Day 1
2015-07-04
If you want to talk about the cause of this trip, you have to start from last summer. It was a hot afternoon on the weekend. I looked at all kinds of postcards placed at home and thought, have you ever wanted to go to so many places since you were a child? The answer is No. Most of them are arranged by others or on their own. When I think of this, I feel sorry. But why don't you look at the places that have stirred up echoes in your heart? I can't answer for a moment. Later, I came across a book in the bookshelf. It was a popular science book I bought in high school. It was called Pompeii the glory buried underneath. In this book, I learned about an ancient city buried because of the volcanic eruption, which dramatically preserved the original life of ancient Rome. After reading it, I kept imagining the scenery there. Yes, Pompeii! I want to see it there.
After Naples became the first choice, Rome and Florence, who had been in a hurry last year, joined the plan. I, an ancient man, will go back to Rome. The ticket was bought very quickly, but this year, I saw that there was a discount, so I changed it quickly, one week ahead of schedule. After that, Italy was put aside because of its busy spring festival trip to New Zealand. It wasn't until March this year that I started to travel, buy tickets and book tickets. During this period, the Italian visa center in Chongqing opened, Chongqing Rome direct flight, it's a lot of good news------------------------------------------------- In view of the developed railway system in Europe, it is most appropriate to travel between cities by train. Trenitalia is the first choice. Booking online in advance can get a good discount (sometimes close to 30%). Well, it's on this website: http://www.trenitalia.com/ In addition to train tickets, tickets for popular scenic spots also need to be reserved in advance for people traveling in peak season. Booking in advance can save you time waiting in line to buy tickets, but you still have to wait in line to enter the museum. Can you imagine standing in line for 4 hours at 38 degrees to see the cruel torture of "David" at the academy art museum? Before the strategy is written in the major official website can be scheduled, the reality is that the official website is difficult to squeeze in. However, it's easy to do it on this website (www.italityckets. Com). This matter I will be in the back regardless of repeated, important things said three times! After everything is done, the rest is to work at ease and wait for the holiday!
The waiting before departure is a torment, especially in the afternoon of the last day. Counting time to six o'clock, pretending to be serious will be the index finger on the punch, and then, gorgeous turned out, holiday I come! The plane that was supposed to be at 1 a.m. was changed to 2 a.m. It's not the delay, it's the future. It was fed three times, transited in Doha, the Mediterranean appeared in front of us, and then crossed the narrow Apennine Peninsula, and Rome was in front of us--------------------------------------------------- Rome's Fiumicino airport is 26 kilometers away from the city. You can choose taxis and trains to go to the city. The price of taxis is 48 euro, and the price of trains is 14 euro (to Rome central railway station) Roma Termini）。 You can choose the most economical way according to the number of tourists. Of course, the one who is afraid of traffic jam is the train---------------------------------------------------- It was a very smooth journey, and in two hours we were on the train to Florence. There are many people in the railway station who are willing to help tourists. As long as they find someone confused, they will take the initiative to help. Of course, they have to charge. They feel that their psychological price is from 2 euro.

