331、You and I are both pedestrians
Therefore, following the principle of convenient transportation, Du Wen booked the hotel in a relatively suburban area so that she would not have to venture into the city, and she would just take the subway and bus.
Then, starting from the hotel, you can experience the style of the world's fashion capital.
The orange and red walls are like gallery, with modern art paintings hanging. The lights in the entire hotel lobby are as bright and dark as those in the gallery. Walking in them, you will even feel the illusion of whether you are here to stay in a hotel or visit a gallery.
After putting my luggage and having something to eat, I immediately took the tram to the city center and took advantage of the noon to visit the famous Milan Cathedral. It was like when I arrived in Pingjing, I had to go to see the palace as classic.
By the way, I also bought a local phone card at the subway station, mainly using traffic.
However, after getting on the road, Jia Huanhuan expressed his doubts about the famous city on the tram: "Is this all the countryside?"
Du Wen shook her head: "This is the main urban area, and it has always maintained a relatively primitive European architectural style. Even if World War I and World War II did not cause much harm to this place."
Wan Changsheng didn't speak, and he ran so far for the first time he went abroad. He heard birds singing in his ears, so he was a little cautious.
But as we get closer to the center of the city, the buildings become more and more grand. When we pass through the huge square, we can immediately shock us when we see a huge church building about one hundred meters high.
What shocked Wan Changsheng even more was probably because the huge buildings that were built in five hundred years were filled with sculptures everywhere!
On the huge building made of stone, the exterior walls are so dazzling that they are phobic.
Every column, every arcade, every flower bed at even the corners are filled with exquisite human body statues.
It is also telling biblical stories about religious legends.
Wan Changsheng, who has been painting gods, demons and ghosts in the temple for more than ten years, actually felt very friendly.
There were many pigeons in the square. Du Wen smiled and Raja Huanhuan must feel the feeling of walking through the middle of the pigeons and flying around.
Jia Huanhuan wondered: "What's the matter? Isn't it the same when we chase sparrows in the countryside?"
Du Wen looked at Wan Changsheng helplessly: "Do you understand?"
Wan Changsheng, who did not watch Hong Kong movies, also shook his head: "Are you playing here? I'll go and watch it slowly."
Du Wen smiled at him: "At this time, if you dare to separate from us, you may have a heavy bleeding in your wallet."
Wan Changsheng couldn't wait to take out the bank card in his pocket: "You said you should have a salary at Damei Training School. Are you the president of Damei Society? You can get the money yourself. The password is Huanhuan's birthday."
Du Wen didn't expect that this was the reaction to make a joke. Jia Huanhuan had already jumped up and grabbed the bank card. Du Wen's hand: "Where to go? Where to go? Where to go and get heavy bleeding?"
She really doesn't want to see churches. She has been in Chinese temples for more than ten years and has been annoyed.
Du Wen sighed, made an appointment to call if you have something to do, and then pointed to the square: "The second generation arcade there, to put it bluntly, it is a shopping mall, which has been around for more than a hundred years. All the time-honored Italian brands are inside, just like Wangfujing in Pingjing, such as Prada's century-old store inside."
Wan Changsheng never thought about whether the things in Prada were suitable for such a young girl: "Buy, buy, buy, just be happy, I'll go to see the church."
Du Wen turned to Jia Huanhuan: "Are you talking about this kind of man good?"
Jia Huanhuan laughed: "Has he made money again recently?"
Du Wen knew better than her: "I heard in the group that I seemed to have received a million yuan in the training school dividends, but he received another 200,000 yuan to provide annual bonuses for the Damei Society. In addition, this year's textbook commission has begun again, and he seems to be preparing to train a few people to go out for lectures."
Jia Huanhuan didn't care about the details: "That's good! I specially applied for an international credit card, and I heard that UnionPay cards can also be used?"
Du Wen looked at Wan Changsheng who was rushing to the church again, wondering: "Are he very relieved that we would not have any problems, or is he full of confidence in himself in a foreign country?"
Jia Huanhuan held her: "So I still have to thank you. Fortunately, I can reassure him."
Du Wen still wanted to sigh, and finally her eyes turned: "I'll take you to see a strange place first..."
Jia Huanhuan looked like she was obedient, and she would never dare to leave alone.
And for Wan Changsheng, this kind of solitude is simply a feast.
Dudu is really right. Those who study sculpture and oil painting are better off going to Italy.
Even if the art of sculpture has local traditions in China, the root of Western techniques is still here. At least it is excellent to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge.
In the Milan Cathedral, exquisite sculptures and glass paintings are everywhere. The skinned Saint Bartholomew, Michelangelon alone, is enough to linger forever.
Not to mention that the famous Napoleon coronation ceremony in history is here, and Da Vinci designed the elevator for this building!
There are more than 6,000 sculptures!
According to Du Wen's request, Wan Changsheng, who installed the tour guide app on his mobile phone, felt like he was wandering in the ocean of sculptures.
