Harry Potter Morning Light

From the mid-eighteenth century onwards, European artistic styles were at a crossroads, and not every woman was so fond of Rococo. Queen Maria Theresa preferred neoclassicism. When she came to power, the overall style of Milan was still in the late Baroque period, so when her son Archduke Ferdinand married Maria Beatrice d'Este and settled in After the Era of Milan, the Queen decided to renovate the entire city in a neoclassical style. In 1776, she founded an art museum in Brera Palace, and the Brera Academy of Fine Arts was born.

There is a botanical garden next to the Academy of Fine Arts, which also belongs to the Brera Palace, where Pio Magenta joined the People's Association Club. At that time, like many young people, he accepted the Enlightenment ideas outside the mountains.

All night last night, there was the sound of footsteps of military boots outside. Cerroni's 3rd Italian Infantry Regiment was now transferred elsewhere. At dawn, the defense change was almost completed, and Georgiana moved from the bank with the bunker to the Marino Palace, which was also located in the square.

It had been built by a Genoese banker and looked elegant, and could accommodate all her entourage, with room to spare.

The Opera House opposite also had a "sleepless night". The Milan police released some innocent people. They stood in the square with their luggage, waiting for the carriage to pick them up.

Miss Delory runs a gallery. In addition to being a judge, Magenta is also a doctor, but medicine is his hobby. What he studied in Pavia was land surveying and architecture. At the same time, he occasionally translated Latin poets. of poetry.

He has a wide range of interests and hobbies and has many friends. Just because he corresponded with Cerroni cannot be certain that he was also involved in the incident.

Georgiana turned another page of the file.

Count Leopoldo Ciconiara, born in Ferrara, was an influential art book collector and patron of many artists and scholars.

At the end of the 18th century, with the enthusiasm for research on early Renaissance art, more and more murals that needed to be protected came into people's view. An art historian named Luigi Lanzi invented a mural removal technology that could remove the murals. The canvas soaked in special glue is placed on the painting that needs to be removed. After a few days, the mural can be removed after the canvas dries.

This method has a certain risk of destroying the painting. Many murals are painted in tempera. This Tempera painting method, which was popular in the Middle Ages, was still popular in the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" was painted in tempera.

Lanzi's intention was to remove the mural and then protect it, but the actual application was different from what he thought. There was a restorer who violently peeled off the murals in Carducci's Villa by cutting them into pieces. What's more, based on his personal preferences, he took off the murals that he thought did not constitute the artist's representative work and auctioned them off. For sale, Botticelli's frescoes in the loggia of Villa Lemy received such treatment and are now in the Louvre.

This behavior was opposed and criticized by Leopoldo Chiconyala, one of the few aristocratic State Councilors of the Shannan Republic. There were many civilians like Magenta in Melchi's Council of State, but the nobles neither opposed nor supported it. They were generally very low-key, except for the Visconti princess who planned to conquer the "Italian Conqueror".

She "married" herself a husband whom she met through Chiconyala. He was an archaeologist, and he couldn't control his wife even if he wanted to.

There is also Madame Luge, the most beautiful woman in Milan, whose lawyer husband later became the director of the Directory. Madame Rambert had been chosen by Emperor Joseph II, and although she was no longer young, she was still a model of elegance.

The wife of Dr. Marini, the Countess of Are, the wife of Italy's most outstanding modern poet Monti, oh, and General Lecki, he has a beautiful sister Gherardi, her beauty attracted many young people in Venice of madness and female jealousy.

The person who provided this information definitely had bad intentions. Why did he include this long list of women!

There was the sound of horse hooves outside the window. Georgiana walked to the window and took a look. It turned out that the guard of honor was "escorting" a carriage to the entrance of Marino Palace.

After the carriage stopped, a tall and thin man got out. He had very light hair, almost white.

He raised his head after getting out of the car and happened to look at the room where Georgiana was.

She turned away from the window and looked in the mirror. Fortunately, what she saw in the mirror was not an unkempt woman.

Later, she came to the desk and picked up the plan of Milan. On the hills east of Milan, there is a section of city wall left by the Spanish. Close to the city are gardens. There are many big trees in the garden. Behind the trees is Napoleon's Villa. .

There is a place called the "Castle of the East", and all the beautiful women will not miss the opportunity to attend the grand party held there in the evening.

This is a unique arched dome building in Milan, made entirely of Carrara marble.

Carrara marble is one of the most expensive building materials in the world, and Michelangelo's David was made of Carrara marble.

Compared with this house, Mulla's "small villa" only cost one or two million.

There was a knock at the door.

"Please come in." Georgiana put away the plans and personal information.

Arrighi opened the door first and came in, followed by Leopoldo Ciconiara. He looked at her curiously, and Georgiana stood up and smiled politely at him.

"It's a shame to meet you in this way, Congressman."

"I don't think so," Chiconyala said with a smile. "It doesn't get more dramatic than meeting someone this way."

"Do you know why you are here?" asked Georgiana.

But he took her hand and kissed it.

"I know." He said with a smile, but didn't let go of his hand.

She had no choice but to take her hand back.

"You are suspected of being involved in disorderly conduct." Georgiana reminded him seriously. "Do you know Captain Ceroni?"

"We met several times. He wrote to express his admiration for me, but I did not reply to him." Chiconyala said coldly, "Did you find my reply at his residence?"

Indeed not.

Georgiana thought, but it was Captain Ceroni who had discovered several letters to Chiconyara.

"Do you answer every love letter you receive?" Chiconyara asked her.

She felt that his tone was too frivolous.

"I heard that you like reading books very much. Would you like to come to my house and have a look? I have a library."

Arrighi coughed, and Chiconyara's attitude reminded Georgiana of Augereau, who had invited Paulina to his house to see where he had placed the bronze lamp.

"I want to inform you that before the investigation is completed, you can't go anywhere, and your activities are limited to your residence." Georgiana warned.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Ciconiala said happily. "Would you like red wine or champagne?"

"Come this way, Congressman," Arrighi said politely to Chiconyara.

"Come and talk to me about Humboldt next time. I heard you met him, right?"

Arrighi dragged Chiconyara away, not forgetting to turn back and talk to her as he walked.

When the door closed, Chiconyara's voice disappeared.

"Damn Italians," Georgiana muttered, and then she pulled out the information again.

After a while the door opened again.

"Is he suspicious?" Ariji asked, peering at the door.

As far as a woman's intuition goes, Chiconyara is not suspicious.

But the stakes were so high that evidence, whether of guilt or innocence, was needed more than intuition.

"Send a few policemen to keep an eye on him," Georgiana said to Arrighi.

Ariji closed the door.

Georgiana sighed silently and took out the "Collection of Doctrine" that Bonaparte had given her as a Christmas gift. She originally thought of the extradition because of the involvement of the French.

I hope there are similar cases in the book that she can learn from.
