Chapter 315 Meet the real statue of David!

In fact, Pisa is the second largest city in Tuscany. Of course, it is most famous because it benefits from the Leaning Tower.So if you want to be famous in this world, you must not take an unusual path, and you can't stand out if you always behave yourself, right?It is really famous, and it can be passed down through the ages.In fact, you will pass by Pisa on the way to Florence, so you might as well spend half an hour to see it.

Because of Galileo's famous experiment, Zhang Feng knew about the Leaning Tower of Pisa when he was very young.Later, Zhang Feng thought that pizza was also derived from pizza, but later he realized that pizza and pizza are two different things, and the real hometown of pizza is Naples.

The Leaning Tower is actually a bell tower, but it is just an appendage of Jiaotang, but it has become famous for a while, and now it is far more famous than Jiaotang.In fact, the second feature film is called Miracle Square, and there are four major buildings on the square.They are the Cathedral of Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa (bell tower), the Baptistery of San Giovanni, and the Cemetery of Pisa.The ancient city walls and gates still remain around the square.

Zhang Feng discovered that tourists from all over the world who come to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, regardless of gender and race, will actively support the Leaning Tower and invite people to take pictures as witnesses.Seeing all kinds of wonderful shapes, the world is really one, Zhang Feng couldn't help smiling and shaking his head, because he met several domestic fans, but he asked Zhang Feng to help take pictures, and took group photos, rubbing Zhang Feng's hard , Zhang Feng made it so that he could only slip away in the end.

Strolling around, Zhang Feng entered Florence, and across the Arno River was the old district of Florence, and he saw the world-famous Ponte Vecchio in the distance.

Florence's reputation is not known to be so great, it is not inferior to Milan and Rome at all.This is not only the birthplace of opera, but also the capital of literature and art and the center of European culture. In fact, Italy is not the birthplace of European civilization. This sense of declining aristocracy seems a bit familiar.

Florence is indeed beautiful, and even Xu Zhimo is overwhelmed by the charm of emerald.The disadvantage, Zhang Feng thinks, is that there are too many tourists, so for scenic spots like the Holy Mother of God, Zhang Feng thinks it is more reliable to come early in the morning when there are few people.

The ZTL in Florence is the most against the sky. Almost the entire central city area is ZTL, so the handsome two-wheeled style is also a unique scenery here.

Not all motorcycles are so handsome, some are not as good as ordinary motorcycles.

Florence under the bright sun is as poetic and picturesque as the emeralds described by Xu Zhimo. The Renaissance has left too many imprints here.

In addition to the profound artistic heritage, many ancient buildings from the Renaissance period are also constantly exuding charm.

Under the ancient wall, it is simple and quiet, long and cordial.

Zhang Feng had a simple lunch, cappuccino and muffins.

After dinner, Zhang Feng came to the Accademia Gallery of Florence, which is known as the most awesome art academy in the world! ! !

This is the first art school in the world. It was founded in the [-]th century. It was formerly known as the Academy of Diano and was later renamed the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in the [-]th century. The dean of the school is Vasari and the honorary dean is Michelangelo. , the person in charge was Cosimo Medici.

Because of the existence of David's original work, the Academy Art Museum has a lot of tourists. Zhang Feng didn't make an appointment, so he had to wait in line for more than an hour before entering.

Looking at the queuing at the gate, Zhang Feng checked afterwards. Although there will be a "queue jumping fee" of 4 euros for the appointment, it is very worthwhile compared to the precious travel time. This time he is considered a loss.

As soon as you enter the museum, you can see a wonderful three-person group Moluanwu, which is "The Rape of the Sabine Women". Be careful not to force masturbation.

The sculpture was created by the Flemish painter Giambologna. The most unique sculpture was carved from a flawed piece of white marble, which was the largest piece of marble shipped to Florence.But this is a replica, the real thing is in Piazza della Signoria, and visiting is completely free.

Located in the middle of the hall is the Super Star - "David", known as the most handsome man.This is the real thing, the one in the square outside is a replica.Created in the early 16th century, the statue is 2.5 meters high and the base is 5.5 meters high. It is carved from a single block of marble and weighs 5.5 tons.It is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture master Michelangelo, and is regarded as one of the best male body statues in the history of Western art.Students who love Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles must be familiar with Michelangelo.

When David was making it, he deliberately enlarged the proportions of the head slightly so that people would get the correct visual effect when looking up.Under the explanation of David's posture, the left hand holds the sling, and the right hand droops close to the outside of the thigh, with slightly stretched muscles, showing the posture of David fighting Goliath.In fact, when I first saw it, I thought it was a towel ready to be rubbed on the back. Oh, my talent is really limited...

The blood vessels on the arm and the texture of the skin can be clearly seen in the details. Except for a few parts that are not as huge as in the small movie, the whole is still very shocking. I have to admire Michelangelo's skills.David has lived in the Academy Art Museum for more than a century and has not been out. It is said that cracks have been found on his feet in recent years, and there may even be a possibility of collapse in the future.

Zhang Feng went around the back of the statue, except for David's tight and raised pp, he could understand that posture when he saw the sling belt stretched behind his back.

As a man who is a beginner in art and not yet a master, Zhang Feng felt that a group photo is the best way to express himself, so he took a selfie.

Italian police outside the academy gallery, toad mirror and beret.

After coming out of the Academy Art Museum, I originally planned to go to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Hundred Flowers, but there were too many tourists in the afternoon. Zhang Feng didn’t like to look at the scenery when there were many people, so he had to visit the outside first, and had to go early tomorrow to avoid the mainstream. crowd.

The front side is crowded with people, but the side is unexpectedly clean.

Walked casually to the Republic Square.This is not a special attraction, but it was originally the square of the ancient Roman town, which later became the old Jewish quarter of the city, and the remains of the Jewish quarter can still be seen on the square.

The ancient carousel on the square under the backlight is actually quite dreamy.

It's food time. Venchi is the king of Italian chocolate brands and has been passed down for more than 130 years. There are one or two branches in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, but how can the experience be the same as eating it in Italy?
There is also the Gelato that hits the screen, and Zhang Feng eats it. .ah. .ah.Happy to die.

Three balls cost 4 euros, which is an advantage compared to 45 yuan in China.

It has a smooth taste that beats Haagen-Dazs on several streets.

Holding a Venchi in hand and strolling through the emerald green, the beauty is so beautiful, the steps are much easier, and I don’t feel tired after walking for so long.

On the street, street artists can be seen everywhere, the most special one is to paint directly on the ground.

There is also Adele at the roadside stand, which is also very pleasing to the ear, making people's cells move involuntarily.
