Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 1713 St. Mary's Thanksgiving Church

The Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is located in the old city of Milan, on the west side of the Sforzesco Castle. The distance between the two is only a few hundred meters, which is close at hand.

This famous church was built in 1460 and expanded by the famous architect Bramante in 1492. It is a complete architectural complex and a famous world cultural heritage.

What makes this church world-famous is that it is one of the typical representatives of Renaissance architecture because of its very well-preserved ancient buildings.

But the main reason is the "Last Supper" painted on the wall of a dining room inside the church, an unparalleled masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci.

In 1495, shortly after the expansion of the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie was completed, Da Vinci accepted the order of the church and began to paint on a wall in the church, which was "The Last Supper".

The birth of this famous fresco opened up a new century in the history of art, and also left the Church of Santa Maria del Grazie in history, becoming a holy place in the minds of countless art lovers.

Almost without exception, anyone who comes to Milan for tourism, as long as time permits, can make an appointment for a viewing seat, will come to this church to visit and admire Da Vinci's masterpiece.

The same goes for Ye Tian and the others. Since they came to Milan, they naturally couldn't miss "The Last Supper".

What's more, this famous mural still hides many secrets. In the past five hundred years, it has been shrouded in thick fog, but no one has been able to see through it and give an accurate explanation.

For Ye Tian, ​​who is a top professional treasure hunter, this is even more attractive, even far surpassing the attraction of this famous mural itself.

Just after 9:30 in the morning, Ye Tian and his convoy arrived at the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and stopped by the side of the road in the square in front of the church.

At this time, the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie was open for viewing, and the square in front was full of people, and it was extremely lively. As far as the eye could see, the square was full of black heads.

At the entrance of the church, there were already two long queues, meandering on the square and going far away, the queues were full of tourists waiting to enter the church.

As the convoy stopped, Cole's voice came from the earphones.

"Steven, the guys who rushed to the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in advance reported that they checked the situation here carefully and found no threat. The scene is safe, and you can rest assured to get out of the car!"

"OK,

Cole"

Ye Tian responded, then stretched out his hand to open the door of the bulletproof SUV, got out of the car with Betty, and stood on the square in front of the Santa Maria del Grazie Church.

As soon as they appeared, they immediately attracted countless attentions. Almost everyone nearby looked at them and whispered in surprise.

"I'm going! Why did this guy, Steven, appear here? Could it be that this guy is going to ransack the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and repeat his crazy behavior at the Canal Antique Fair?"

"Of course it's impossible. Steven, like us, came here to appreciate "The Last Supper". Don't forget, he is also a top expert in antique art appraisal!

And this guy is a well-known god of plague, no matter where he goes, he will almost cause a storm, big or small, we have to be more careful, don't be caught in the same boat."

Amidst the heated discussions, two of Leonardo's subordinates and two staff members of the Santa Maria Grazia Church quickly passed through the crowd in the square and came to Ye Tian.

After standing still, one of the middle-aged men dressed as priests immediately smiled and said:

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, welcome to the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, nice to meet you, I am Camilo, the priest of the Church of Santa Maria del Grazie, and I will be in charge of showing you around"

"Good morning, Mr. Camillo. I'm Steven. It's a pleasure to meet you. It's also a great honor to visit the Church of Santa Maria del Grazie. I've been famous for a long time, and I've wanted to visit for a long time!"

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and shook hands with Camillo.

Next, he introduced Betty and Anderson, and Camillo introduced another church worker.

After everyone got to know each other, Ye Tian immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to the back, pretending to be helpless and said:

"Camilo, let's go inside the church. This is not a place to talk. There are too many people following us, including the police, media reporters, and many protesters!"

Hearing this, Camillo immediately turned his head to look at the swarming crowd and the vehicles that were still approaching one after another, then turned around and said:

"Okay, Mr. Steven, please follow me, and I will take you into the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie"

After finishing speaking, the buddy turned around and led Ye Tian and his party through the crowd in the square to a special passage for church staff to enter and exit.

At the same time that a large number of media reporters rushed to the square in front of the church, Ye Tian and the others had also entered the Church of Santa Maria del Grazie, disappearing from the sight of the people on the square.

This immediately caused a commotion in the square, and many people began to discuss indignantly.

"Why doesn't that guy Steven have to line up? How can he enjoy the privilege of entering the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie without queuing? It's so unfair!"

"Did you see? It was a middle-aged priest who led Steven and those guys into the church, and his attitude was very friendly. Obviously, that bastard Steven did enjoy privileges.

Could it be that he enjoyed this privilege because of the two priceless top artworks he gave to the Vatican before? If explained in this way, it seems to be able to explain it! "

Different from the ordinary tourists in the square, the many media reporters who followed after seeing this scene obviously had more thoughts in their minds.

It seems that the rumors are correct. That guy Steven has a very good relationship with the Vatican. They came to Italy this time, most likely at the invitation of the Vatican.

But why the Vatican invited them to Italy is unknown. Could it be that they have some cooperation plan?

After entering the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, led by Camillo, Ye Tian and the others passed through the central aisle of the church and went straight to the location of "The Last Supper", the famous Venciano restaurant.

As for the other antique works of art displayed in this ancient church, although they are also very good, they just took a cursory look at them and didn't care to appreciate them carefully.

After appreciating "The Last Supper", it is not too late to visit this ancient building and other antique works of art. There is plenty of time.

On the way, Ye Tian didn't forget to turn on the perspective in secret to check the ground, walls on both sides, and other corners of the area he passed, to see if there were any secrets hidden in these places.

This is an ancient church built in the late 15th century. Milan is the northern gateway to the whole of Italy and a battleground for military strategists. Most of the ancient buildings here will have secret passages and dark rooms!

As he expected, he found something in the depths of the church, as well as on the walls on both sides, and it was a surprising discovery.

But it is a pity that the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie will never be sold, and those secrets and treasures hidden in the dark will never belong to him.

Unless he is willing to be a gentleman, steal those valuable antique works of art secretly, and keep those secrets for himself, he doesn't bother to do that kind of thing.

Therefore, he can only look at the ocean and sigh, but he cannot have those secrets and treasures.

While talking, Ye Tian and his group had arrived at the entrance of Vinciano's restaurant, as long as they walked into this restaurant, they would be able to see Da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper".

At this moment, Ye Tian suddenly turned his head and said to the people around him:

"When you go in to visit the "Last Supper", please don't take out your mobile phone or camera to take pictures. This mural has a history of more than 500 years, and the lights of mobile phones and cameras will damage it.

If you want to take a photo with this famous mural as a souvenir, go to the courtyard of the church after the visit, where there is a replica of the original work, you can take a photo there"

"Understood, dear"

Betty smiled and nodded, eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

Everyone else nodded in response, everyone was full of anticipation, hoping to see Da Vinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper" immediately.

Next, Camillo pushed open the iron door in front of the church staff, and led Ye Tian and the others into the Vinciano restaurant.
