It's the heartbeat of the mosaic world! Dating back to the Byzantine era, Ravenna in Italy has been filled with a rich tapestry of mosaic craftsmanship, from the walls to the floors and the ceilings of its architectural marvels. From grand basilicas to intimate residences, Ravenna's mosaic artistry portrays ancient civilizations through every shimmering tile and preserves the legacy of a city steeped in history and artistic brilliance.

Experience these timeless artworks as Professor Daniele Torcellini offers insights into their historical context and artist Luca Barberini shows how mosaics can engage with contemporary issues.

The locals thought I was very odd when they were watching me film this video, throwing my camera around like a madman 🤣

I went to Ravenna for a day as part of a larger trip to Venice and it ended up being the highlight of the entire vacation. The Byzantine mosaics there are absolutely stunning in person and have become some of my favorite pieces of art in the world; I think I sat staring at the ones in the Basilica di San Vitale for over an hour because I was so entranced. They were so beautiful that when I finally saw the famous mosaic ceilings inside the Basilica San Marco in Venice, my first thought was ‘Eh, they’re all right, but they’re no Ravenna mosaics.’ If you can swing it, it is so worth the trip.

beautiful, i've always loved looking at mosaics, identifying all the tiny pieces that make up a whole piece of art, each one of them working together to form patterns and motives

The mosaics in Church of San Vitale has always amazed me since I first saw it on a book when I was 10 years old. To see it in person would have been nice, probably.

Those mosaics are so beautiful. I hadn't heard about Ravenna before, but if I ever go to Italy I'd like to visit this city. I don't particularly remember any mosaic in specific that I have seen in person but I do know they were used in many parts in my country.

I knew it was Ravenna from the thumbnail!!! I live close-by. More people should know about Ravenna and its province. Whoever wants to visit won't be disappointed. And they'll find Dante Alighieri's tomb as well.
