Next year in Ravenna. I can't wedge it in this time. Not only for Dante's tomb, but the incredible Byzantine-period mosaics there : Justinian, Belisarius, many churches, and the fantastically good ones in the heretical Arian Baptistry. Yeats was inspired by Ravenna (... Grecian goldsmiths ...), and he was (online company here at Eratosphere excepted), the first-best English language poet of the last hundred years (Auden being the second best).