Roar, come back. Beautiful Tuscany yellow all over your eyes! After leaving the railway station, we took a taxi to the hotel. As the train ticket was late, we specially informed the hotel that we would arrive later than the scheduled time. Now everything is going well, the train ticket has been changed ahead of time. When I got off the train, I found that it was a hotel and an apartment that I ordered! What's the problem, boss? But our luck is really good, when we are at a loss, the boss came down from upstairs, the first sentence is: aren't you 8 pm? In this way, we successfully checked in! The situation of the apartment will be described in detail later. We packed our bags (it's actually make-up) and set off. At 6 p.m. in Florence, the summer sun in Italy has begun to dissipate, and the temperature is just right. We quickly mixed into the tourists and lingered in the winding streets of Florence.
What a beautiful postcard, but I didn't buy one!
Ice cream for the occasion.
The rest of the day was bathed in the sunshine of Tuscany. The warm sunshine and pleasant colorful make more than ten hours of journey disappear. There is no definite destination. I take them to walk in the unknown streets, such as vicho palace, Republic Square, bajero Art Museum. The famous buildings constantly appear in front of us. We come to the river and then go to the other side of the city to have ice cream. Everyone's expression is happy. It's good to be back here!
Venus, Venus!
This is the one I live in. The pictures are downloaded from the Internet.
This apartment is on booking. It's easy to find the location of the apartment. It's at the back door of uffiz Art Museum, next to the downhill road on the right of Vicchio palace. It's only five minutes away. It is an old building built in the 12th century. It looks old, but the interior is simple and elegant. Our reservation is a single room, with an area of about 35 square meters. It has an independent bathroom, an open kitchen and a beautiful ceiling on the top of the bedroom. The boss is local and warm-hearted. After checking in, I gave a detailed introduction to the surrounding environment, including scenic spots and supermarkets, as well as those delicious restaurants that can be discounted by quoting his family name.
Day 2
2015-07-05
In summer, the visiting time here can last until midnight (Friday to Wednesday), and the tower is open until 8:30 p.m., which should just be able to see the sunset. Tickets are 10 euro per person, and the discount price is 8 euro. You can also buy Firenze Card (similar to Rome) Pass) to enter.
There is a bird on the head, happy!
Well, I made a mistake early that day. The original plan was to go to the uffiz Art Museum, but the ticket was reserved on the 7th. I forgot this and took everyone to the art museum. I didn't find it until the staff reminded me. Fortunately, the Vicchio palace is behind us. Before the completion of the Biti palace, it was the residence and town hall of the Medici family, and "viccio" actually meant "old" (why did no one call him "the Forbidden City").
As soon as you walk out of the apartment, you can see the clock tower of viccio palace.
Atrium with bronze statue of "angel and dolphin"
500 people parliament Hall
Golden checkered ceiling
The building, which still has administrative functions today, was built about 700 years ago. It looks like a castle rather than a royal palace because of its rough cut boulders, top buttresses and towering towers. Through the atrium with the bronze statue of "angel and dolphin", on the right hand side is the staircase, which leads to the main room of the building, the hall of five hundred people. It is decorated with various sculptures and paintings, including Michelangelo's "brute force" and "victory". On the next floor are a series of private rooms with exquisite murals and ceilings. On the top floor are two rooms with golden ceilings, the areno Toledo apartment and the auditorium. The blue ceiling and the golden frescoes in the two rooms make the rooms shine at any time, and the dome of the Cathedral of Notre Dame can be seen in the apartment of areno Toledo. Through this room, you will see a cute stone lion at the entrance of a staircase. From there, you can go up to the clock tower above.

It's not easy to have a panoramic view of Florence. I've learned the power of these stairs in the Giotto Bell Tower last year, but this year there is a challenge of "intense heat". Before I came here, I was still comforting my friends. I said that the temperature in Europe was more than 30 degrees, but I felt that the temperature was not so high. There was a lot of crackling. As a result, I was stupid when I got off the plane. The temperature of climbing the tower today is 38 degrees. It's really 38 degrees! Up to the top of the bell tower, it's out of shape. The little brother who was guarding the tower hailed me to sit down in the shade, and began to make complaints about the weather to me. He said that Europe was not normal this year what Chester had 40 degrees. I wanted to tell him that Chongqing has 40 degrees every year to scare him. Later, he said "it's" tactfully "Life." and all the problems come back. Yeah, life, isn't it? Have a good look at the scenery. I want to come back to Florence just to have a good look at Baihua cathedral? Originally, so many misunderstandings were resolved by the indescribable beauty of the dome. She stood so straight in front of her eyes and looked at her quietly, but she couldn't see enough. From time to time came the chirp of the swallow, I can't tell how long I haven't seen it, but also a little excited. They take advantage of the brief cool in the early morning, flying out from under the eaves in search of insects, black shadow again and again in front of us. Pigeons are much more lazy, and they are still combing their feathers in the shade. They are not in a hurry to eat. After a while, the square will be full of tourists. If there are tourists, there will be bread.

