Chapter 319 Seeing Rome for the first time! 【Third update】

The Grand Church of Orvieto is also a landmark building here. The architectural style is somewhat similar to that of the Siena Church, a mixture of Roman and Gothic styles, and the same marble strips with striped patterns.Zhang Feng arrived relatively late, the square was empty, and the atmosphere suddenly became more solemn.

After finding a restaurant, Zhang Feng planned to taste the white wine here. The white wine produced in Orvieto is very famous because it is brewed from a mixture of three local grapes and paired with meat plates, attracting countless people. Foodie.The wine is good, but when it comes to the meat plate, the presentation is simply praiseworthy.There are layers of meat jerky of various colors, but looking good doesn’t mean it’s delicious.The raw ham was salty and a little fishy. It is estimated that not many Chinese people are used to eating this kind of stuff. Zhang Feng followed the principle of not wasting food no matter what, so he had a hard time eating this meal.

Orvieto under the night, is isolated from the world and calm, and the silent stone road shows the vicissitudes of life.

Zhang Feng was a little ashamed when he saw the end-to-end car, because he had seen many such scenes along the way. It seems that such a car with end-to-end is not a big deal in Italy, and it can be moved out after two bumps. This is "the so-called car is just a tool".

When he was about to leave the city, Zhang Feng came across a Chinese restaurant again. At first, Zhang Feng never thought that he could eat Chinese food in such a remote place as Orvieto.Although he had just had dinner at Jiaotang, Zhang Feng was still so excited that he jumped in.

One must know that after eating Western food for 8 days, Zhang Feng missed the delicious Chinese food so much at this time, and he was inexplicably excited when he picked up the chopsticks.The name of the restaurant is very special, just a Zhejiang character, and the owner is from Zhejiang.What Zhang Feng ordered were all home-cooked dishes, but they tasted absolutely overwhelming, the taste was so good that it exploded.At the next table, I also met a Chinese family working locally, but I also did not expect that there were compatriots working in such a small ancient city as Orvieto.

Full of food, Zhang Feng finished today's wandering, today's flying, today I am free, and then buried in the night here, wanting to find a good dream.

Zhang Feng did not expect that the dining environment for breakfast the next day was very special. It was actually arranged in the cellar of the farm, and there was a flash of a scene like a vampire in Castlevania.

The hostess was very enthusiastic and told Zhang Feng that all the pastries and jams were made by her handiwork, which is like a fake Homemade.

After breakfast, I went outside to see that the morning fog had completely dissipated, the sun had come out completely, and Orvieto in the distance was completely presented in front of my eyes.

Before leaving, I exchanged some pleasantries with the hostess, and she also gave Zhang Feng a few pieces of handmade aromatherapy soap.

The next stop is Rome, which is also the last stop of Zhang Feng’s trip to Italy.

The last stop in Rome is 122 kilometers, and the feeling of driving all the way to 180 yards is like driving with a rope, and it will arrive in a while.Self-driving is not recommended in the city of Rome, the congested roads and the shortage of parking spaces make public transportation a better choice.Zhang Feng's plan is to check in at the hotel first and then return the car.

The graffiti that can be seen all over the streets of Rome is simply sad and insane, and the folk customs are also the most sturdy among the Italian cities I have been to.

Roadside Beetle, 80s style.Old tram.

Zhang Feng's return location was at Termini train station, so he booked the Internoroma Hotel, which is relatively close to Termini train station.The hotel is located in a residential area and the location is not easy to find.But the advantage is that the place is large, well-equipped, and has a kitchen.

After completing the check-in procedures, Zhang Feng returned the car to Termini Railway Station. The place to return the car was not easy to find. In fact, it was located in a parking lot near the train station. Zhang Feng walked around several times before finding it.

The most terrible thing is that the roads near the train station are all one-way. In order to find the parking lot where the car is returned, Zhang Feng walked back and forth at the same red street light intersection three times.

After returning the car, I bought a two-day ROMA PASS at the convenience store at the train station, which includes one scenic spot for free and priority, and many other discounts. At the same time, it can be used as a bus and subway card, unlimited times.

Coming out of the subway entrance of the Vatican, I met many nuns and priests along the way.

Follow the flow of people straight ahead, pass through the double arches at the end, and you will enter St. Peter's Square.

Zhang Feng arranged for the main attractions around the Vatican on the first day. He made an appointment for the Vatican Museum in the afternoon, and the subway went straight to the topic.The queue was really scary, and Zhang Feng kept thanking himself for making an appointment.

As soon as Zhang Feng entered, he saw the huge obelisk in the center of St. Peter's Square, but later realized that the Vatican Museum was not here, so he had to go around from the other end.Looking at the dense crowd of visitors, Zhang Feng felt trembling when he thought that this point was not yet the peak period.

Zhang Feng walked around the outside of the city wall to see the Vatican Museum.

With a total area of ​​5.5 square meters, the Vatican Museum is one of the earliest museums in the world. It had its prototype as early as the 5th century AD. It has 12 exhibition halls and 5 art galleries, bringing together ancient relics of Greece and Rome and Most of the artistic essence of the Renaissance is priceless.After inquiring about it, it is recommended to rent a Chinese guide for free travel, 7 euros per person, or else I don’t understand what I’m looking at, after all, the difference between culture and clan relationship is too great.

The famous Pine Cone Courtyard in the Vatican Museums.In the center is the work "Broken Earth" by sculptor Arnaldo, completed in 1990.

The shape of the northern end resembles a large alcove, which was completed in 1565 by the architect Ligorio in the style of the Pantheon's dome.

Of course, the Pine Cone Garden is named after this huge bronze pine cone, nearly 4 meters high, which was originally placed near the Pantheon and was only moved here in 1608.

From the Pine Cone Garden, enter the various exhibition halls inside.

It's just that I saw several sculptures, and the penis was broken, which is really insulting to the gentleman!Zhang Feng was very displeased. These guys' hairpins were small in the first place, but they were broken in the end, and they didn't make up for it.

After visiting such a udo museum, Zhang Feng discovered that, in fact, the museum belongs to the type that seeing you is better than hearing a hundred times, and seeing you once is worse than hearing about you a thousand times.The silent thinker in the history books, Genesis, Pericles sculptures, etc. are all authentic here.There are too many photos and materials on the Internet for the collections in the museum. Zhang Feng came here to witness the feelings with his own eyes, feel the atmosphere of those arts with his heart, and strive to gain some insights from them, and then improve his sentiments and integrate them into the food go.

The first famous sculpture is called "Laocoon", which is one of the treasures of the Vatican Museum.Laocoon was a priest of the city of Troy. He objected to the Greeks dragging the wooden horse into the city of Troy. He was sentenced to death by Athena. Two huge pythons strangled Laocoon and his two sons to death.
