Over the altar at San Vitale. Mosaic of Jesus and angels.
Mosaic of the sacrifices of Abel (on the left) and Melchizedec (right).
A depressingly fuzzy picture of the stunning interior of the church. Two levels of exquisite painting and glorious light.
Inside the Mausoleo di Galla Placidia. The intricacy of the mosaics is stunning.
Mosaic of the Good Shepherd inside the Mausoleo. No flash was allowed inside, so the colors suffered.
Michael, avoiding the picture in the main piazza of Ravenna.
Dante pretty much made the transition from Latin to Italian. Thus, the Latin scholar and the Italian major returned to his tomb to commemorate.
An outdoor concert in one of the piazzas of Bologna. Five old Italian men singing English songs. Priceless.
A marching band in Italy?!
Michael and I 
A marching band? There is hope in this world!
ReplyDeleteWhat piazza was that concert in? It looks so tiny! Also, you probably had cappelletti at the Ca de Vin. No self respecting romagnolo would serve emilian food at his restaurant!