The adult ticket price is 6 euro and the discount price is 4 euro. It is open from 9:30 to 17:00 from Monday to Saturday and from 14:00 to 17:00 on Sunday
It's almost 12 o'clock when I came out of Vicchio palace. I took them to St. Cross Square to have lunch at the restaurant I visited last year and to see St. Cross Church. The business of the restaurant is really good. It's full of people inside and outside. It's hard to find a seat and wait for the waiter to order. The taste of the food is naturally unspeakable, but there are so many noisy people that we come out after eating without sitting much. Go out and turn left is the church, only today is Sunday, it will open at two o'clock in the afternoon. Finally, we decided to go back for a nap and come back later.

The hall of the church
It's 3 p.m. when we go back to the Church of the Holy Cross. It's getting hotter and hotter. Around the statue of Dante in the north corner of the church, you can see the line of people. The only impression of Dante before was that he wrote the divine comedy. During this trip, I found that in many murals, we can see the eagle's hook nose in red. Most of the time, they are with Plato, Socrates, Aristotle and Homer. This is enough to show his importance. I'm curious, but I've learned something about this person who didn't care much before“ The end of the feudal middle ages and the beginning of the modern capitalist era are marked by a great man, the Italian Dante, who is the last poet in the middle ages and the first poet in the new era. Good praise! That's what Engels said. Tagore said: "a poet does not create his own life in the way of creating poetry. His life is not poetry." It means that the poet expresses his ambition in poetry, which contains his thoughts on politics, law and ethics, especially after he lost the political struggle in Florence. Of course, as the founder of Modern Italian, this is also remembered by Italians. In this way, Dante is really very important, but I still think he has a bad face and some dark and obscure parts in his heart. However, this is the final conclusion of the coffin. It's useless to just look at the sculptures and portraits. Go in and have a look at the coffin!

I'm fascinated by the fact that churches are really places where people can be quiet from the inside out. The church is especially cool in this weather because of its spacious and towering hall. The three main halls in the church are divided by octagonal columns, on which large-span double edge spire arches rise. On the walls corresponding to the columns are the tombs of great men. The most famous of them are Galileo, Michelangelo and Dante. The top of the hall is made up of a series of beautiful wooden ceilings, extending from the gate to the cross area in the rear. In the end, people's attention will fall on the magio chapel here. It's surrounded by three huge painted glasses made in the 14th century. Below it is a spectacular marble altar and a glittering print. In the middle of it is a "crucifixion" made by Giotto studio. In addition to the majio chapel, there are several other chapels in the cross area, and the layout is basically similar. Coming out from the south side of the cross, around the large courtyard, are the patch chapel and the museum. The designer of the church is brunellesky. His greatest work is the dome of Notre Dame. This miniature work also has perfect proportion and exquisite scale, together with the twelve apostle clay carvings made by Luca della robia, making it one of the great masterpieces of Renaissance architecture.
On the left is holy cross Cathedral, in the middle is patch chapel, and on the right is canteen.

There are three kinds of tickets, 8.5,7,11.5 euro. It's a combination of different museums in Biti palace and Boboli garden. It's free this time, so I don't know how to make it.

POPOLI garden seen in the palace
The first day of the trip was full of energy. After visiting the Church of the Holy Cross at 4:00, we arrived at the Pitty Palace at 4:30. The best reward for such a visit is free of charge. The conductor even said "free" twice before I believed that I was worried about the money! The PITI palace was built in 1487 to replace the Vicchio palace as the new residence of the Medici family. Its 205 meter long rough stone facade is everyone's first impression of him. The interior of the palace is almost the same as that of other royal houses in Europe. The famous palladina Gallery has a collection of paintings by many masters, and it is here that Raphael's masterpieces were accidentally found. Because I didn't plan to come here before, I didn't know much about it. When I suddenly saw the virgin in the chair, my excitement was hard to hide. Only Raphael can capture the loving and tender eyes of the Virgin Mary, which means that he is no longer in the pursuit of beautiful, happy and perfect Saint image, but more in shaping the spiritual temperament and image of mother and lover.

