La Basilica di San Vitale a Ravenna risale al VI sec., iniziata sotto il regno dei Goti, e proseguì sotto quello del Bizantini che avevano conquistato Ravenna nel 540 e fu terminata durante l'impero di Giustiniano. Venne fondata dal Vescovo Ecclesio, tra 525 e 532, appena arrivato da Costantinopoli dove si era recato per una missione. La chiesa sorge nel luogo in cui secondo la Legenda Aurea di Jacopo da Varagine, è stato ucciso San Vitale, ed è dedicata a lui. I lavori sono stati finanziati da Giuliano l'argentario (banchiere greco arricchitosi nella guerra greco-gotica) si pensa che fosse un agente di Giustiniano, incaricato di promuovere grandi imprese costruttive per affermare il dominio bizantino anche culturale in Italia. E' stata consacrata dal Vescovo Massimiano nel 547-48. Il visitatore è abbagliato dalla ricchezza dei mosaici con dettagli di origine orientale e legati alla tradizione ellenistico-romana ; accanto ai simboli frequenti nella cristianità orientale come il pavone, sarà possibile scorgere volatili e arbusti presenti nelle pinete e valli del ravennate. I Mosaici di san Vitale sono di epoche diverse ma complessivamente appartengono al VI sec. I più antichi, del tempo di Ecclesio, sono quelli del catino absidale con la Teofania. Nelle pareti ai laterali dell'abside si trovano i due mosaici con il Corteo di Giustiniano e il Corteo di Teodora. In tutti gli spazi disponibili (lunette, estradossi degli archi, pareti,ecc.) sono ospitati mosaici con scene tratte dalle Sacre scritture.

Congratulations Renato, for this majestic vision that you offer us!
The framing is satisfying and induces in an almost natural and instinctive way to admiration for the masterpiece that presents itself to the viewer's gaze.
Best regards,
Andrea
