Lovely little museum, shows history of family of producers and the balsamic vinegar is made, with tour around storage barrels area. Then to the tasting. Tasted a big selection of various ages and pedigrees which really helped me understand the subtle differences. Very worthwhile trip, just wish I could have brought more home. Plus they provided a gorgeous pannetone for us to share.

Archiepiscopal Museum

Archiepiscopal Museum and the Chapel of St. Andrew The Archbishop's Chapel of St. Andrew is guarded as a gemstone inside the Bishop's Palace. It was the private chapel of the bishops of Ravenna and it was built and decorated with mosaics from 494 till 519. Set up inside the rooms of the Bishop's Palace, the collection of the Archiepiscopal Museum contains epigraphs, the Cathedral treasure, remains of mosaics from the ancient Basilica of Ursus and above all the ivory throne of the bishop Maximian (6th century).

The significant and rich Archiepiscopal Museum here in Ravenna shows us the historical sequence of events and life in the city itself. It is located immediately next to the Baptistry of Neon and behind the Duomo of Ravenna, on the first and second floor of the Archiepiscopal Palace. The museum is very interesting with its artifacts and we are especially impressed with the chapel of Sant'Andrea, an early Christian oratory with Greek cross plan built between 494 and 519 AD in the time of Theodoric and decorated with wonderful mosaics. Archiepiscopal Chapel is the only existing archiepiscopal chapel of the early Christian era that has been preserved intact to the present day. It was erected by Bishop Peter II as a private oratory for Catholic bishops when Arianism was the main religion of the court. Originally dedicated to Christ, the chapel was then renamed and dedicated to Saint Andrew, whose relics were transported from Constantinople to Ravenna around the mid-6th century AD. Beautifully decorated chapel with extremely beautiful mosaics. Also of interest to us was the ivory throne of Maximian, one of the most famous carved ivory works of all times executed in the 6th century by Byzantine artists. Very interesting museum with valuable details.

The girl that showed us around the laboratory and explained the internals of the engines was really good and made it very interesting. It was great to see their latest racing bike there. The museum itself had lots of gorgeous motorbikes and it was fascinating to learn that Ducati originally made radios and projectors until their factory burned down and they changed tack. Shame not to see the factory but can well understand that they need to protect their workers from the virus.

Our guided tour through this museum started with the earliest pieces mostly with one color, then moved to ones with more colors and details. Our guide was excellent giving us the stories about how each era added new ways to create ceramic pieces all the way to modern times. This was worth the time to see.
