Milan, Brescia and Ravenna
Milan, Brescia and Ravenna
Students of this course leave for Ravenna and Brescia not only to reconstruct the historical and socio-cultural context of the upper Adriatic area from the age of the soldier emperors to the byzantine and Langobard period, but also to understand the impact of secular and religious building activity on the urban development of Ravenna and Brescia, to delineate the influence of the East in general and of Constantinople in particular upon the West, and last but not least, to understand the transformation of a Roman city center into an early medieval one (Brescia).
The first two days they stay in Ravenna where they visit places like S. Giovanni Evangelista, S. Francesco, the Basilica Ursiana, the Baptistery of the Orthodox, the mausoleum of Theodoric, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and many other museums and churches that the list could go on forever! Then the last day they take the train to Brescia where they visit the Forum of Brescia and the Museo di Santa Giulia.
