Porta del Porta is the largest, oldest and most famous open-air market in Rome. It is known for its large scale and complete variety. It is a world-famous antique flea market.
This antique flea market occupies several streets. Looking around, each street is filled with various stalls and white tents, creating a very spectacular scenery.
It is said that there are a total of 4,000 stalls of various sizes in this antique flea market, which is even more numerous than the Saint-Ouin antique flea market in Paris.
In addition to numerous antique and second-hand stalls, the streets where this open-air market is located are also lined with many antique shops and galleries of varying sizes and styles, which are also good places for shopping.
Here, you can find everything from needlework to solid wood furniture, sculptures from ancient Greece and Rome, top antiques from the Renaissance, and masterpieces by modern art masters.
Of course, this depends on your eyesight, luck, and whether God will favor you.
Only those who have both strength and luck can find truly valuable antiques and artworks here. Others can just wait to pay the tuition. It is a good thing not to be deceived!
It’s a sunny Sunday, and the open-air market at Botsemen is open for business again.
Just after nine o'clock in the morning, this open-air market was already crowded and very lively.
Tourists from all over the world, as well as many Roman locals, flocked from all over Rome to this open-air antique flea market, ready to hunt for treasures, taste delicious food, and visit.
Of course, thieves from some cities in and around Rome also came here after hearing the news, ready to steal a lot and make a lot of money. This is their weekly carnival!
For such a world-famous antique flea market, Ye Tian would not miss it.
He has already raided the antique market in Florence and the antique art market in Milan. If he left Rome alone, wouldn't it be a bit of a show of partiality? That would be bad!
So, as soon as the Botsaimen open-air market opened for business, Ye Tian and his group showed up on time, walked into the antique flea market talking and laughing, and prepared to sweep the place.
As before, Cole and many security personnel spread out and set up a line of defense around Ye Tian and the others, separating all suspicious-looking pedestrians and tourists.
There were also several security personnel pretending to be tourists, mingling with the bustling crowd, observing the movements of the crowd, and secretly protecting Ye Tian and the others.
In addition, Cole also deployed two sniper teams, arrived here in advance, hid on the two tallest buildings nearby, and controlled the entire Botsa Gate open-air market from a high position.
And as Ye Tian and the others keep moving in the market, the two sniper teams will change their positions in time to ensure that Ye Tian and the others are always within sight.
Not far behind Ye Tian and the others, there was a group of Roman policemen and Italian cultural relics gendarmes in plain clothes, following closely and always on high alert.
But how did these guys know that there were people following behind them.
Further back, the guys from Blackwater and their agents, as well as the agent from the Israeli IZO mercenary company, followed suit.
Half an hour before leaving the Vatican in the morning, Cole notified these guys and asked them to follow them to the Porta Porta open-air market to collect rewards for hunting down several gangsters.
As for the way to receive remuneration, each of them knows very well, just keep an eye on Ye Tian's fingers and see when he gives hints and types Morse code!
When Ye Tian gives a hint, they can take action.
Get the antique artworks designated by Ye Tian at low prices, then take them out of Italy, and then auction them off through major auction houses to make a lot of money!
For this unconventional method of payment, these mercenaries who have been licking blood all year round are very welcome. At the same time, they are also very curious. They are all excited and wish they could receive the corresponding Morse code immediately!
As long as everything goes well, this will be the most generous remuneration they have ever earned, and if they can see the sun, no one will be able to catch anything, and they can use it at will. Can you not welcome it?
At the same time, Bowie, dressed as a tourist, was walking among the crowd, strolling towards the entrance of the Botsey Gate open-air market.
During the march, his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses kept flashing with excitement.
As early as two days ago, Bowie arrived in Rome. He had been visiting various places before, just like ordinary tourists, nothing surprising!
He had not appeared here until today when the open-air market at Botsa Gate opened.
As for the purpose of his coming here, there is no need to ask, of course it is the same as before.
Secretly cooperating with Ye Tian, and based on the information received, they raided the entire Botsaimen open-air market, madly sweeping away those neglected antiques and artworks, and sweeping away wealth!
As soon as they entered the Botsaimen open-air market, Ye Tian and the others attracted countless attention and caused quite a commotion.
Especially the stall owners in this open-air market, as well as the large and small antique dealers and gallery owners, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they felt like a disaster was imminent.
"Damn it! This extremely greedy bastard, Steven, is actually here, so there is no doubt that many guys will be unlucky today and be robbed by this bastard!"
"I'll go! This **** Steven is just like the legend. Everywhere he goes, he will madly loot the local antique art market and cause countless **** tragedies.
