You leave Ravenna with the Adriatic light sliding across the dashboard, the car threading through the flat Po Plain where the land feels mapped by canals and reclaimed marshes. The road hums; fields and cypress lines blur. Two hours pause at the Abbey of Pomposa breaks the transit rhythm — a squat Romanesque church, a lofty campanile, and stone that still carries medieval weight.
