Ravenna is a province in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, with a population of 387,096 in 2020. The city of Ravenna is universally known for the richness of its artistic heritage of early Christian and Byzantine mosaics dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries. The city of Faenza hosts the international museum of ceramics. There are many neoclassical buildings such as Palazzo Milzetti in Romagna, and the Villa Rotonda dei Laderchi in the Castel Raniero area. Other important places include the medieval village of Brisighella, the historic centre of Bagnacavallo, "il Cardello" (the birthplace of Alfredo Oriani) in Casola Valsenio, the floors of the Roman Villa and the 17th-century Palazzo San Giacomo in Russi.