After visiting the costume Exhibition on the third floor, we went into the POPOLI garden behind the palace. This is the most difficult time of the day, feet have begun to sour, the power of the sun is not seen. Everyone's heart is anxious, has not sat down to see the scenery of the mood. POPOLI garden was built in the mid-16th century. It is a typical Tuscan Renaissance Garden. But it doesn't matter to us anymore. At the top of the hill behind the garden, there is a viewing castle. After thinking about the castle and the garden, we decided to go there and have a panoramic view of Florence. The plane of the castle is not perfect in the shape of a star, and there are some human sculptures in the bare dam on the top. The castle and garden close at 7 o'clock. We have to go back to the gate of the palace to pick up our bags before that. Time is short and the heat is unbearable, so I can't stop to look. I just go to the city wall to take a picture, and then quickly hide in the shade of trees. When we got to the gate, everyone collapsed, hiding in the shade of the building, greedily blowing the cool wind. Finding a place nearby for dinner is the most important thing at the moment.
Out of the palace
St. Trinity bridge, built in the middle of the 16th century, is the best place to watch the old bridge and the sunset of Arnold river. The bridge was bombed by the German army in 1944 and rebuilt in the 1950s.
We had dinner at the old bridge, and the weather began to get less annoying. We are now at the Holy Trinity bridge. The heat of the day dissipates as the sun goes down. The stone fence is still a little hot and can barely lean on it. People gathered in groups at the bridge, cars, motorcycles, alert in the bridge to dodge pedestrians. Those who came first occupied the better positions, such as the large platforms outside the piers. There is a huge triangular platform outside each pier of the bridge, which should be designed to facilitate water flow. Those brave teenagers occupy the four platforms on both sides of the bridge. They sit on them, feet swing out of the platform, or cross legged, eating pizza and drinking beer. More people just lean on the stone railings and wait for the sunset. In fact, the setting sun is just a matter of a moment. After waiting so long, it goes down in the blink of an eye. We've been walking so long, it's time to end today. Jump off the stone hurdle with residual temperature and walk on the way home.
The pavilion next to the Vicchio palace is full of exquisite sculptures. During the four nights in Florence, I have been used to sitting here before I go home, enjoying the comfort of tourists, orchestra and air.
When you see the clock tower of Vicchio palace, you know you're going home. Today, on the small platform in front of Vicchio palace, there is an orchestra performing. It should be one of the summer music seasons of local social groups. Musicians have long been surrounded by tourists. Out of curiosity, we found a vacancy in the opposite mercenary pavilion to sit down. Daytime fatigue should be down to the other side of the mountain with the sun. Now we feel comfortable. Listen to the symphony and go back. Anyway, it's not far from home. Listening to music here has a relaxed atmosphere. We don't have to be so formal. We are all shorts and slippers; The air is not as easy to make people sleepy as it is in a concert hall. On the contrary, it is hot and dry, and the faster it cools after a day; The surrounding area is no longer an unchanging sound-absorbing board, but a vivid sculpture. As for the performer, of course, he is not so professional. We don't care about minor flaws. After all, some of them are not serious, accurate and serious; It's just cozy.
That wooden door is the gate of our apartment
Day 3
2015-07-06
From the Piazza San Marco in downtown Florence, there is a direct bus (No.7) to fiyessole. There will be a conductor selling tickets at the station, 1.2 euro per person. Remember to punch in when you get on the bus. If you don't punch in when you buy a ticket, it will be regarded as ticket evasion and the punishment will be severe. You don't know which station the ticket collector will get on from on the way------------------------------ Tickets for the archaeological area are 10 euro.
Today's destination is to fiyessole, 8 kilometers from Florence. In this trip, the next day of each stop, I arranged a relatively relaxed outing. Fiessole is the first stop. Today, the local elite of fiessole and visitors from Florence share the charming rural landscape of Tuscany. Of course, the first people who came here were the Etruscans, who built the original towns in this mountainous area. It was not until the third century BC that the arrival of the Romans made it a typical Roman town. The first stop we are going to visit today is the archaeological site of Rome in the center of the city of fiexole. The archaeological area is just opposite to the bus stop (where you get off) in fiessole square. The area of the archaeological area is small, and it's easy to walk around. The remains are roughly divided into three areas: temple, theater and bathroom. Next to the entrance to the archaeological area is a small museum with exhibits from the Bronze Age to the Roman period.

