Chapter one, three, four, four

Like other churches, there is no need to make loud noises and cannot stay on the steps (the Holy See has a higher square platform)... In short, there are many rules here, and the guards are the strictest things Yun Luo has ever seen, so be careful. There are paintings that Michelangelo has been paintings that have been restored for a lifetime in the Sistine Court.

In addition to the "Genesis" on the roof, there is also a "Judgement of the Last Day". People often see God and Adam's fingertips in various TV series, which is an integral part of "Genesis" on the ceiling. Then this is also the place where the Holy See elected the Pope, the place where the Pope worships... In short...

If the Vatican Museum can be described as an exquisite crown, the Sistine Bible is the most brilliant gem on it. Leaving the Sistine Bible is a gallery with various master works in the Vatican. The gallery contains works by famous teachers such as Titian, Caravaggio, and Van Gogh.

But the most precious ones are Leonardo da Vinci's "St. Gerome" and Raphael's three murals "Christ's Show of the Holy Spirit", "The Virgin of Flino" and "The Virgin of the Crown". Raphael's three murals are placed in a special hall for viewing and have special care. Photographs can be taken but flashes are prohibited.

Other paintings cannot be turned on to take photos, but there are not so many guards... (So Yunluo always thinks that "Christ Shows the Holy Spirit" here is the original work, because when you arrive at St. Peter's Basilica later, you will find that there is a pair there...) How to say, it feels like visiting the Vatican Museum is like Master Baggins falling into Smaug's treasure.

Any corner is made by famous artists, and even if you take a quick look, you will gain a lot. If you come to Italy, please come to the Vatican Museum. To say that being taller is to purify the soul, and to say that being low-end is to open your eyes! The Vatican Museum clearly saw Messi and Maggie Little.

Yunluo and An Chu met and visited the entire Vatican for only 5 hours (this is really unhappy. The museum is too big and too big! Just walking halfway through the 8,000 steps of Xiaomi bracelet, I originally planned to visit St. Peter's Basilica, but I saw people on the outside looking at the scorching sun at 3 pm for the square.

So I decided to give up queuing up and see other attractions first. The nearest attractions to the Vatican should be the Castle of San Angels, but the day Yunluo and An Chu met, why didn't it open the door just now, so I could only look at the overall scenery from a distance. Yunluo, who was shocked by the Vatican, was no longer the original Yunluo, and the castle of this magnitude still felt average.

But the Pantheon we walked to next was different. Although it was not big, the towering dome of the Pantheon once again made people admire the magic of the ancient Romans! Then, here Yunluo knew for the first time that the coffin under the large statues of those churches was really buried with dead people!

For example... Raphael... is buried in the Pantheon. You can see the photos at the specific location. Compared with other Roman buildings, the Pantheon is very different. Why? Because this is a building built in 27 BC. What is the concept? That is to say, in the era when Emperor Cheng of Han favored Zhao Feiyan.

Octavian's son-in-law Agriba built this temple. More than 2,000 years later, all the buildings in China during the same period became ruins, and the Pantheon still stood firm. The Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon Pantheon was the most famous dome, even Michelangelo lamented that it was Raphael's tomb...

The most famous Pantheon is its dome (not the dead man he buried). It is said that this is a concrete specially made by Roman craftsmen that can pour out such a large ceiling that will not fall. You can feel it more. Next to the Pantheon (about less than 1 kilometer) is the famous Piazza de España.

It is also a must-visit place for Rome. On the way from the Pantheon to Piazza de la Spain, you will find that Rome is a magical city. The roadside decoration is not fashionable and exquisite, and it is not much different from ordinary stores. It may be Hermes flagship store, or Endi flagship store...

Anyway, Yunluo remembers that in addition to a luxury brand store, the appearance of the store is also slightly fashionable. The luxury stores on Plaza Spain are decorated with the same luxury stores as other Roman buildings. The crowded squares and flagship stores are hidden in these ancient buildings. Plaza Spain Spain is the most famous stairs in "Roman Holiday".

As for the steps for Hepburn and Gregory Parker to eat ice cream in "Roman Holiday". Well, maybe because Yun Luo and An Chuyun arrived at around 5 pm... it was full of people resting and basking in the sunset, and the fountain in front was also surrounded by people. It is rare to see so many people in Europe, and Yun Luo was a little uncomfortable.

After resting for a while, I saw that the time was almost the same, so I walked back, wanting to see if there were so many people in St. Peter's Church. Fortunately, St. Peter's Cathedral was already in a state of no need to queue up at around 6 o'clock. Yun Luo and An Chuyu easily passed the security check and entered the cathedral inside.

Oh by the way. This is the second day when Yunluo saw the Beijing subway security machine. The first one was in the Vatican. The magnificence of St. Peter's Basilica cannot be described in words, and it can only show one-tenth of its original appearance. It is truly a kind of great reverence for the Catholic Pope.

