, and put them into the portable painting bag that he had prepared.
Those who were admiring it like crazy could only watch these two top-quality oil paintings being put away, with eyes full of reluctance and regret.
After collecting these two top-notch oil paintings, Ye Tian handed them over to his company employees and asked them to put them away and protect them strictly.
Immediately afterwards, the director of the Vatican Museum and several other experts and scholars immediately gathered around and unanimously made a request to purchase these two top-notch oil paintings.
Similar to how he dealt with Paul and Giovanni before, Ye Tian told these expectant guys his decision. The only thing they might get is Tintoretto's "The Battle of Lepanto".
The price they have to pay is a considerable number of top-notch Chinese antiques, cultural relics and works of art.
Hearing this, these old friends were all stunned on the spot. They also had a headache, where to get top-notch Chinese antiques and works of art that could satisfy Ye Tian's appetite.
And each of them knew very well that if they wanted to take Tintoretto's "Battle of Lepanto", they would be robbed wildly by the greedy guy in front of them!
Next, Ye Tian chatted with everyone at the scene for a few more words, then said goodbye and left. He took David and the others into the basement again and continued to explore the rooms in the basement.
In the following time, many company employees who dispersed and explored upstairs discovered several more secret compartments and walls, located on different floors and in different rooms.
Since its construction in the mid-to-late fifteenth century, this Renaissance-style historical building has served as the residence of the Holy See and an annex to the embassies of different countries, with a strong political overtones.
In a historical building like this, there are many hidden compartments, secret rooms, and places where secrets are hidden, such as between walls.
Unfortunately, these secret rooms, secret compartments, and sandwich walls are all empty, with nothing in them.
Obviously, the things previously stored in these places have been taken away long ago. These secret rooms and secret compartments are also known and are not secrets.
In the basement, Ye Tian also discovered two hidden secret rooms, but after opening the secret rooms, he found nothing.
Such a result makes everyone somewhat disappointed and regretful.
However, with the two priceless oil paintings as the foundation, today it is perfect. The value of those two top-notch works of art is enough to exchange for dozens of such historical buildings.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.
People outside this historic building, as well as many media reporters, all looked at the historic building on the street with longing eyes.
After a morning of waiting, people were somewhat tired by now. Some people who were less patient or had something to do could not wait to leave.
The faces of the people and media reporters who were still staying here all had expressions of impatience.
"It's been a whole morning, and Steven and his gang haven't come out yet. They must have discovered something in this historical building, but they just don't know what big secret or treasure it is!"
"It's not necessarily true. Steven, that extremely lucky guy, might encounter Waterloo this time. As far as I know, there are many rooms and basements in these two historical buildings. It would take a lot to explore them all. Time! ”
There was a lot of chatter on the street, people were discussing enthusiastically, and there were also some guys who were gloating about their misfortune.
At this moment, the door of the Renaissance-style building on the street finally opened, and a group of heavily armed security personnel walked out, standing guard at the door.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian and David, Paolo and Giovanni, curators of the Palazzo Venezia Museum, and the Deputy Minister of Culture of Italy, walked out of the historical building one after another.
As for others, such as Bishop Kent and the Cultural Counselor of the US Embassy, they still stayed in the historical building and did not show up.
Seeing Ye Tian and his group appear, the street immediately became agitated.
Especially those media reporters standing at the front of the crowd raised their voices and asked questions loudly. No one wanted to miss this rare opportunity.
"Good afternoon, Steven, I am the Rome correspondent of "Le Figaro". Can you tell us what you found in this historical building? Everyone here wants to know"
“Hello, Steven, I am a reporter from Milan TV. According to the information we received, you not only purchased several historical buildings in Rome, but also purchased several historical buildings in Milan.
Those historical buildings are said to be near the Sforza Castle. This news has completely spread in Milan, causing quite a stir. Those historical buildings have also become the focus of Milan.
Can you tell us why you purchased those historical buildings in Milan? What is hidden inside those historical buildings? A great secret or a hidden treasure?
It is said that those historical buildings are very close to the Sforza Castle, only about a hundred meters apart. So I would like to ask, are those historical buildings related to the Sforza family’s treasures? ”
As these media reporters asked questions, the streets suddenly became more lively.
Especially the question from the Milan reporter directly aroused everyone's curiosity and made everyone envious!
Everyone is also full of curiosity about the historical buildings in Milan. They wish they could fly to Milan immediately and go to the Sforza Castle in person to see those historical buildings.
This time, I might be able to make a fortune. Who said that all the good things in the world have been taken advantage of by that guy Steven? Maybe good luck will come to me this time!
As Ye Tian walked down the steps, he quickly glanced at this very lively street, then smiled and said loudly:
“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time and thank you very much for your support. I won’t introduce much here about the historical buildings I purchased in Milan.
What I can tell you is that when things in Rome are over, we will go to Milan. As for what is hidden in those historical buildings, the answer will be revealed when we get to Milan.
What everyone is paying attention to at the moment should be these two early Renaissance-style historical buildings. Next, I will introduce to you what I found in this historical building to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
While exploring a room on the second floor of this historic building, my company employees discovered a secret compartment in the wall. In that secret compartment, we made a surprising discovery.
The secret compartment was built in the mid-to-late seventeenth century. The builder was a cleaner at the Embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome, and the cleaner was a guy full of resentment.
He hid two oil paintings in the secret room, as well as a diary that recorded his daily life and his own psychological activities. The major discovery I mentioned was those two oil paintings.
Those two oil paintings should be important collections of the Embassy of the Republic of Venice, or the ambassador's personal collection. They were stolen by the guy named Philip and hidden in a secret room.
The artists who created the two oil paintings were two famous art masters during the Renaissance. They were the famous Venetian painter Giorgione and Tintoretto, who belonged to the same school.
The name of Giorgione's painting is "Venus Bathing", which was created before the famous "Sleeping Venus". The character in the painting is the same female model who is also Giorgione's mistress .
As for Tintoretto’s painting, I believe many professionals have heard of it. It is the masterpiece that is said to have been burned in the fire of the Doge’s Palace in Venice in 1577, "The Battle of Lepanto""
Before he finished speaking, the whole street was completely boiling.
Especially those professionals who were at the scene or watching the live broadcast were completely shocked when they heard Ye Tian's words. They were all stunned and their eyes almost flew out!