The steps in front of the temple, it looks like the temple should be Greek style.
When we came out of the archaeological area, it was still early. Instead of rushing to San Francisco street, we chose to go in the opposite direction to the town. A back street lane is full of temporary shops. It feels like a fair, but it's less than 12 o'clock, and all the shops are sleeping behind the counter. The town was smaller than we expected, and it didn't take long to circle back to the square. It's noon now. It's the hottest time of the day. Originally, we planned to stay here until the afternoon and then go back. It seems that we can't, so we decided to go to San Francisco street now and go back to Florence for lunch. San Francisco street is on the left side of the bus stop. It's a small path. It's very steep from the beginning. Even people like us who climb mountains every day find it a little difficult to walk. Fortunately, the scenery of the terminal platform is beautiful. Here you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Florence more comprehensively. Although it's not the kind of landscape painting with gentle undulating grass slopes and a few yellow cottages, it's a pure Tuscan ribbon.
See, fayessole is so small.
Visiting the interior of the church is free. But queuing is inevitable. People who come here need to know where each team leads. The line at the west main entrance goes into the church. If the line is too long, it will turn to the north. The northern line is up to the dome, and the southern line is up to the bell tower. Tickets are needed for both places. The 10 euro coupons include the dome, the bell tower, the basement and the chapel. 24 hours.
This day's nap is a bit overdone. We didn't get up until 4 o'clock. This is really an embarrassing time. I don't know what to do next. Barely out of the door, then go to Notre Dame hundred flowers Cathedral, just stroll over there, so that I can have a good look at her. Notre Dame hundred flowers Cathedral, built in the 13th-15th century, has a beautiful green, white and red marble veneer and a golden octagonal dome designed by brunellesky. There is no need to repeat the significance of this beautiful dome in the history of architecture. I just want to say that I can't agree more with Michelangelo's praise for her（ Finally, as an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, I want to ask why only one side of the octagonal dome is covered with marble? I haven't got the answer yet.
The facade of the church
Giotto bell tower
Carefully comparing the front and the side, only here is the facade of the string of small arches completed. Why?
The 10 euro joint ticket can visit the basilica's underground palace, dome, bell tower, Chapel and Cathedral Museum within 24 hours. Opening hours of Chapel: 11:15-18:30 from Monday to Saturday, 8:30-11:30 from Sunday
The golden mosaic dome of St. Giovanni's Chapel is as good as his "gate to heaven". When we really didn't know where to go, we chose St. Giovanni chapel, which was the right decision. St. Giovanni chapel is an octagonal Romanesque building built in the 11th century. It is famous for its gold-plated relief of the East Gate (the gate of heaven). In recent years, it has been covered by white construction barriers, and the facade is being cleaned inside. The ticket office of the chapel is in the alley opposite the north gate. There are several self-service ticket machines in front of the hall, where we bought our tickets. However, a small episode happened in the middle. Anxious to keep my friends from waiting, I mistakenly thought that the invoice printed out first was the ticket. When I found the mistake, I had to helplessly seek the staff. He took me back to the self-service machine and took out only one ticket from the ticket slot. It was obvious that someone took the others. I thought I could only pay for my own stupidity. Who knows, after the staff raised their heads and said a few words to the people on the balcony, they told me to wait a moment. After a while, the person who spoke to him just now came down, entered the number on my invoice in the machine, and reprinted the poor tickets! Oh, I didn't expect the result to be like this. What can I say except thank you? This kind of service attitude really makes people feel great!
Just before we entered the door, we were still chatting about what had just happened. Suddenly, we felt that a bunch of golden light was falling from above. Let's look up together and let's exclaim. What appears in front of us is an octagonal dome. The contents of the pictures are biblical story paintings and portraits of the twelve apostles. However, it is amazing that its background is inlaid with gold mosaics. Sunlight shines through the octagonal skylight on the roof, and the light refracts between the gold mosaics, which is like covering the whole hall with a layer of warm golden velvet. Everyone can't help but stop talking, gaping at everything in front of him, like a miracle. It's a religious propaganda. Well done!
A large square on the hill opposite the Arnold river is named after a group of Michelangelo's sculptures, including David's, with bronze molds. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view of Florence. Tourists who want to see the sunset here need to come early and take a good seat.
Convinced by the gold mosaic, a group of people decided to go back to St. Cross Square for dinner or look for the one at noon that day. I would like to go home and fix it after dinner today. As a result, I will take them far away and walk home. In the middle, the sharp eyed people saw the people gathered in the Michelangelo Square across the river and said that we are going to watch the sunset, OK, let's go. After crossing the river, it takes about 20 minutes to crawl along the winding road at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the setting sun is about to begin, and the outside of the square is already full of people. Everyone is waiting for the sun to go down. This is the only place in Florence where you can see the Arnold River and the old bridge. The river is red and the sunset is a little more soft. What I didn't expect was that people would applaud him here when the sun was completely down, just like in Santorini. I feel like I'm back to that beautiful island in an instant. I don't know why I'm so excited. It's 9:00 p.m. when the sun sets completely. It's really time to wash and sleep when you walk home slowly.
Day 4
2015-07-07
The ticket price is 6.5 euro and the discount price is 3.25 euro. Open every Tuesday - Sunday from 8:15 to 18:05. If you can't book tickets on the official website, you can do it at www.italiytickets.com It's reserved above.
Uffez Gallery, Italy's most famous gallery. This building was built in the middle of the 16th century. It was originally used as a government office building, which is the origin of his name. It's time for us to visit today. Our reservation is at 9:15 in the morning. We need to change the official ticket at gate 3, and then go back to the main entrance. Due to the early booking, we almost entered the art museum without queuing up. The art works here cover almost the whole history of Western art, from Greek sculpture to the Venetian School of painting in the 18th century. Among them, the most famous is Renaissance art. The portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino in the eighth exhibition room adopts the rare realistic realization method at that time, but the color of the Duchess and Duchess is bloodless, like a corpse. Most of the visitors crowded into the exhibition rooms 10-14, which are called "Botticelli exhibition room", displaying a series of Botticelli's paintings, the most famous of which are the birth of Venus and spring. Venus's rich body and the thin clothes of the three beauties are fascinating“ Dolce & Gabbana "the flower fairies are inspired by this. Here are Botticelli's other works, such as "the Herald" and "the coming of the three doctors.". The next 15 studios have Leonardo da Vinci's paintings on the same theme.

