277. Covering biblical highlights from the Creation of the World to the Resurrection of Jesus.

329. "This chapel was built by Bishop Pietro II during the reign of Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, to serve as a private Oratory.
330. The chapel is built on a cruciform design, with an entirely marble-covered vestibule forming the lower part and the upper part entirely covered in mosaic-work. So strong was the following for the Arian religion at that time that the chapel is the only orthodox monument which was built during Theodoric's reign.
331. The iconography of the mosaics is very interesting; the glorification of Christ which dominates all of the mosaic-work may be interpreted as an anti-Arian element, and the representation of the martyrs is a particularly strong assertion of the orthodox Catholic faith." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna
332. Also at the Diocesan Museum: An Archbishop's Chair with Inlaid Ivory Carvings of the Four Evangelists (notice how they are holding their Gospel Books)

338. "The Empress Galla Placidia commissioned the building of this Basilica between 424 and 434AD. It was seriously damaged by bombing during the last war. It has undergone restoration and now has a nave and two aisles divided by some of the original columns (except for three).
339. The floor is two metres higher than the original.
340. The surrounding walls are lined with fragments of mosaic from various floors belonging to the church over the centuries.
341. The altar in the presbytery is the original and dates from the fifth century.
342. The square bell tower outside on the right dates from the 10th century, although the upper portion and the spire were added in 1340. There is a remarkable Gothic portal." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna
343. The Arian Baptistery
344. Dome Mosaic: John Baptizes Jesus
345. Twelve Apostles approaching and Altar
346. "A short distance from the Arian cathedral (now the Church of the Holy Spirit) lies the Arian Baptistery which was built by Theodoric most probably in the final decade of the 10th century. It is octagonal in shape, like the Cathedral Baptistery (Neonian Baptistery) with 4 small apses.
347. The mosaic work of the dome depicts the baptism of Christ.
348. Christ is seen partially immersed in the waters of the Jordan personified in the figure of an austere old man, whilst to his left, John the Baptist performs the ceremony.
349. The border around the Baptism circle depicts the twelve apostles walking towards a trunk." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna

355. St. Matthew and the Angel (holding a Gospel written in Hebrew)
356. St. Mark and the Lion (showing the Gospel to the viewer)
357. "This Basilica was built in the first half of the 6th century with the funding of the banker Giuliano Argentario and presents many similarities with the modern day church of Santi Sergio e Bacco di Constantinopoli. It was built on an octagonal design and the dome overhanging the central room is supported by eight strong marble-covered pillars.
358. Much of the architectural interest of S. Vitale is derived from the magnificent range of colours found in the mosaics lining the walls, the Presbytery and the Apse.
359. The mosaics carry depictions of biblical, symbolic and historical themes.
360. The panels in the Apse are Byzantine in style with much symbolic representation while the Presbytery panels are of a style particular to Ravenna which is traditionally more naturalistic.
361. A Renaissance portico leads to the Basilica of S. Vitale.
362. The same portico also leads to the National Museum which is of considerable interest for its collection of Roman and Paleochristian finds and archaeological evidence of the first human settlements in the Romagna region." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna
363. The Mausoleum of Galla Placidi (near the Basilica of San Vitale)
364. Blue Starred Mosaic in the Ceiling Vault with Symbols of the Four Evangelists in the four corners
365. "Galla Placidia (386-450 AD) was the sister of Honorius, the Roman emperor who transferred the capital of the western Roman Empire from Milan to Ravenna in 402 AD. She commissioned the building of this small mausoleum between 425 AD and 450 AD. It was built in the form of a Latin cross and is now famous for the splendour of its mosaics.
366. The very plain exterior of the edifice contrasts heavily with the richness of its interior mosaic-work, the oldest in Ravenna. The mosaics entirely cover the vault, the lunette windows and the dome.
367. The iconographical themes developed in the decorations represent the victory of life over death, in keeping with the funerary function of the edifice." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna
368. Dante's Tomb
369. Exterior View
370. Interior View
371. "Dante's tomb stands near to the Basilica of San Francisco.
372. The poet died whilst in exile in Ravenna in 1321. The tomb is a small neoclassical construction built by Camillo Morigia in 1780.
373. A votive lamp hangs from the vault of the temple filled with oil from the Tuscan hills sent from Florence each year to mark the death of the poet. The area around the tomb is known as 'The Dante quarter' where silence is maintained at all times." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna

380. The Winged Lion and Ox representing St. Mark and St. Luke
381. The town of Classe lay 5km from Ravenna.
382. All that now remains are the ruins of the S. Severo bell tower and S. Apollinare in Classe.
383. The Basilica was built during the first half of the 6th century with the generosity of Giuliano Argentario. The original construction included a façade with a four-sided portico and a pronaos with lateral towers which has been reconstructed.
384. The massive cylindrical bell tower dating from the 10th century rises to the right of the Basilica broken up by mullioned windows with one, two and three lights over small marble columns.
385. The interior of the church is split into a nave and two aisles which are divided by 24 columns of Greek marble. Ten marble sarcophagi line the walls of the aisles.
386. The mosaics which decorate the Presbytery and the bowl-shaped vault of the apse were the last to be produced in Ravenna by Byzantine artists either in the 7th or 9th centuries.
387. In these mosaics the classical naturalism has been completely replaced by the more conventional forms of abstract Eastern symbolism." -- from the website of the Comune di Ravenna

402. This ancient Roman city (Hispellum), is located in East-central Umbria about 8 km (5 miles) South of Assisi. It contains over two dozen churches and chapels.
403. The most fascinating one for my interests is the Cappella Tega, since its vaulted ceiling contains very striking paintings of the Four Evangelists together with their traditional symbols.
404. The Ceiling of the Cappella Tega:
