1. Basilica San Vitale

History As a symbol of the Archiepiscopal Chancellery of Ravenna, San Vitale is one of the greatest works of late Roman art. Famous for its mosaics commissioned by Archbishop Maximian (546/556 AD), the basilica is a place of contemplation. While the body descends its steps the spirit rises to the Truth. A masterpiece to be admired for its evident beauty and its hidden, precise, evocative theological argument.

I ❤️’d this Basilica.... i saw it in arctic conditions, bad lighting, freezing....but thought it was just magnificent. Could’ve gazed at the mosaics for ages. Don’t know the price for entry as we bought the 9€ all incl ticket for 5 places. There was no-one around! This leads to the Mausoleum Behind it., also a must-see

Biblioteca Malatestiana is Cesena's jewel. If you visit you'll learn why, it's a place where you breathe time and the centuries before you. It houses a nice collection of bibliographic jewels and curiosities. If you're around it's a must to visit.

We know italian icecream is the best but here the quality and the tastes are over any imagination! All the different icecream tastes are awesome and the attention to the quality of the ingredients is at the top. The staff inside is kind and friendly since you enter. I am litteraly crazy with the ricemilk yoghurt and how they prepare it with different additional ingredients that you can select and a big attention to distribute these ingredients in different levels so you can savor them from the top to the end of the glass.
It is a must: visit and enjoy your icecream!

Interesting to find a celebrated town in Italy where fame or renown comes not from its 15th century Cathedral, medieval palazzos or vast picture galleries of 13th-14th century paintings and sculptures, but from the production of a certain type of white-glazed ceramic called faienze.. Add to this the realisation that Faenza has been doing this since the 12th century and it was responsible for us, at short notice, to visit some of the workshops and a school of fine art where we witnessed stages of modelling vases and the preparation of colours. The industry is well spread all over Emilia-Romagna but it all started in Faenza due to its rich clay suitable for forming and baking.
We trawled, amazed, through the Museum of Ceramics, home to one of the largest collections in the world, displaying works from the Middle Ages through to the 19th century with a private bequest that netted the establishment 960 Maiolica plates and vases, donated by a passionate scholar and art historian to whom we are pen this ode today.
The museum took us through the different periods of Faience, from the archaic, floral and Berttino styles, to the white-blue glaze of 18th century Chinoiserie. Regretfully we lacked the time to do an in-depth study of the 50,000 volumes detailing the history of Faience in the museum library. Maybe next visit?...... my femme cocks a credulent eye-brow movement in my direction. Enough said!

Our little group of Prinsendam cruisers has followed Silvia Belletti into the church to learn about the artwork. At the Sarcophagus of Archbishop Theodorus she tells us the Peacocks on the lid are eternal life. The sheeps and cross with Alpha and Omega on the front panel are deep symbols. The Alpha and Omega the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet; symbolized the beginning as well as the end. The sheep and cross symbolized the Lamb of god sacrifice on the cross. Silvia says the unique and beautiful mosaic of the apse dates from the 6th century. The apse is decorated with a mosaic of the Crux Gemmata (Latin for: jeweled cross). I am left to wonder why the sheep look like small white horses?
Silvia guides us to the corner where we can see the floor of the original interior that was entirely paved in mosaic. The church is another building settling into the former swamp. It sure helps having a guide to explain all these intricate details that would have taken me hours of research to learn.

We drove dowm tp Predappio from Bologna which is just under an hour on the motorway. Predappio is an interesting little town almost totally given over to its most famous son, Benito Mussolini.
Most of the important buildings in the town were built during the Mussolini era and are well preseved, It is still possible to see the fascist symbol on one of the buildings.
Parking was easy, basically you can park where you want for free. Mussolini's birth place is now a small museum and community centre and cared for by the municipality. There is a shop located in the main street dedicated to the memory of Il Duce and selling Mussolini gifts from a full size bust to a keyring and not at overly inflated prices. The lady who runs the shop is charming and eager to help although Italian is the only language spoken.
I guess the Crypt will be the destination of most visitors and this is located in an immaculately kept cemetery about a couple of kms outside town on a hill. The Mussolini family crypt is easy to find being roughly at the highest point in the cemetary. Most of the Mussolini family is entombed here except for his oldest daughter Edda and her husband Count Ciano who had fallen out of favour with Mussolini and who had his son in law (Ciano) shot!
Depending on when you visit the crypt is watched over by a smartly dressed youth in Fascist uniform.
If people find this period or latter day interest, some might say adulation of Mussolini offensive you have the simple option of passing Predappio bye and continuing on to Rimini, only a short drive down the road. Some of the comments and obsenities written in the visitors book show that even after all this time the Mussolini name can still provoke strong emotions but for me it was an interesting excursion into a time before I was born which bought me close to the man who gave Italians something to be proud of for the first twenty years he held power. Let us not forget. world leaders were hearalding Mussolini as a peace keeper and hero up to 1938, before he foolishly threw his lot in with Hitler.
Fasinating Fascism seems an apt title and Predappio well worth a visit. It is almost unique as where else in the world can you get as close to the remains of one of the great dictators of the 20th Century and walk through a town that appears to have change little since the 1930s.
