Believe it or not, today in Ravenna was bright and sunny,
in the 60's. Tomorrow it will rain again so we're enjoying today!!
Ravenna was the fifth-century
seat of the Roman Empire and later a major city during the Byzantine era.
Today it's most famous for its mosaics. It is the mosaic
capital of Italy, where ancient masterpieces meet modern styles. The local Art
Academy is the only one in Italy where students can graduate with a Master
degree in mosaic. Mosaic is a decorative design or work of art made up of small
materials, such as pieces of stone or glass, arranged to create a pattern or
image.