And the sigh of how many years the church has been plundering for money! For example, the statues in St. Peter's Basilica are basically above 5 meters high. But with such a large statue, St. Peter can place two vertically, and the huge gap adds beauty...

Moreover, this luxurious double-layer statue is like a two-bedroom wall, installed casually inside the church... People don't think it is a very luxurious wall at all... In addition, if you look closely at the ceiling, the marble patterns on the floor and the walls in the church, you will find that the patterns are very regular and picturesque.

You can see the pattern when you put it together! In short, after seeing St. Peter's Basilica, you will find that all the other churches that you have seen before are all magnificent! This is a building that has never been seen before! This is a building that must be seen once in Italy! Hundreds of seats in St. Peter's Basilica are reserved for the believers who have met the pope.

Wednesday's audience is very large. Although there are no people visiting St. Peter's Basilica in the evening, please be sure to pay attention to the church's doors at 7 o'clock. The relevant surrounding convenience stores and several other underground palaces will not be allowed to enter at 6:30. Priority is given to visiting and purchasing. St. Peter's Basilica St. Peter's Basilica St. Peter's Basilica St. Peter's Basilica!

Another pair of St. Peter's Basilica passes over dinner as usual, but one thing to say is that if you have an authentic Western dinner, please prepare for about 2 hours, because you finish a dish, they will serve you a second dish after a long time. And so on... It's not like the Yunluo Kingdom tradition that I wish I could finish the dishes in the first minute and let everyone eat it.

Because I had to take the train to Florence at noon, I did not arrange a intensive itinerary in Rome, but I just continued to stroll around. In addition to Piazza de Republic, there are two attractions, including the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary and the Roman Opera.

The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary is one of the four "main cathedrals" in Rome (the other three are the world's largest St. Peter's Basilica, located in the suburbs of Rome and the Cathedral of St. Paul outside the city of Rome). It is listed as a special apoptotic temple by the Pope. This church was built in the 4th century AD.

It is the first church named by Maria... that is, since the 4th century, the church has been used to decorate it continuously. The main structure of the church was determined in the 5th century, and the murals were perfected in the 15th century. The golden decorations along with the murals are gold plundered from America in the 15th century...

So don't underestimate the golden decorations in the church, it's all real gold and silver! The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary has a basement, which houses silver cradles and golden mangers. It is said to be fragments of the Bethlehem manger where Jesus was born in Jerusalem, Pope Bernini...

In the coffin next to it, there are Saint Jerome (the protagonist of the original Vanity Leonardo da Vinci in the Vatican) and Pope Pius V, as well as the famous designer Bernini. (Influenced by Chinese tradition, every time I see the coffin under the statue... Yunluo feels embarrassing... Are you really a real man burying here?)

There is a square and a bell tower outside the church. The clock tower will ring at 9 o'clock every morning to remind everyone to worship. Yunluo and An Chuyu happened to be a church that arrived around 9 o'clock. The Church of the Virgin Mary is divided into many small rooms, and many small rooms hold mass (either the believers are not sure whether it is a mass or a kind of singing poem).

Visitors can still visit during the Mass, but they cannot enter the cabin to participate... As one of the four main churches, it is the only church in the city (the other one belongs to the Vatican State). I highly recommend coming here to see it! It is best to visit around 9 o'clock. If you are lucky, you can see the singing of poetry!

After visiting the church, you can go to the opera house not far from it (10 minutes walk) to see... Compared with the various ancient Renaissance buildings in the city of Rome, the design of the opera house looks very modern. There is an advertisement version in front of it, listing the names of operas performed recently. If you are interested, you can buy tickets to watch it.

However, when there was no performance, the gate of the opera house was usually closed and could only be seen casually outside. Because the opera house did not open, Yunluo and An Chuyu had a long time to leave. Finally, the two of them decided to go to the Hall of the Madonna of the Angels and Martyrs who had passed many times but had not entered once to see.

This church was designed by Michelangelo and was built in the cold-water bathroom of the Diocletian Bathroom in ancient Rome (1,000 words of the magical modifier for the miraculous art of rice muscles are omitted here).. Unlike other churches, there are not many gorgeous statues in this church, except for a particularly modern statue at the door.

The most attractive thing about the entire hall is the twelve palace lines drawn on the ground. On the floor near the center, a line showing the trajectory of the sun is extended, with specific time and constellations marked on the line. The end of the line extends to the right side of the hall, ending with an image of a constellation. It is said that this is the original Roman version of the "primary meridian".

There is also a bronze statue of Galileo outside the hall, which was presented by Dr. Li Zhendao! After visiting the Hall of the Santa Martyr, Yun Luo and An first encounter with Rome also ended. The next stop is Florence in central Italy! Florence is about an hour's drive from Rome, which is very convenient overall.

