Ravenna is well known as the depositary of the richest in the world collection of the V and the VI century’s mosaics. Collection of copies of the Byzantine mosaics from Ravenna was created in the beginning of the 1950s on Giuseppe Bovini’s own initiative to disseminate knowledges on Ravenna and its priceless collections all over the world. Copies were made by the group of mosaic workers from the Academy of Fine Arts, who are the staunch keepers of this ancient craft.