You can even see some art students holding sketchbooks in front of various sculptures.
Of course, he also practiced like this.
Maybe it is a rare sight to draw a small sketchbook on the size of a palm. People often stop to see Wan Changsheng's writing, and then show a look of admiration without any surprises.
This kind of basic skill is indeed extremely familiar to Wan Changsheng.
Finally, I spent fifteen euros and took the elevator from the back of the church to the rooftop platform. It is known as the largest Gothic church in the world, with the most sculptures and the most spires.
These more than 100 spires can be appreciated on the roof.
On each spire lined up like the gods returning to the position of the gods, there is a huge exquisite statue, as if it has brought Wan Changsheng to the monument of another world.
The central spire of the center, the gilded statue of the Virgin Mary, makes people easily think of worshiping.
This is similar to the golden huge Buddha statue created by Wan Changsheng and Guo Huaisheng and others.
This made him a little envious of the tourists next to him carrying long spears and short cannons. He couldn't see the details clearly because he was far away.
After seeing this, a whole afternoon passed. It was not until Jia Huanhuan urged Wan Changsheng to join for dinner and spent a lot of manuscripts that Wan Changsheng reluctantly walked out of this sculpture paradise.
The two euro ticket was really worth it for him.
As soon as we met, we found that the two girls were empty-handed: "Didn't you say you want to buy something?"
Jia Huanhuan couldn't wait: "We're going to see human bones, so many human bones..."
I also flipped photos for Wan Changsheng.
It was actually densely packed skulls, leg bones and the like, piled up into walls, from the ground to the dome. It looked like a church-like round vault was painted with colorful murals, which contrasted with the gloomy white bones.
Wan Changsheng was simply shocked: "Is this... legal? Every skull was originally a living life, how could it be used for decoration like this?"
Du Wen chuckled: "There are different beliefs and different views on life and death. The Catholic Church believes that death is not an end, but a way to enter the glorious realm. Entering eternal life through death is a transcendent process. After Europeans die, they put their corpses in the church and are closer to God, and they can continue to accept God's grace. In addition, they decorate the bones in the church, which are visited by more believers or people, praying and admiration. In a sense, it is respect for the dead. Therefore, there are many human bones in Europe, which are a large number of bones collected during the war or the Black Death."
Wan Changsheng felt that the sculpture class he had just taken was going to be diluted by this kind of scene.
Jia Huanhuan also offered treasures: "I heard that this church is very functional. Many people can do it after making wishes here. Really, we saw many people commemorating the gratitude and love of fulfilling their wishes in the passage. Hehe, it's the same as the wishes in our temple! So we may have wished... Sister Wen, what wishes did you make?"
Du Wen looked helpless in coaxing the child: "It won't work if you say it."
OK, Wan Changsheng asked about the arrangement: "What to eat next?"
Du Wen spread her hands: "Italian is nothing more than these, pizza, noodles, and paella... Let's go, it's a good Italian restaurant opened by Chinese on the Internet."
Why does this sound a bit weird?
For example, if a foreigner comes to Jiangzhou to open a hotpot restaurant, would anyone think it is authentic and delicious?
However, Du Wen said that only when he went abroad would he know that Chinese people are really hardworking and opened restaurants everywhere. Italians are also famously lazy, but there is also a saying that they are European Chinese.
While chatting, they walked to the restaurant to sit down. Jia Huanhuan said that the two of them had just visited the famous Centennial Shopping Mall. The brands were very complete and the prices were very expensive. So Du Wen said that it would be cheaper to go shopping in the suburbs to buy things another day, so she didn't have to be a sucker in the city.
In the accident with Wan Changsheng, Du Wen was so frugal.
The girl explained: "Although the family is not short of money, it is not the kind that is so rich that it can be big. Cosmetics and skin care products are enough to spend money, and I don't have the habit of buying luxury goods."
Huanhuan warmly supported her: "Sister Wen, you look good in whatever you wear!"
Wan Changsheng finally handed over the right to order food: "Without you, I can't understand anything."
Du Wen smiled and twitched her hair behind her ears, and discussed ordering with Jia Huanhuan in a whisper.
Cold squid, tuna pizza, grilled steak, seafood noodles and meat sauce noodles are definitely needed.
During the time I waited for the meal, I was accustomed to serving a plate of grilled thin ice before eating. It tasted very crispy and was a bit like a cookie snack.
Then there is very cheap white wine.
Du Wen introduced that the quality of Italian wines is very good because of the influence of latitude and Mediterranean climate, the taste is different from that of France and Germany. The key price is the cheapest among the European countries.
Wan Changsheng can also learn to take a sip gracefully by holding a cup and enjoying the two beauties opposite him.
I took out the sketchbook and drew it.
Jia Huanhuan took photos of Du Wen, and Du Wen helped Jia Huanhuan sort out and check the effect of sunscreen, because ultraviolet rays in the sunshine in Italy in summer are also a headache, and beauties must pay special attention.
Chapter completed!
