Wonders - The Peninsula of Treasures S02E02 · Italy's Treasures: From Ravenna to Sardinia

Overview

The journey through the treasures of our country will start from Ravenna, a city which alone houses eight monuments protected by UNESCO as unique testimonies of a distant era in which Italy transitioned from antiquity to the Middle Ages. The first stop will be the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, where the story of one of the last Roman empresses still echoes. Then it will be the turn of Theodoric's tomb, with the black legends that surround his story, and the precious mosaics of San Vitale, where the gold still shines today as it did 1500 years ago. The final stop will be in front of Dante's tomb, whose remains have been at the center of an intricate story. Witness from the city, the motorcycling champion Marco Melandri. Alberto Angela will then move to Sardinia, to discover a unique land.
