Guided Tour of Palazzo Guiccioli: Byron, the Risorgimento and a Rediscovered Treasure
Have you ever wondered what connects the renowned English poet Lord Byron to the city of Ravenna?
Perhaps not everyone knows that it was here, within the walls of the noble Palazzo Guiccioli, that Byron experienced one of the most intense chapters of his life: his passionate love affair with Teresa Gamba, Countess Guiccioli, and his commitment to the Italian independence movements.
The guided tour will take you through the rooms of the palace, now restored and open to the public for the first time in decades, revealing stories of romantic love, ideals of freedom, and legendary poetic creations such as Don Juan and The Prophecy of Dante.
Strolling among original memorabilia, recreated historical settings, and modern multimedia displays, you'll uncover how Byron, a man of extraordinary life, found in Ravenna a source of inspiration and purpose. At the same time, you'll explore the history of the Guiccioli family and the role of the Palazzo during the Italian Risorgimento, when dreams of independence and unity intertwined with daily life.
Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in a unique experience of poetry, history, and intrigue—because every great story deserves to be heard where it truly happened.

Cappelletto, the king of Romagna table - FRESH PASTA WORKSHOP
Would you like to learn how to roll out the dough to make a fantastic homemade pasta dish yourself?
This workshop is for you!
The “sfogline”* of the Mercato Coperto, bearers of rolling pin and wisdom, will teach you how to prepare the real cappelletto romagnolo.
*The “sfoglina” (pasta maker) is historically seen as a middle-aged woman who, using a rolling pin and a pastry board, "rolls the dough" strictly by hand to create the base for tagliatelle, tortellini and other stuffed and unstuffed egg pasta.
Cappelletti are, for Romagna, a dish charged with a symbolism of well-being, wealth and opulence. In the past, wishing "cappelletti on the table and throughout the year", was in fact one of the most heartfelt and appreciated wishes.
The experience will be complemented by a GUIDED TOUR OF THE MERCATO COPERTO by the staff, to discover the history, architecture, furnishings and enogastronomic thinking of the place

Tour & short class of mosaic in Ravenna
In the heart of Ravenna, a World Heritage Site, Koko Mosaico carries on the language of the mosaic, constantly renewing it, without losing sight of its roots.
The workshop is like an ancient art shop, where you can buy and order mosaics and learn the techniques of realization.
At the same time you can admire the contemporary works of the artist Luca Barberini.
The course we propose is just a small taste of the grandeur of this ancient art.
You can realize a copy of an ancient mosaic of the Roman or Byzantine period, directly created on cement mortar.
After a brief introduction to the mosaic and the cutting of the tiles with the ancient tools of the trade - small hammer and carbide hardie - you will actively participate to every phase of realization of your artwork: from the drafting of the cement mortar, to the completion of the mosaic.
You can use precious materials that were already used in the ancient times as marble, Venetian enamels and golden tiles, depending on the copy you chose to recreate.
The objective will be to realize a mosaic of about 10x10 cm.
