Dante's tomb and Quadrarco of Braccioforte

Via Dante Alighieri 9, , Ravenna, 48121

Of all the famous Italians in the world, perhaps the best known remains Dante Alighieri, who spent many years of his life here and here he composed Paradise, at the end of his Comedy, certainly inspired by the magnificent mosaics of Ravenna and its atmospheres a little noir.

Mausoleo di Galla Placidia

Via San Vitale, Ravenna, 48121

Basilica di San Vitale

Via San Vitale 17, , Ravenna, 48121

This octagonal temple of the sixth century is a true hymn to life, starting from its dedication to the Holy martyr Vitale. Its dome, object of study of the greatest architects of the world, from Brunelleschi to Palladio, from Antonio da Sangallo the Younger to Le Corbusier, makes pendant with the perhaps most famous mosaics of the city: those that represent the emperor Justinian and his wife Teodora, muse of many more or less contemporary artists, from Gustave Klimt to Karl Lagerfeld, from Christian Lacroix to many other masters of style and refinement.
