SERVICES FOR SCHOOLS
Ravenna is a typical destination for school
tourism.
Visiting the town is an opportunity for cultural development and is a kind of
“travel into the past” for students. Admiring the monuments and the mosaics of
the 5th and 6th century, is a way come face to face Early Christian culture.
Entering the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia is a unique way to experience the
culture, the art and the spirituality of the 5th century. Admiring the mosaics
of the church of san Vitale is like travelling to the imperial court of
Constantinople and only a visit to the huge Mausoleum of Theodoric can make us
understand the King’s political utopia and religion.
Moreover, for students who can stay more than one day in the area, Ravenna offers many opportunities to extend their tour. In the surroundings there are many pleasant towns, characteristic from an historical point of view. There is also the added chance to visit the Repubblic of San Marino and the Natural Park of Delta del Po.