There are three train stations in Rome that have trains to Florence, and the intervals are very close. Yunluo and An Chuyu took the italo train invested by Ferrari. They are also commonly known as the "rabbit car". The speed of this train is about 200 kilometers per hour, with a maximum of 285 kilometers. There are vending machines and automatic coffee machines on the train.

There are also free ii and electric plugs for everyone to use. Rabbit cars do not use ticket checkers. They are checked by the conductor after they get on the train. You can hold paper and electronic tickets. Basically, in Europe where order is good, the conductor just checks the number of trains and time. It will not be forced to check every information.

The central railway station in Florence is called "irenzesmn". Be careful when buying tickets. If you buy "irenzeampodi", you will have to walk to the city center for a while. Compared with Rome, Florence is smaller in the city... Basically, if you really go wild, you can walk in one day.

When arranging your time, you can also pay attention to the distance between the attractions in Florence. Except for Piazza Michelangelo, within 2 kilometers of the railway station, the buildings in Florence are very distinctive, with basically yellow walls and red roofs. They are simple and elegant (compared to Rome), and the architectural style is also the steeple in the medieval era.

Instead of the Renaissance style that was radiating everywhere in Rome... After coming out of the Central Railway Station, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was the famous New Lady of the Lady of the Lady of Florence. This church was the first apostolic temple in Florence (it should belong to the Class B religious temple, lower than the Basilica of the Virgin Mary in Rome).

It is also the main church of the Dominican (the main sect of the Catholic beggar church, probably manifested as the Qing Dynasty sect that does not save property) in the city. Well... Since they are all the main churches of the Dominican church in the Qing Dynasty, the gorgeousness of the entire cathedral can be imagined and cannot be compared with those churches in Rome.

In addition to the gold foil decoration that can never be seen, the sculptures in the entire church are much less than those in the Roman church. However! The Cathedral of the New Notre Dame embodies the typical style of the medieval church, such as the particularly sharp oil painting style (the Renaissance was full of breasts and fat buttocks). For example, the glass windows inlaid with stained glass...

These are all gorgeous styles unique to the Middle Ages (compared with the Renaissance that emerged from maritime trade and beyond, it was very poor and poor!) However, because the New Notre Dame Cathedral is connected to the museum, so... this church costs money! 5 euros per ticket! If you are not really interested in early Renaissance art.

It is not recommended to buy tickets, so you can consider going to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, which is not expensive. There are two famous churches in Florence, one is the Cathedral of the New Virgin Mary located at the Central Railway Station. The other is the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary in the city center, which can be reached in a 10-minute walk between the two. It is different from the Cathedral of the New Virgin Mary.

In addition to the main body of the church, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers also includes the Giotto bell tower, the Baptistery, plus the dome and the Underground Museum. The coupon ticket is 10 euros per ticket, and the validity period is 24 hours. Unlike the New Church of Our Lady of Our Lady. The Cathedral of Our Lady of Wife is the main church of Christianity (Christian Orthodox Church, Catholicism, and Anglicanism.

There are churches in charge of some groups in Lutheranism, such as the churches in charge, with bishop seats). The entire church is in a Gothic style and is also one of the five major cathedrals in the world (the five major cathedrals are St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, Milan Cathedral, Seville Cathedral in Spain, and the Basilica of the Virgin Mary of the Virgin Mary of Florence.

The Cathedral of St. Paul, England), is characterized by its largest and most beautiful dome in the world. Even Michelangelo also lamented that he was not as good as the dome. On the dome is painted with Giorgio Vasari's huge fresco "The Trial of the Doom". Visitors can climb to the top through the steps outside to enjoy the scenery of Florence. There is also an underground palace in the church.

Currently renovated as a museum, exhibiting a series of sculptures and clay pots from Florence in ancient Roman times... Next to the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, there is a place covered by plastic cloth. It is the famous Baptistery of St. John. The three bronze doors of the Baptistery are engraved with bronze reliefs of the story of the Old Testament, two of which were made by Giberti.

Michelangelozan is the "Gate of Heaven". The super-high building not far from the Baptistery is the Giotto Clock Tower. Visitors can buy joint tickets from any place and visit these four places at any time within 24 hours. But to be honest, if you don't have too much physical strength, just choose any one of the Giotto Clock Tower and the dome.

Personally, I recommend the dome, although the clouds fall to the bell tower... Giotto's bell tower is divided into 4 floors, and the stairs upwards are getting narrower and narrower. The upper floor only allows one person to pass through, and it is very steep, so if you want to climb the bell tower, please be sure to pay attention to safety! You can see the scenery of the entire Florence and the tourists on the dome of the cathedral not far away...