Today it’s the turn of the Botsa Gate Open Air Market again. It is completely conceivable that by the end of today, the Botsa Gate Open Air Market will have many unlucky people who have been crazily looted and miserable! ”
As people started talking, the news that Ye Tian came to the Botsaimen open-air market had quickly swept through the entire market like a hurricane and reached the ears of almost everyone.
Hearing the news, many stall owners, antique dealers, and gallery owners who set up stalls and shops here couldn't help but feel frightened, fearing that they would become the targets of crazy looting.
Some of them have even made up their minds not to do Ye Tian's business, life or death, to avoid being robbed by him.
But how did these guys know that Ye Tian had already prepared a backup plan just to deal with this situation.
As long as there are valuable and neglected antiques and artworks in their stalls or stores, they will inevitably be robbed!
After entering the market, Ye Tian first looked at the surrounding situation, then pointed to a stall on the street, smiled and said to everyone around him:
"Let's go over there and have a look. The things on that stall look interesting. Maybe there will be a surprise waiting for us there!"
As he spoke, he took Betty towards the stall on the street.
David and the others followed closely behind, everyone looking very excited.
When the stall owner on the street saw Ye Tian walking toward him, he suddenly felt flustered, his eyelids jumped, and he felt like something was wrong.
But today's market has just opened, and he hasn't opened yet, and he can't close the stall and evacuate immediately. He can only stay in place and wait for the judgment of fate!
In a few steps, Ye Tian and Betty were the first to arrive at the stall.
Ye Tian smiled and nodded at the stall owner, then looked at the goods on the stall.
This is a very ordinary antique and second-hand stall. The stall is full of goods, and the variety is so diverse that it makes people a little dizzy just looking at it!
From head sculptures that appear to be from the ancient Greek and Roman periods, to tempera paintings from the medieval period, classical oil paintings and sculptures from the Renaissance period, to modern sculptures and paintings, you can see them all here.
In addition to these, there are also rusty ancient swords, bronze candlesticks, ceramics, clocks, tableware, as well as modern glass products and handicrafts, as well as some second-hand luxury accessories, etc., a dazzling array!
After quickly scanning the items on the stall, Ye Tian looked at the stall owner with a smile on his face, pointed to a tempera painting on the stall and said:
"Good morning, man, I'm Steven, nice to meet you, can I take a look at that tempera painting? That painting looks interesting!"
The forty-year-old stall owner took a deep look at Ye Tian, then turned his head and looked at the tempera painting suspiciously, then nodded and said:
"Good morning, Steven, I'm Philippe, and I'm glad to meet you too. Welcome to Rome, welcome to the Porta Botsa fairground. Of course you can look at the tempera painting"
Next, Ye Tian reached out and took the tempera painting, pretending to appreciate it seriously.
This is a tempera painting that looks quite historical. It is small in size, about the size of a magazine. The classical style frame looks quite old, and there are some cracks on it.
The painting is a half-length portrait of a medieval noblewoman, dressed in fine clothes, sitting on a chair, staring outside the painting. The painting is brightly colored and has a sense of luster, which is the characteristic of tempera painting.
Following Ye Tian's movements, many people around him couldn't help but focus on the tempera painting. Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity and expectation.
Some of them even began to secretly guess that the tempera painting was a valuable work of art, and how much was it worth?
Not far behind, the guys from Blackwater Company and IZO Company were even more excited.
Although they all pretended to be nonchalant and looked no different from ordinary tourists, each of their eyes were staring at Ye Tian's fingers through their sunglasses to see if he could type Morse code.
Unfortunately, even after they waited for a long time, Ye Tian's fingers didn't move at all.
After looking over the tempera painting in his hand, Ye Tian put the painting back on the stall and said with a smile:
"Philip, I don't quite understand this tempera painting, so I won't ask about its price. Let's go to the stall in front and have a look. See you later!"
After saying that, Ye Tian took Betty out and walked to the next stall a few meters away.
"Hoo——!"
The stall owner Philip secretly let out a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed a lot.
God bless! I finally escaped from being robbed by this **** Steven and became another miserable unlucky guy!
While secretly rejoicing, he was still somewhat disappointed and regretful deep in his heart.
Obviously, in the eyes of that guy Steven, these things in his stall are almost like garbage. They have no value at all and are not worth selling!
But how did he know that someone would visit his stall later and buy the two most valuable treasures here that he had ignored at extremely low prices!
In fact, he still couldn't escape the tragic fate of being crazily robbed!
