/kloc-At the beginning of the 4th century, the dawn of the Renaissance first flashed here. From Giotto and Dante, to Boccaccio and Petrarch, to Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, etc. In the past 300 years, countless literary and artistic masters have been born here. The seeds of capitalism first flashed here. It is still antique, and the whole city is filled with the charm of Renaissance, and it has the reputation of "New Athens in Europe".
Xu Zhimo is probably the first person from China who knows this art capital. He called it Fei Lengcui, which was quite feminine.
Xu Zhimo's A Night in the Green is chilly, as if with a burst of coolness. When you read gently, your mouth is like a piece of ice. In fact, this ancient city, which is riddled with holes in the alley, is covered with a layer of warm colors, red roofs and old yellowing walls. Dante, Raphael and Galileo all dragged their slender shadows in the alley of time.
There is a long queue in front of Uffizi Art Museum all the year round, where Botticelli, Raphael and Titian's works are all electrocuted. Then I quickly gathered my thoughts and turned a corner to explore the College Art Museum.
David looked at Michelangelo. Along the way, vendors filled the ground with replicas of famous works, and street performers pretended to be sleeping angels, waiting for tourists' coins to wake him up. Every weekend night, there will be an open-air concert in front of the city hall square. The "clank" classical guitar and flamenco-style unrestrained dance stirred the night, and the old lady and the little girl watching the scene danced with the music. Not far away, * * * and the merry-go-round in the square are flashing neon, and young couples and children are dreaming a fairy tale here.
Florence is actually very small, centered on Notre Dame White Flower Church. A few alleys diverge, and if you walk east and west at will, you will meet your lost friends at a bridge corner. It's like Dante walking in the ancient bridge and meeting his dream lover Beatrice. It was the most beautiful evening in Florence, and Beatrice stood at the bridge head of the ancient bridge, spotless as a saint, which became the most beautiful love memory of Dante's life.
One evening a thousand years later, I came out of Dante's former residence and walked to the ancient bridge. The sunset glow sprinkled golden light on the Arno River, and the deck of the old bridge was filled with brilliance, and the whole Florence was immersed in an oil painting background.
