Places to see in ( Ravenna - Italy )
Ravenna is a city in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It's known for the colorful mosaics adorning many of its central buildings, like the octagonal Basilica di San Vitale, the 6th-century Basilica di Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and the cross-shaped Mausoleo di Galla Placidia. North of the center, the Mausoleo di Teodorico built in the 6th century for King Theodoric the Great, is a Gothic, circular stone tomb with a monolithic dome.
For mosaic lovers, Ravenna is an earthly paradise. Spread out over several churches and baptisteries around town is one of the world's most dazzling collections of early Christian mosaic artwork, enshrined since 1996 on Unesco's World Heritage list. Wandering through the unassuming town centre today, you'd never imagine that for a three-century span beginning in AD 402, Ravenna served as capital of the Western Roman Empire, chief city of the Ostrogoth Kingdom of Italy and nexus of a powerful Byzantine exarchate. During this prolonged golden age, while the rest of the Italian peninsula flailed in the wake of Barbarian invasions, Ravenna became a fertile art studio for skilled craftsmen, who covered the city's terracotta brick churches in heart-rendingly beautiful mosaics.
The richest heritage of mosaics in the world, preserved in the basilicas and baptisteries of the city, is a clear evidence of that extraordinary period. For their universal value and the uniqueness of their mosaics, eight monuments of Ravenna have been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, namely Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Neonian Baptistery, Arian Baptistery, Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Chapel of Sant'Andrea or Archiepiscopal Chapel, Mausoleum of Theoderic, Basilica of San Vitale and Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe. Besides the UNESCO monuments, other interesting artistic and archaeological sites such as the Domus of the Stone Carpets and the Ancient Port of Classe make a valuable contribution to the reconstruction of the history of Ravenna.
During the declining period of the Latin civilization, Ravenna undoubtedly represented the most important political and cultural centre of the Western world. Traces of more recent times from the Middle Ages to the contemporary age can be equally found in the city. Some of the most celebrated monuments of these periods are the Tomb of Poet Dante Alighieri, the Brancaleone Fortress (Rocca Brancaleone), the Classense Library (Biblioteca Classense), the Municipal Tower (Torre Civica), as well as the monumental gates of the city.
The cultural offer of Ravenna is abundant and varied. Its wide network of museums and collections includes the MAR - Ravenna Art Museum, regularly organizing high-profile exhibitions and hosting a number of permanent collections; the National Museum, exhibiting a variety of collections and findings from excavations of Roman and Byzantine remains; the Archiepiscopal Museum hosting the Chapel of Sant’Andrea (belonging to the UNESCO Heritage); Tamo Museum. All the adventure of the mosaic, a permanent, interactive and multimedia exhibition dedicated to the art of mosaic in all its aspects, from the Antiquity up to the present; Dante Museum houings relics related to the cult and fame of the poet and finally the Risorgimento Museum, that bears witness to the followers of Mazzini and Garibaldi in Ravenna.
The great variety of landscapes surrounding Ravenna ranges from farmlands with fruit groves, marshes and canals flanked by typical fishing nets to centuries-old pinewoods overlooking sandy, well-equipped beaches. Nine unique seaside resorts stretch along its 30-km long coastline. Its beaches offer a wide range of facilities and leisure activities, such as games, sports and fitness, walks and rides, amusement parks (e.g. Mirabilandia), as well as sunshine, relax and culinary delights.
Finally, nature lovers and hikers will enjoy walking through the oasis of Punte Alberete and its quiet flooded forests sheltering rare bird species, as well as visiting the NatuRa Museum of Sant’Alberto, that borders on the Comacchio Valleys, and the ancient pinewood of San Vitale and Classe, which is part of the nature reserve of the Po Delta Park.

Places to see in ( Ravenna - Italy ) Palazzo di Teodorico
Places to see in ( Ravenna - Italy ) Palazzo di Teodorico
The palace of Theodoric or Theoderic (also called the so-called palace of Theodoric ) is a palace located in Ravenna , near the basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo. Today reduced to some ruins, including the facade, its ancient function is still debated among scholars: an interpretation identifies it as the part in front of the church of San Salvatore ad Calchi (destroyed at the beginning of the 16th century), another he associates it with a defense building for the palace of the exarchs (governors of the city) of the VII-VIII century.
The historical study of the site began after the discovery of some floor mosaics in the nineteenth century. With the name of Palazzo di Teoderico, it is commonly referred to the architectural remains overlooking the current Via di Roma, located near the church of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo. This area was the object of study from the mid-nineteenth century, following the fortuitous discovery of some mosaic floor stretches.
According to some scholars, the building would be the remainder of a guardhouse (VII-VIII century) built to guard the access to the building at the time when it was inhabited by the exarchs (as the governors of the Italian provinces were called on the emperor's mandate of Byzantium). The factory had to imitate a similar building in Constantinople called Calce (or bronze) for its monumental bronze door and hence the name of Calce or Calchi for the Ravenna building.
According to others, however, it would be the remains of the atrium-portico (ardica) in front of the church of San Salvatore ad Calchi. This cult building, documented in medieval sources and located near the entrance of the palace and the church of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, is almost completely destroyed in a document of 1503.
Currently, through a spiral staircase, inserted in the round tower that flanks the door on the east side, you can access the upper room where several sections of mosaic floors found and detached have been placed on several occasions, starting from the end of the last century during the archaeological excavation campaigns in the area of the Teodoric imperial palace. Mosaic fragments are also found on the ground floor in the narrow front loggia.

