Ravenna, an amazing city lighted up by the gold of the mosaics of the Basilica of San Vitale and the deep blue ones with stars in Galla Placidia’s mausoleum. A city that is celebrating Dante Alighieri, who spent here his final years. And a well-versed one in photography, too. An example? The solo exhibition Paolo Roversi – Studio Luce at MAR Ravenna Art Museum dedicated to the well-known photographer.
Some characteristics of Ravenna are perceivable in the works by Roversi: sparkles evoking the ancient mosaics, rarefied atmospheres, kind of dematerialisation of the images. They somehow remind us of the lights and the mists of the surrounding wetlands and lagoons, that create impalpable and ethereal shapes.