Tribuna is one of the most distinctive exhibition rooms in the museum. It was originally used as the "treasure house" of the Duke of Francisco. The walls of this octagonal room are crimson, and the windows and dome are decorated with seashells, similar to mother of pearl in lacquerware. In front of this exhibition room is the second corridor, where you can overlook the scenery around the Arnold River and the old bridge. The panoramic portrait of the ceiling in the corridor is a great example of the "tired and diligent studio" in the Forbidden City. The next few exhibition rooms mainly focus on sculpture. In the 35th exhibition room, you can see Michelangelo's Doni circle, with the theme of Saint family characters. Michelangelo was born as a sculptor just by looking at the robust virgin. At the end of the corridor, the third floor of the gallery ends with a copy of Laocoon. Before going downstairs, you will pass the coffee shop on the top floor of the mercenary Pavilion. You can have a rest here, because there are still a whole floor of art products waiting for you to enjoy.

When we went there, a large part of the exhibition room downstairs was not open. It was a big surprise to see Rafael here. Just when a friend with Caravaggio make complaints about a fat Bacchus, a handsome teenager appeared before Rafael. It turns out that this self portrait is hidden here. It seems that the strategy is not meticulous and can bring you all kinds of surprises. In addition to self portraits, there are also portraits created for princes and popes, and the famous "Lady of the golden finch". After seeing this, the art gallery is finished. It took about two and a half hours.

