- Notes
- Ravenna is a famous fown ; it’s monuments are know in all the world and its name is, therefore, synonym for mosaic and Byzantine art... The books about Ravenna belong to two very distinct catagories. There are the works of experts who examine Ravenna’s artistic heritage in great detail as well as its historical events and archaeological discoveries: thus are products destined to be read by a distinct minority... The reaader of this book will have an image of Ravenna as a town imbuted with centuries of history, not only in its main points, but also in its buildings, urban life, and inhabitants. This is a town, which has undergone several changes, even physical and its present appearance. Also, the monuments are not unchangeable, but the remains of something of the past, still present and able to influence everyday and future reality. — Introduction