Ravenna Cripta Rasponi e Giardini pensili
Ravenna Cripta Rasponi e Giardini pensili
All'interno del Palazzo della Provincia si nascondono i tesori d'arte e natura.
Uno degli angoli più belli e suggestivi della cittàdi Ravenna torna a risplendere dopo un lungo restauro che svela mosaici di grande bellezza e giardini all'italiana.
LA CRIPTA
La cripta si compone di tre vani: quello di accesso s'innesta alla base di una torretta neogotica; in un vano si nota una bella palla di pietra con l'iscrizione SIC VITA PENDET AB ALTO; il presbiterio è destinato ad accogliere un piccolo altare per le funzioni religiose.
La parte più significativa della cripta è costituita dal pavimento a mosaico, costituito dall'assemblaggio di diversi frammenti disposti in maniera casuale.
Il pavimento proviene da Classe, probabilmente dalla chiesa di San Severo (VI secolo) e presenta motivi ornamentali e figure di animali -- galline, anatre, oche, teste di ariete e serpenti -- colti in atteggiamenti spontanei e vivacizzati dall'uso di smalti che ne esaltano la ricchezza cromatica.

( Modena - Italy ) is a city and comune (municipality) on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy.
An ancient town, and seat of an archbishop, it is known for its automotive industry since the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati are, or were, located here and all, except Lamborghini, have headquarters in the city or nearby. One of Ferrari's cars, the 360 Modena, was named after the town itself.
The University of Modena, founded in 1175 and expanded by Francesco II d'Este in 1686, has traditional strengths in economics, medicine and law and is the second oldest athenaeum in Italy. Italian military officers are trained at the Military Academy of Modena, and partly housed in the Baroque Ducal Palace. The Biblioteca Estense houses historical volumes and 3,000 manuscripts. The Cathedral of Modena, the Torre della Ghirlandina and Piazza Grande are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Modena is also known in culinary circles for its production of balsamic vinegar.
Famous Modenesi include Mary of Modena, the Queen consort of England and Scotland; operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti and soprano Mirella Freni, born in Modena itself; Enzo Ferrari, eponymous founder of the Ferrari motor company; Catholic priest Gabriele Amorth; chef Massimo Bottura; comics artist Franco Bonvicini and singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini, who lived here for several decades.
Main attractions :
The Ducal Palace, begun by Francesco I d'Este in 1634 and finished by Francis V, was the seat of the Este court from the 17th to 19th centuries. The palace occupies the site of the former Este Castle, once located in the periphery of the city.
Facing the Piazza Grande (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the Town Hall of Modena was put together in the 17th and 18th centuries from several pre-existing edifices built from 1046 as municipal offices.
It is characterized by a Clock Tower (Torre dell'Orologio, late 15th century), once paired with another tower (Torre Civica) demolished after an earthquake in 1671. In the interior, noteworthy is the Sala del Fuoco (Fire Hall), with a painted frieze by Niccolò dell'Abbate (1546) portraying famous characters from Ancient Rome against a typical Emilia background. The Camerino dei Confirmati (Chamber of the Confirmed) houses one of the symbols of the city, the Secchia Rapita, a bucket kept in memory of the victorious Battle of Zappolino (1325) against Bologna. This relic inspired the poem of the same title by Alessandro Tassoni. Another relic from the Middle Ages in Modena is the Preda Ringadora, a rectangular marble stone next to the palace porch, used as a speakers' platform, and the statue called La Bonissima.
The Cathedral of Modena and the annexed campanile are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begun under the direction of the Countess Matilda of Tuscany with its first stone laid June 6, 1099 and its crypt ready for the city's patron, Saint Geminianus, and consecrated only six years later, the Duomo of Modena was finished in 1184. The building of a great cathedral in this flood-prone ravaged former center of Arianism was an act of urban renewal in itself, and an expression of the flood of piety that motivated the contemporary First Crusade. Unusually, the master builder's name, Lanfranco, was celebrated in his own day: the city's chronicler expressed the popular confidence in the master-mason from Como, Lanfranco: by God's mercy the man was found (inventus est vir). The sculptor Wiligelmus who directed the mason's yard was praised in the plaque that commemorated the founding. The program of the sculpture is not lost in a welter of detail: the wild dangerous universe of the exterior is mediated by the Biblical figures of the portals leading to the Christian world of the interior. In Wiligelmus' sculpture at Modena, the human body takes on a renewed physicality it had lost in the schematic symbolic figures of previous centuries. At the east end, three apses reflect the division of the body of the cathedral into nave and wide aisles with their bold, solid masses. Modena's Duomo inspired campaigns of cathedral and abbey building in emulation through the valley of the Po.
The Gothic campanile (1224–1319) is called Torre della Ghirlandina from the bronze garland surrounding the weathercock.
