Ravenna is getting ready for Valentine's Day with a series of themed guided tours throughout the city centre. The tour will touch all the places people of Ravenna loved.
It will be about the extramarital love affair between Lord Byron and Teresa Gamba; about passion, the one between Paolo Malatesta and Francesca da Polenta that wins everything; about the disinterested love of the countess Gugù Rasponi for her children; about the statue of the knight that makes all women fall in love, and much more. At the end of the tour, all the participants will be offered a tasty aperitif in one of the pubs or bars of the city centre.
