From 9 to 11 September, the streets of the historical centre and Classis Museum will host the history festival RAVENNA HISTORIA MUNDI, which will stage scenes from the everyday life and activities of the ancient times.
On Friday 9 September, the historical centre will be livened up by a historical parade with a group of reenactors, who were also at the centre of various TV specials presented by Alberto Angela.
From the Imperial Age (1st century AD) to the Exarchate of Ravenna (6th-7th century AD), the parade will pass by the historical monuments of the city and bring Ravenna back to its Golden Age. A preview of the following days.
On Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th September, the park in front of the Classis Museum will be the protagonist of a real journey through time.
