Guess this photo - October 2018

Where is this?

 

[Ian Sutton]

I don't know, but I'm sure I recognise it from Italy Unpacked TV programme

 

[Tim W]

Ian, you do - it was featured in the first episode of the series.
I'll leave this until this evening, then I'll post a couple more photos from the same place.

Prosciuto country?

 

[Tim W]

Prosciuto country? - Could be, this was lunch.

 

[JustTravel]

I am traveling with a new laptop (very limited photos), so will let someone else guess. Sure looks like very yummy lunch!

 

[Tim W]

The same place, from a different angle.

 

[Eleanor]

Is that Palma Ham and Palma Cathedral?

 

[Tim W]

Yes Eleanor. I was in Parma about two weeks ago, and the interior of the cathedral is just stunning - easily puts Parma into my "top three".

The first photo, is part of The Assumption of the Virgin by Antonio da Correggio

 

[Eleanor]

I'm getting to the stage I can't remember what pictures I've already posted... I don't think I've used this one yet.

 

[Tim W]

Another one of my "Top Three cathedrals" - Monreale cathedral, Sicily. (For those interested, the 3rd is Siena)

 

[Eleanor]

That didn't take you long Tim. Mind you with those golden mosaics, it couldn't be anywhere else. It is an amazing building but photogrpahs just didn't do it justice.

Over to you.

 

[Tim W]

This shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Tim W]

No guesses? Another church in the same city.

 

[JustTravel]

Ravenna?

 

[Penn251]

I think the first picture is Bailica of Sant'Appollinare Nuovo in Ravenna.

 

[Tim W]

JustTravel, you are correct - but Penn251 has the exact location. The second picture is from the Basilica of San Vitale.

I was pleasantly surprised by Ravenna - some trip reports had referred to it as "a dump", but I thought it quite pleasant.

 

[JustTravel]

I will start the November one.
