Italy 10 clauses 4: Milan

Last night was already planned today's trip is to visit the Milan Cathedral, not only promised old complement to taking photographs of her, do not be dismayed to stay in Milan.

"Milan Cathedral is the symbol of Milan, the Gothic architectural form, consent from 1386 years to the full completion of the last 500 years.

Church depth 150 m, width 92 m, entirely built of white marble, is a masterpiece of early medieval architecture. The main church can accommodate up to 3 million people in the Church, there are five gates, each door above 2 — three arches box, each box has a picture of relief, the coherence is the Bible story. The Hall has four huge cylindrical, with the remaining 62 root smaller cylindrical supports 1.4 tons of arched roof. Ceiling inside holds a legend is Jesus is nailed to the cross of nails, Christians are to put it down and worship the three days. ”

This is the travel book on Church.

Enter inside, Dim the lights, candles flickering, dome-shaped roof solemn, every piece of embossing are like God's eyes, quietly watching the multitude. Most notably the Church stained, painted and Bible-related stories, colourful harmony, the characters vivid, I wonder then how can the production process.

From the Church, we take the lift to the roof.

Here is a different world. Minaret of religious figures become so handy finger gently slides the smooth marble carving roses decorated as a unit of straight through religion, heart, spleen. 4 meters high at the top of the Church of the Virgin, gold-plated below only see you looked up, and now has become so intimate with clear, sun exposure the Virgin with a layer of Holy Virgin. From top to bottom, flocks of pigeons flew, the streets in a hurry, the old city with a beautiful modern city atmosphere.

The Tower a lot of people taking pictures, a naughty blonde boy around father insisted on a statue of Buddha head torn, he turned on the camera head rested on the statue on cute faces and everyone couldn't help laughing.

If at home, I think categorically will not dare to head was put on the Buddha or hoppers, and so on, it seems that the statue, Westerners believe in Holy things far better than China's much more to be approachable.

From the top down, it's still early, we strolled wandering, inadvertently had walked into an unknown small churches participated in a pair of Asian wedding.

The wedding is just beginning, a quiet surrounding, only heard the sound of a priest and a couple of letters. We resisted curiosity and emotion, quietly in the back seat, all immersed in the wedding of solemn, nobody noticed our arrival. Start eulogizing, people got to stand up, a devout, melodious vacant music voler, infiltrated every inch of space. A lot of people kneeling down and make a variety of actions, demeanor into their own inner world. That split second, I would have believed in Jesus, I seemed to finally understand why Christian in the world there are so many believers, even when you are willing to suffer persecution follow closely. This music, this atmosphere, there is no other religions such as Christianity is so dedicated. When the bride's family hands holding basin came to us, the husband had prepared 2 Europe voted through, or vote for us on this on Asian newcomer blessings, wish them head to old!

From the Church, according to the map towards Italy's largest Opera House in Scala.

Imagine the biggest Opera should be how to's palatial Grand, but Pocket to pocket to total not found until the night before we saw a very ordinary, simple building, if not positively the statue, we almost can't determine this is clustered with many world-class performers of Music Hall.

Leave the Scala, Milan was already fully lit up.
