Florence 2 - A little feeling with the city of Renaissance

The city I have known for a long time

I have known Florence and the city's logo for a long time, not because of the history or beauty of the city, but because Florence has Fiorentia, one of the seven A-Series sisters.

The purple shirt team is not my favorite team in Italy (I like Juventus more) but I always have a crush on it, especially with Batistuta, who was in front of Fiorentina Stadium. The Fiorentina era has Toldo, Rui Costa, Batistuta also not confessed to know how to know the competitiveness of Serie A then.

  • Florence - The City of Renaissance

But at a young age, I did not know that Florence was one of the richest cities in the world in the Middle Ages, also known as the Renaissance art center. The city is home to many great names, such as Dante and Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci did not say it, but I also doubt that Dante came from this country. Not to stop there, the city also has another statue, the famous statue over the world is the statue of David Michelangelo. To be honest, compared to the technology of the time, I have figured out David as a guy is not so difficult to make, because there are so many hi-tech supportive machines nowadays such as 3D printer machine.

But art is hard to say, because I saw the marble statue in ancient Greece which I love very much, and most of them are all beautiful: D, also look at the statues now only know how boring.

To be honest, I could not know why this statue of David is more prominent, more famous than all other marble statues. But despite the artistic suspicion as I also saw that this is a masterpiece, with amazing detail. The curls, ribs on the calf... are beautifully carved.

As far as I know this statue was carved from a slab of stone lying in the monastery, but Michelangelo reborn it perfectly, turning it into an eternal symbol for the city of Florence. Indeed, Michelangelo deserves to be the Goliath Giant in the arts, and if I were to give him the Recycle Man title for his great contribution to the reduction, recycling and reuse of natural resources.. Do not get here, so you can Google to watch this masterpiece: P.

But it's not the most impressive one for Florence, because there is one more beautiful, more magnificent, at least for me. It is the Florence Duomo, the city's main cathedral. Located in the very center of the city, but not Gothic, Renaissance or Baroque, but a kind of architecture that I do not know anymore, just know that it is beautiful, very beautiful, I think probably the most beautiful of all the churches I have seen.

A very strange beauty! So attractive!

With two main black and white gamuts, with gourmet statues, this church creates a strange, strange and strange beauty. Although beautiful outside so attractive, but inside is normal, because the beautiful decoration was brought to the museum next. This church architecture can be seen in several other churches in Florence, I am not sure if it's the same architect.

Florence is also home to one of the largest art museums in the world, the Uffizi Museum, which, for some reason, is not available to me today

OMG!

  • Uffizi Museum

Say a few reasons, but I only can list here three main reasons: expensive tickets, long queues, and raining. So I ran right into the museum right next to the Uffizi, with a much better price, despite knowing what it was inside. Later, it was Palazzo Vecchio, and it was worth the money. to every cent It is true that in Italy it is nice to be home, it is easy to close the eyes also to be beautiful. Near Uffizi is the Vecchino bridge. This area looks a bit like the old town of Hoi An, along with a series of high fashion shops.

Florence also has many churches, such as the church of Santa Maria Novella, which is used to name the main station of Florence, San Miniato al Monte, a church on a hill overlooking Florence. Today's San Miniato al Monte church is Sunday; the nearby square is offline offline of the Florence clb motor is right. Needless to say, Florence is a lot of motorbikes, because the streets here are quite crowded, more than the old town of Hanoi, to the sidewalk to go tilting lean but not straight straight.

  • Italy and Motorbikes

It is not strange that Italy is so popular with motorbikes. Back to the offline of the other motor Clubss, sure anyone can imagine the biker Harley how the style looks boring. So that day I saw such a Harley one around the circle around, in the middle of a doctor in the car, he dressed in very strict boss style.

Boss Uncle looks on the face, oh, tough quality, sometimes I guess he might be a genuine Italian mafia. The stables of these people are terrible, look at the swallows, parked right in the center of the square. So far there is another offline car association, but the entire station, standing closed

While united boss boss spoiled the gas emissions buster, the trainers of this gas gear speaks in moderation, afraid to say the other boss out the job. Looking at these two associations, it is true that they carry the same motorbike, but they play differently.

  • Italian English Problem

As I have said, Italian English in Florence is extremely bad, and the person I see the best English in the road asking for the way is probably a 70-year-old lady. Moreover, she was from Englang, asking me the way because she was afraid that local people could not tell her.

Italian youth knew only a few sentences. It is because of the situation that tourists are tired of wanting to ask for directions. That day I was sitting in a bench near the station, next to an old lady. Suddenly there is a couple of tourists, see Americans, run to the other one to poke her, pointing at the map and then ask "Where? " Very slowly and roundly clear.

The attitude of asking the way is very much like here, asking as to the odds in the hands that I'm sure I do not want to. She looked at the map and said "Let me see". His wife asked the way, surprised, "Oh, you can speak English? ", Surprisingly surprised attitude, an old lady here speaks English. The old lady smiled and said, "Yes, I am American. " I'm sitting near to laugh with the attitude of this old woman.
