The World Heritage of Humanity sites in the region: Ravenna, Modena and Ferrara

An imperial Byzantine stronghold in Italy, Ravenna experienced a period of splendor and wealth until the 8th century. It is characterized by religious monuments of late antiquity, a fusion of the artistic influences from the Orient with Christian iconography, with splendid internal gold mosaics.

In Modena, the Cathedral, designed by Lanfranco and decorated by Wiligelmo, the Civic Tower and Piazza Grande, the main square, represent an eminent example of complex architecture from the 12th century which reflects the culture of the times in which the religious and civic values were united in a medieval Christian city.

Under the lordship of the Estensi, Ferrara in the 15th century very quickly became the representation of the ideal city, thanks to artists such as Biagio Rossetti, Piero della Francesca and Andrea Mantegna. Designed in a unique way, this Renaissance city’s urban structure has remained virtually intact.
