You nailed all those pronunciations, chapeau! Squacquerone is very hard for non local Italians too. Thanks for sharing these clips about my beloved hometown.
The basilica is fantastic. Not much to look at from the outside, but inside is great. And the fact that it is close to the beach makes it even more reason to visit Ravenna.
I agree, from outside it looks kind of boring but inside is AMAZING!!! We were at the beach everyday and seeing great sites too. Ravenna really is amazing. I will definiately go back
Thanks. It really is a great city to visit. We want to go back. I had thought about visiting Ravenna for years but never got there, but once I went... I have to go back :) it is on my 10 hidden towns of Europe video too as I loved it so much. nice family friendly beaches too.
Spent four years there many years ago. I agree with just about all you mentioned. But, man, calm down, take a deep breath, the world is not ending in the next moment....
I know. I was amazed when I was there. The churches were really amazing. It was a nice relaxing town to visit to be honest. I will be going back. oh and I will try to get to Turkey, but it all depends on vacation time and thatmoney thing :) damn that money thing :)
Was there a few years pre-Covid and had three full days--not enough! (But in Italy, most vacation stops are "not enough" for the amount there is to see and experience.) I spent most of my time visiting the monuments with mosaics, which were wonderful. I agree completely with the most important sites. San Vitale is the most magnificent, Mausoleum of Galla Placida most exquisite, San Apollinare Nuovo most "human," with its vignettes of biblical scenes and pictures of Ravenna at the time. I went out (by local bus) to see Sant Apollinare in Classe, which is probably my "fourth best." I would add the museum attached to the cathedral, which has some marvelous art, including a throne made of carved ivory panels! Would add that I was there in October, the rainy season, and the interiors of the churches are fairly dark, so not so easy to take great photographs. But a bonus is that many of the churches have old carved sarcophagi and other objects along the walls, which are beautiful--but never seem to get mentioned in guidebooks. Ravenna is a pleasant, low-stress city, and the people are friendly and helpful. Some good shopping too. Found a wonderful bookstore on the main shopping street where I got some beautiful books on the mosaics. Finally, it's a lovely city to walk around, with plenty of picturesque old buildings. If you like to take photos and videos, it's wonderful!
Gotta check out Ravenna in the winter... light snow, pretty sky, boarding is cheap, and around Christmas/new year's/holiday time they have festive lights everywhere and this cool projection show on the monuments exclusive to the season
....n. 6 in the list,the "Mercato Coperto" does not exist any longer....been closed for few years and reopened recently, but nothing to do with the original one...so you might skip it if you visit Ravenna after 2019....
@@deboraaparisi9999 None, cos that old central one has not been replaced in a similar way. You can still visit the building but inside it has nothing to do with the original market that was a real meeting center for people in town. It was oriented in selling food, so there were plenty of stands selling meat, cured meat, cheese, fish, fruit and vegis, and you could smell the scent of all these fresh products. As I said nothing to do with what you find now.
I'm making the first dish for my wife tomorrow, I was going to use the chesse sause, but I could find one that sounded very good so I got a tomato based sause from italy so what the hell why not... I don't know exactly what the meat was so I'm using pancette...
I'm from ravenna and it's so nice seeing people enjoying my city :)

Town Council should pay you for this video. But Please don't eat cappelletti with cream & ham. Meat Broth. Faaaaar better.

Just stumbled across your channel. Love your videos. Great commentary. Now I want to search Italian and French holidays! All the best. :)
Thanks! Looks like a good place to visit.
Very informative!

thank you!
Bellissimo video!
sounds good to me
Every time i go for i walk i see those monuments cuz I live in Ravenna, anyway its a good city to visit and is so at man's measure
Very neat
Didn't know that the Byzantium civilization stayed in western Europe long enough to make an impact on antediluvian Italian architecture.
Fascinating
Salve sono di Ravenna!!
I live in Ravenna Nebraska USA lol
I completely agree :) Jocelyn is gorgeous :) and classy... I have no idea what she sees in me though :)
San Vitale is the one with the mosaic of Justinian, right?
Edit: lol I forgot thats my profile pic
2019!
Right now I am spending 5 weeks here near Ravenna, got an amazing apartment from federicavacanze and take the bus to Ravenna.
Btw, i think you should do a video on Turkey, as soon as its safe enough to travel of course. I'm not sure how family friendly it is though.
Did you Check out Forli? My family originated there
Cappelletti is mainly eaten in broth, otherwise we (Romagnoli) call them tortellini ( with ragù or cream)

Strange question can you rent three wheeled bike? Did you see any ?
I once visited Ravenna, absolutely beautiful city with the ugliest port in the entire world.
:)
like it

Yeah money is always of issue. Its the main reason why i haven't traveled more. Flights cost too much for one.
Its Hot right Walter?
It can be a bit hot in summer for sure. But we'll worth visiting. We loved it
Wonder if he still around! Now he would be forced masks!
Too much looking at you, guy.
You need to exercise and reduce weight. Your panting
And you’re tactless.
