Tra tour dedicati, angoli suggestivi e sapori autentici, Ravenna vi invita a vivere il lato più romantico e autentico della sua anima, Lasciatevi conquistare da questa città che ha fatto da sfondo a grandi storie d’amore e passioni senza tempo.
Che si tratti di una passeggiata tra mosaici dorati, di un aperitivo con racconti affascinanti o di un’avventura tra enigmi e misteri, non c’è occasione migliore per scoprire – o riscoprire – la città da una prospettiva diversa.
La statua si trova nella Loggetta Lombardesca del Museo MAR, e pare sia stata creata avendo a disposizione la maschera mortuaria del cavaliere, che doveva essere del tutto simile al viso marmoreo. Questa scultura è anche stata catturata dall’obiettivo della macchina da presa di Marcello Aliprandi per il film La ragazza di latta (1970). Nei titoli di testa, la protagonista interpretata da Sydne Rome, si china sulla statua per baciare il suo bellissimo volto e le sue labbra marmoree
Lasciatevi conquistare da questa città che ha fatto da sfondo a grandi storie d’amore e passioni senza tempo, amori epistolari, casate nobili, ma anche tragedie e tradimenti, amor di patria e tanto altro.
Per chi cerca un’esperienza speciale, il tour guidato “Ravenna Romantica”, condurrà i partecipanti attraverso i luoghi più romantici della città, raccontando le passioni e gli amori che hanno attraversato le sue strade, da Dante a Lord Byron
Per chi ama la creatività, un laboratorio di mosaico è un’esperienza sicuramente originale: un momento per sperimentare insieme la tecnica del mosaico e magari realizzare un cuore da portare a casa come ricordo.

E per chi vuole sorprendere con un regalo speciale, presso l’Ufficio Informazioni Turistiche il Mosaic Temporary Shop propone una selezione di oggetti artigianali in mosaico, pezzi unici realizzati da mosaiciste locali che possono diventare un dono perfetto per San Valentino.
Alfred Nakache was a French swimmer of Jewish origin, holder of a world record. In Auschwitz he was prisoner number 172,763. Despite his imprisonment and unheard of privations, he never stopped training by diving into the freezing water of a reservoir. His strength, his unshakeable determination, allowed him to go through the horror of the camp and save himself. When he returned to compete, he achieved a new record and took part in the London Olympics. 
Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist, was also interned in Auschwitz. Immediately after the liberation, he wrote a book about his experience and about those who, just like Nakache, managed to overcome that terrible ordeal. The show aims to bring back these two extraordinary figures who communicate a message of hope to all of us: living is certainly also suffering, but seeking a meaning to this suffering by looking towards the future with a purpose is the way to face the hardest challenges that life presents us. In this way, it is possible to finally discover the very meaning of existence.
The scene around him becomes essential, composed mainly of lines of lights designed by Marco Laudando and which become the symbol of lanes in a swimming pool, of rails that transport souls full of pain to finally rise to perspective escapes in a tension towards the unknown, the absolute, the search for a spirituality more necessary than ever in an attempt to survive the brutality of the concentration camp. 
The scene is then enriched by images filmed by Marco Renda that immerse the spectator in abstract yet material and poetic spaces, in an essential black and white, non-places that are mirrors of the soul. Again, the show makes use of the original music by Francesco Bova that builds sound carpets rich in throbs and references, that envelop and sometimes disorientate the spectators, but always with the intent to involve and excite.
Because, if the story of an Auschwitz inmate inevitably brings us back to the many testimonies heard up to now, it is true that that of the swimmer Nakache stands out from these to become especially the emblem of a resistance carried forward and achieved with courage and stubbornness. A figure who, to fully emerge, however, needs his “double” – the scholar Frankl, – who analyses and theorises what the instinctive Alfred instinctively puts into action. In this vision Alfred and Viktor are each other’s mirror, they are two sides of the same coin and they merge in an experience capable of giving spectators the ultimate meaning of existence.

«In tutto quello che ho fatto c’è sempre qualcosa che mi piacerebbe modificare – ha dichiarato in un’intervista a Vanity Fair – però sto cercando la grande melodia che non ho ancora scritto: so che è da qualche parte là fuori e questa convinzione è ciò che mi spinge ad alzarmi dal letto ogni mattina»

At TEATRO MENOTTI till 01
Welcome to Manchester, England: a mix of Victorian structures, former industrial buildings and spectacular ultramodern constructions. A ballet of styles and architecture often highlighted by the birthplace of world-famous football, a city full of world-class art galleries and a music scene that has seen the local band Oasis take centre stage. 
Oh, and bees, which have been the iconic symbol of this city of hard-working, industrious people since 1840, rightly proud of its connection to the industrious insect. When you walk the streets of Manchester, look around and you will see them everywhere.
In short: days full of excitement and a nightlife that will have you dancing from dusk till dawn accompanied by generous pints of beer, and what a beer!
Ready for your tour of the city?

I loved
If you want to experience essential and pleasantly alternative cuisine, here is 
One of the most popular dish is the beetroot is chopped into irregular shapes and roasted with some spices, vinegar, brown sugar and olives until beginning to char. They’re served with ajo blanco which is sharpened with sherry vinegar then a sauce made with green chilli and coriander goes on top to freshen it up.
the hotel offers large suites with private balconies from which you can enjoy the view of the city skyline.
You will also find a well-equipped gym open until midnight.
In Manchester, showers are frequent and often unexpected, if you have not packed an umbrella the hotel provides very useful umbrellas for rent. What a good idea !

Alessandro Borghese is an eclectic and innovative chef, undoubtedly one of the most authoritative and influential figures in the Italian gastronomic scene, after graduating from the American Overseas School in Rome, he embarked on cruise ships for three years. His culinary experiences continued in restaurants in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, 
Copenhagen, Rome, Milan and Venice, while his gastronomic “investigations” continue up and down Italy in the Italian TV show “Alessandro Borghese 4 Restaurants” written, produced and hosted by Alessandro.
With “Alessandro Borghese 4 Restaurants” you visited many places, which one remained in your heart?
Everywhere the black van with the program’s logo has become a must for selfies… when it is parked or stopped at the traffic light, it becomes the protagonist and photos next to the door go crazy on social media. I live with immense pleasure the reality of those places and the daily life of the inhabitants I meet, they are all in my heart 
How would you describe your cuisine?
What is “Your” favorite dish? 
Is “TV cooking” a current trend? 
When does food become “glamorous”?
Food has captured the attention of television networks and the Internet because cooking is the soul of Italy and the engine of important commercial activities. It is no coincidence that our raw materials are unique and exceptional. Then today we are lucky to have immediate means of communication: anyone through television and the internet can follow the procedures and advice on a dish to prepare. 
I am very happy to have been a precursor of this new vision of food: I had an idea of the success of cooking on television ever since it was unusual to become a testimonial for a gastronomic product. I am also proud to have cleared the union of cooking with other similar universes, such as music and art. Before, it was unthinkable to describe dishes with rock songs or to talk in an interview like this about possible combinations between the two realities. 
Fashions change, even in food. What dish you think will always be in vogue. Creativity. It is not a tangible dish, but I like it because it is an absolutely free concept, without end. 
Do you have a dream in the drawer?

Il piccolo fanciullo intanto apre la madia per cercare se vi è rimasto qualcosa da mangiare.