The 10 euro joint ticket can visit the basilica's underground palace, dome, bell tower, Chapel and Cathedral Museum within 24 hours.
A long line
In our spare time at noon, we went to the interior of Notre Dame. Compared with its gorgeous appearance, the interior of the cathedral is much simpler. It is said that many treasures have been sent to the Opera House Museum of the cathedral. The museum is under repair and will not open until the end of this year. The entrance to the Basilica is on the right side of the hall, where you can clearly see the history of the church area, including the dome designer_—— Brunellesky's tomb, the remains of the foundation of the church's predecessor, rotino Cathedral, and the mosaic of the earlier Roman period. The whole remains include four periods of the cathedral area.

The tickets are open from 8:15 to 18:50 from Tuesday to Thursday, with 6.5 Euro tickets and 3.25 Euro half price tickets.
If you want to know how famous "David" is, you must come to the Art Museum of the college. Due to the wrong estimation of the weather, I chose 1:30 p.m. as the booking time. It was a very wrong decision. After a simple meal at McDonald's, a group of tired people continued to walk to the academy art gallery. There is no special facade in the art museum. It looks like there is no difference with the surrounding dwellings. Of course, it's easy to tell whether you are in the art museum or not. Just look at the queue. Because it is the peak tourist season, it is full of people every day. When we arrived, the small square in the south of the art museum was already full of people, let alone the alley in front of the door. In order to find out the situation, I went to ask the staff. The two teams in front of the museum are ticket buyers (from north to South) and visitors (from south to North). Those who book tickets first go to gate 61 opposite the art museum to change tickets, and then go to line up to enter the museum. The advantage of booking in advance is obvious and easy to see, which can save you at least 2 hours of exposure in the hot sun. It's no exaggeration to say that in order to control the flow of people, the art museum will enter the museum in batches. How many people will enter the museum, and how many tickets will be sold at the ticket booth. So, the whole ticket sales team is as slow as the team entering the museum. After asking the foreigners in front of me, it has taken them more than three hours to buy tickets and enter the museum!

After a few days of walking and sun exposure, I had to say that I was very depressed before entering the museum. In addition, I imagined that the "David" I was going to see was a sculpture with a very high reproduction rate. I thought it was not worth it, and there were so many people. However, masterpieces are masterpieces. The life given to stones by artists is something that those reproductions do not have, and the transcendent appeal must be conveyed by the original. At the end of the corridor, under the soft light, David searched for the giant with his resolute eyes. His right hand seemed relaxed, but his muscles were tense with excitement, ready to fight at any time. His fearlessness and self-confidence, accompanied by the atmosphere of youth, permeated the hall. Everyone was moved by it and gazed at him like looking up at a king. In front of the hall, there are several other unfinished sculptures of Michelangelo. The degree of completion of these sculptures is different. Some parts have been polished, while others still have traces of original stones. As if every sculpture of the human body are struggling, trying to break free from the shackles of their own stones. With these natural and artificial contrasts, sculpture seems to be endowed with a new meaning. Instead of Michelangelo's usual precise expression of human body structure, it is more in line with the era they were created - the Renaissance. People in Europe began to abandon the medieval shackles and usher in the recovery of humanistic spirit. In addition to Michelangelo's sculptures, the museum also has a large collection of altars and oil paintings. People who are not tired of classical paintings can enjoy them after seeing the uffiz Museum.
I'm leaving before I've played enough. Can I stay a few more days?
Later that afternoon, we went to the supermarket and bought some fast food to cook. Originally said that I would not go out tonight, but I still took advantage of the opportunity to throw rubbish and walked to the river. Just in time for the sunset, so I advised myself to take a good look at the sunset. I was busy taking photos a few days ago. When I put down the camera, I have a chance to notice the father and son fishing under the bridge, black xiaopang with Gongfang on, twisting his body wantonly, and Chao grandma with sapphire blue hair. The sunset accompanied by applause, happy life continues to melodious. The next morning, we set out for Rome.
