Delitto Pasolini
Nonostante sia stato pubblicato nel 2016, Accadde all’Idroscalo di Fabio #Sanvitale e Armando #Palmegiani resta uno dei saggi più convincenti sul brutale omicidio di Pier Paolo #Pasolini

Empress Theodora, consort of Justinian I, in mosaic at San Vitale, Ravenna (c. 547 CE).
Crowned, haloed, and holding the Eucharistic chalice — power and piety rendered in gold tesserae.

✨ Dome of San Vitale ✨
Byzantine brilliance in Ravenna: a 6th-c. vision of Christ, angels & paradise swirling above. Built under Justinian, this dome still lifts the gaze heavenward. 🌟

SARCOPHAGUS OF THE LAMBS, C5. PRATO DI S. VITALE, RAVENNA Between 1910 and 1919, excavations carried out in front of the façade of the church of S. Agnese in Ravenna revealed a monumental graveyard with huge stone sarcophagi. These were first moved to the archaeological museum in the monastery of S. Romualdo, but were subsequently used as decoration for the city. Several were placed here in the field around S. Vitale. This one is typical of Ravenna's late-antique sarcophagi: a huge marble box with a tall heavy lid, difficult to rob. These lids characterise "Ravenna-style" sarcophagi, along with a near total renunciation of the classic vocabulary of funerary reliefwork. The most we get here are two pilasters at the corners. Otherwise the form of the sarcophagus front is similar to the two Erotes holding a clipeus of the deceased, except that the clipeus is a laurel wreath containing the chrismon flanked by sheep standing on the ground. Two flowers float over the backs of the sheep.
#SarcophagusSaturday takes us to the park around the #lateantique #basilica of #SanVitale in #Ravenna, where a series of impressive #sarcophagi line the paths toward the so-called #mausoleum of #GallaPlacidia. #AncientBluesky 🏺
