Ravenna- San Vitale
La Basilica di San Vitale a Ravenna fu iniziata nel 526, al tempo dell’arcivescovo Ecclesio, quando la città era ancora sotto il dominio dei Goti. Fu poi costruita nel corso dei successivi vent’anni, quindi durante il regno dell’imperatore Giustiniano e contemporaneamente alla Chiesa di Santa Sofia a Costantinopoli (oggi Istanbul). Venne consacrata dal vescovo Massimiano nel 547 e dedicata a San Vitale, un martire dei primi secoli del Cristianesimo. Concepita per rendere testimonianza della grandezza imperiale bizantina, e del regno giustinianeo in particolare, presenta un impianto planimetrico centrale e soluzioni strutturali che la distinguono nettamente dalle tipiche basiliche longitudinali d’Italia.
La Chiesa di San Vitale presenta una pianta ottagonale, con il perimetro esterno ripetuto all’interno da un secondo ottagono i cui lati sono dilatati da esedre a due ordini sovrapposti di arcate.
L’edificio è in semplice laterizio e si presenta all’esterno volutamente disadorno e spoglio. La cupola, molto alta, è emisferica e impostata su pennacchi; all’esterno, essa risulta nascosta da un tiburio, una sorta di involucro architettonico a sua volta ottagonale. La forma geometrica della chiesa risulta quindi composta da vari nuclei, tutti rigorosamente definiti: il corpo principale, il tiburio, l’abside (poligonale all’esterno, semicircolare all’interno) e un nartece a forcipe, ossia un piccolo atrio di ingresso rettangolare concluso da due absidi laterali, qui curiosamente posto in obliquo e tangente a un angolo della facciata principale.

The Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna was begun in 526, at the time of Archbishop Ecclesio, when the city was still under the rule of the Goths. It was then built during the following twenty years, then during the reign of Emperor Justinian and simultaneously with the Church of St. Sophia in Constantinople (today Istanbul). It was consecrated by Bishop Maximian in 547 and dedicated to Saint Vitale, a martyr of the first centuries of Christianity. Designed to bear witness to Byzantine imperial greatness, and to the Justinian kingdom in particular, it has a central planimetric layout and structural solutions that clearly distinguish it from the typical longitudinal basilicas of Italy.
The Church of San Vitale has an octagonal plan, with the external perimeter repeated inside by a second octagon whose sides are expanded by exedrations in two superimposed orders of arches.
The building is made of simple brick and is deliberately unadorned and bare on the outside. The dome, very high, is hemispherical and set on pendentives; on the outside, it is hidden by a tiburium, a sort of architectural shell in turn octagonal. The geometric shape of the church is therefore composed of various nuclei, all rigorously defined: the main body, the tiburium, the apse (polygonal on the outside, semicircular on the inside) and a forceps narthex, a small rectangular entrance hall concluded by two lateral apses, here curiously placed obliquely and tangent to a corner of the main façade.
