Ravenna Experience
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

Under Ravenna's golden snow. Staying between ancient and contemporary mosaic
Ravenna is awaiting you for two unforgettable days.
You will have the opportunity to visit the Mosaic Capital illuminated not only by the golden lights of its mosaics, but also by the Christmas decorations that brighten it up, and stroll among the Christmas Huts that characterise Piazza del Popolo during the festivities.
The must-see guided tour of five of the eight Unesco sites will be just a small taste of the ancient mosaic art that characterises our basilicas. Indeed, you will be able to go inside Palazzo Rasponi, which this year is hosting one of the main exhibitions of the 7th edition of the Biennale del Mosaico Contemporaneo, and finally, you will have the chance to challenge yourself in this ancient tradition by creating a mosaic jewel together with one of our mosaicists.
